Located at 52 Webster Avenue, the Knickerbocker Lofts feature 45 residential units that take advantage of the building’s 1892 architectural beauty. One of its tenants, designer Raphael Zwyer, designed these unique reverse-lit address letters for the property in New Rochelle, NY, to assist with wayfinding, a team member contacted our sign shop for assistance.
Taking the Channel Lettering around a Corner? We Do That!
Reverse-lit channel letters imbue a façade with pizzazz. As the light reflects off the building’s brick façade, it bathes the numerals of the address in bright white illumination. In contrast, we left the lettering of the address portion unlit. This combination of lighted style elements and those without LEDs creates a fantastic distinction.
Moreover, notice how we manufactured the arrow that points toward the entrance. We bent the style element to go around a corner. In this way, the client was able to capitalize on the building’s street exposure without having to do two signs. Most importantly, the lettering is in keeping with the overall ambiance of the building.
Now, visitors and prospective residents have an easy time finding the building as well as the entrance. Besides that, the new signage underscores the branding that the management company embraces.
Unusual Signage Style Components are Our Specialty
Thinking outside the box and around the corner is something that our team gladly takes on. Sure, we manufacture standard reverse-lit channel letters with all style elements on the same side of the façade. However, when you want something that looks unusual and imbues your venue with that added elegance and pizzazz, we can accommodate you.
You could take a page from the playbook of Knickerbocker Lofts, and go around the corner. That said, you might also consider adding box cabinets to your façade with your regular channel letters. These cabinets can repeat your logo, feature niche-specific images, or create a specific ambiance that entices the consumer to step in.
Standing up your lettering on an overhang is another unique way of standing out. In the same way, we can suspend the letters from it. By the way, there is a wide variety of other ways to differentiate your business from the competition with the clever use of signage.
Examples include the combinations of signage products that underscore a brand message or begin a brand conversation. Many business owners choose building letters that they pair with window graphics. Building management companies favor a combination of letters and A-frames. Moreover, we can add flags, banners, and other signs that will be unique to you.
