Dimensional letters and logos

Individual letters, stood off the wall, so the building reads at speed.

What you get

Dimensional letters and logos, made properly

Dimensional letters are the cleanest way to sign a modern facade. Each letter is cut, formed and mounted individually — flush to the wall, or stood off on studs so it floats and casts a shadow. Halo illumination behind stood-off letters gives you a lit sign without a lit box.

The critical work is invisible: a mounting pattern that is dead level across a long run, fixings suited to the substrate, and letter spacing optically corrected so the word looks evenly set rather than mathematically equal.

  • Cut and formed metal, acrylic and urethane letters
  • Flush, stud-mounted or halo-illuminated
  • Optically corrected letter spacing
  • Templated installation for a dead-level run
  • Sculpted logos and crests to match

Questions

Before you commission a sign

Two weeks is typical for most carved and dimensional work once the design is approved. Hand-carved and sculpted pieces, and anything with gold leaf, run four to six weeks. Permit review by your township is separate and can add several weeks, so it is worth starting early.

Yes. Most New Jersey municipalities regulate sign size, height, setback and illumination, and many require scaled drawings for zoning approval. We prepare the drawings and submit the application as part of the project.

HDU is high-density urethane — a closed-cell board that carves like clay and holds crisp detail. Unlike timber it will not rot, warp, split or absorb water, so it is the better choice for most exterior signs. We still carve solid cedar, cherry and mahogany when a client specifically wants real wood.

Genuine 23K leaf is almost pure gold, so it does not oxidise or tarnish. Properly laid and sized on a well-prepared surface, exterior gilding regularly lasts decades. Imitation leaf and gold paint will dull within a few years, which is why we use the real thing.
