3 Ways to Use Inlaid Finishes with Aluminum Nameplates
- Transparent Tint for Contrast
Bright aluminum is a classic look when designing for decorative trim. Adding a hint of transparent color provides opportunity to frame the logo and text. This adds an artistic flair to a straightforward design. - Screened Texture for Dimension
Fine, tactile detail can be added to aluminum nameplates with screened texture to give dimension. This provides opportunity for accent borders or text to have a jewelry like appearance, raising the perceived value of the product. A clear texture on brushed aluminum results in a simulated etched look. - Faux Finish or Pattern for Accent
Aluminum provides a versatile foundation for decoration to show a faux finish or other pattern structure with brand awareness. Faux finishes from wood grain and stone patterns to carbon fiber and animal skins can be translated into the decoration. Incorporating a finish like this provides an accent area to draw interest.
Conclusion
Aluminum nameplates and emblems have wide open possibilities for the look and the message that is given in the marketplace. Dressing up that nameplate or emblem can be accomplished by adding a hint of color for contrast, using a screened texture for dimension or incorporating a pattern into an area for accent. The possibilities are endless.How will you dress up your brand identification? Let us help!
