Desk Name Plates – Personalization for your Employees
If you are looking for ways to make your office look more professional and provide a sense of dignity and belonging to your office employees, explore the wide range of style and colors that you can select for nameplate signs from T-Cube Signs. Whether you want to show appreciation for a single employee or your whole staff, name plates can provide a great way to impress your clients and vendors, and a personalized name plate provides functionality by announcing the names and titles of your staff.
Why are name plates so important to your business? There are actually several reasons. A person’s title within your organization may be very personal a valuable to them. Displaying an employee’s title prominently with a professional looking name plate can mean a lot to an individual. Titles are often obtained over many years of hard work and dedication so it makes sense that a person’s title is important to them.
Recognition in the form of a custom name plate can also help to remind an employee of their individual status and importance within an organization. When a person is able to take pride in the status they have achieved among their co-workers, customers and vendors, that employee is more likely to feel compassionate toward the employer who recognizes this status.
Finally, one of the most utilitarian uses for a name plate is to simply identify your employee to people unfamiliar with your company. When a potential customer is able to see your employee’s name, that instant feeling of familiarity will help to facilitate your face-to-face business transactions.
Name plates can be informal as well. If you have an employee that has earned a particularly positive reputation or appealing nickname, that can be used on a name plate as well to support overall morale within your organization. They can even be used for temporary titles during short projects such as “Team Leader” or “Project Coach” and more.
Name plates are wonderful ways to promote an “Employee of the Month” program at your company. Name plates bearing the winner’s name can be displayed temporarily at the employee’s office, desk or workstation, or they can be displayed permanently in an area designated for winners of this distinction. A combination of these two strategies often works best.
The workplace isn’t the only use for name plates. When you are trying to think of a gift for that special someone who is difficult to buy for, consider a custom name plate. Father’s day, birthdays or holidays are great reasons to consider a custom-made name plate dignifying the recipient with words of affection and endearment.
Whether you live and work in New Jersey, or New York, Washington or Oregon, or anywhere in between, look to T-Cube Signs today for all your custom name plate needs. Whether for professional or for personal use, custom name plates
are a cost effective way to send valuable messages to your employees, customers, vendors and even your friends and family.

Signage Lighting for Day and Night
Signage for your business should always be clean and legible, and to help with its visibility, lighting is a very important design consideration. You may think that lighting is such a simple issue that it may be addressed after your sign is in place, however, you may want to consider the location and the lighting available for that location before you place your sign. Issues that may seem insignificant when it comes to proper lighting can make a significant difference in the effectiveness of your sign.
Lighting Circuits and Cycles
First, be sure that any lighting that is dedicated to signage is on its own circuit. If there are other lights that may share the circuit or switch, you run the risk of the sign lights being turned off by accident. If your signage is on the same circuit as your exterior architectural lighting that will be acceptable, especially if those lights are controlled by timers. Photocell switches can be used to light your signs when it gets dark; however, this means that your sign will be lit for many hours when little or no traffic passes which is adds to your electrical costs unnecessarily.
Even Lighting
Large signs may require several light fixtures and many bulbs. Some signs are lit from behind while others are lit from the front with spotlights. In either case it is important to make certain that all bulbs are working, and that there is an adequate supply of replacements on hand in case they are needed. If your lights primarily operate after business hours, make sure that someone is regularly checking the lights to see if any bulbs are out. A half lit sign looks shoddy and unprofessional and it will reflect poorly on your business.
The lifespan of your bulbs and light fixtures are not the only consideration. If you have a monument sign of any type that is surrounded by landscaping, be sure to monitor the effect of shrubbery growth. Some plants grow rapidly and this can quickly cause unintended shadows to block the view of your sign when spotlights are used.
Finally, another impediment to even lighting is dirty fixtures and lenses on your lights. Spotlights that are located close to the ground are particularly susceptible to dirt and grime from a combination of weather and landscaping so be sure that your lighting stays clean and bright.
Is It Bright Enough?
Back lit signs show up well, but signs lit from the front with spotlights can be seen fairly well also. The decision on how to light your sign will depend on the style of your signage and the colors you utilize. When your sign is installed, be sure to study the environment in which your sign is located. While your sign may be well lit, you may find that other signs in your neighborhood are overpowering your sign. Be sure that your sign is bright enough to be noticed, and don’t be surprised if your backlit sign could benefit from additional lighting from the front in the form of intense spotlights.
From New York to California, and many states in between, T-Cube Signs can help you with your sign lighting questions, so be sure to contact us today.

