All that glitters is not gold, and that is certainly true of this group of aluminum nameplates. The metallic surface of aluminum is naturally a silvery color. Decorative processes ranging from spinning and brushing to printing and etching expand the palette of silver options when designing a nameplate or label.

Silver is a neutral color coordinating with all other colors.  Silver can seem warm, cold, modern or traditional depending on how it is used. This versatility is what makes it an attractive option when building your brand identity.

The graphics appear to be on a different visual pane so there is perceived depth and dimension. A subtle printed drop shadow enhances this look.