Acrylic Signs Offer Many Finish Options
Acrylic signs can provide functional and effective signage with a wide variety of style, color and design capabilities. Your brand identity can be preserved and reinforced with professionally fabricated acrylic signs and you will find that your options are nearly unlimited. Acrylic signs offer many excellent solutions for your business, and many customers find that their existing signage has become old and outdated. New acrylic signs custom made to your specifications can be an excellent way to make sure your brand is communicated to your customers.
Acrylic signage can be created with individual letters to match your brand. Each letter can be mounted separately with standoff style mounts that will give the impression that the sign is floating. The depth and shadows will add to the effectiveness of your signage.
Does your company have a custom logo? Acrylic can be custom cut to match your logo design in one of several available thicknesses. Mount your logo sign directly to the wall or with floating standoff style mounts.
In addition to a wide variety of color choices for your acrylic signs, you can also choose from many metal finishes for letters or logo designs. From polished to brushed finishes, you can find a metal laminate that will meet your custom needs.
Mounting letters and logos to directly to your wall surfaces common, but you can also utilize acrylic panels as a background for your signage. Also available in a wide range of color and metal laminate choices, you can use an acrylic panel to frame your designs and add depth and interest to your signage.
While hardware is often hidden, decorative mounting hardware can also be used in various finishes. Brass, stainless steel, or even aluminum can be used with a polished or brushed finish. Using the right hardware can give your signage a classic or sophisticated look.
Once your sign is mounted, you will want to ensure that it is presented in the best light.

Nighttime lighting arrangements can often be dramatic and effective ways to show off your brand image.
Acrylic signage is not only advantageous because of its flexibility in design options. It is also important to remember that acrylic can be used for interior and exterior applications. This means that you will be able to maintain the same style and design elements at all exterior entrances and storefronts, as well as inside your place of business to show off your logo and brand, but also to direct your patrons with the appropriate interior directional signage.

Creativity with Shop Signs
Small shops, boutiques, galleries, and even
restaurants have all discovered that eye-catching signs can help to drive customers to their businesses. It is not surprising that these shops have all been able to capitalize on creativity. This is particularly so in areas where the artistic culture is present. Well designed, tasteful and eye-catching are all terms that describe properly executed shop signs. Marketplaces that have many small shops and galleries often become very busy during weekends, evenings, and holidays and each business competes for a share of the buying public’s dollar. Storefronts and signage are the first impression that many businesses convey to potential customers and when these elements are designed well, the customer experience is enhanced and people are more likely to feel comfortable enough to spend their money, and more importantly, they will feel comfortable enough to come back to the same location again to make a purchase.
While many shopping districts are full of well-designed and positioned shop signs, there are many more businesses across the country that are lacking. From New York to Oregon and as far south as Texas, high quality signage is badly needed throughout the USA and this is where custom sign fabricator like T-Cube signs can help. Homemade or signs designed and slapped together by amateurs are commonplace. Unfortunately, this type of signage does not help a business at all, but with the right direction, assistance, and professional help, these businesses could benefit greatly from well-designed sign products. Professional sign makers like T-Cube signs can provide you with expert advice and produce high quality products that will meet your signage needs.
First impressions are the most important consideration when you look toward your exterior and interior signage options. While interior and exterior signs may differ in construction, materials, mounting options and size, it should be obvious that they are representing the same brand and not at all obvious that they are of different construction or materials. Exterior signs should tell a potential customer immediately where you are located, what your brand is. It should also convey how your business may be able to solve a potential customer’s problem. That “problem” may simply be the desire to eat fine food, or to get their clothes dry-cleaned, or to have their automobile serviced. Whatever the nature of your business, be sure that your exterior signs communicate that properly to the public. Interior signage is there to create a feeling of comfort and familiarity, so it should match your exterior signage, your brand, your letterhead, uniforms and so on.
Within these guidelines, there is always ample room for creativity with design, color, and imagery. There is no need to inhibit creativity as long as you remain consistent in your branding and clear in your communication. A very creative signage campaign that fails to describe your business will not help your business whatsoever. Be sure that your message is loud and clear, and that your signage is beautiful, vibrant and grabs the attention of your potential customer.
