Innovative 3D Logo Installation for Beyond Measure – A Timelapse Showcase
A quick look at bringing the Beyond Measure brand into their lobby with a dimensional, painted logo—plus what to plan before install day.
Key takeaways
- A clean 3D logo wall starts with approved artwork, exact sizing, and a layout plan before install day.
- Wall surface, lighting, and viewing angles affect how “dimensional” the finished logo feels.
- Install success comes down to alignment: reference lines, spacing, and a repeatable mounting method.
Join us behind the scenes as we bring the Beyond Measure brand to life with a striking 3D logo in their lobby. This post is a practical breakdown of what goes into a clean, dimensional logo install—and what to plan if you’re building a branded space of your own.
What is a 3D lobby logo (and why it works so well)?
A 3D lobby logo is dimensional lettering or a layered logo mark mounted directly to an interior wall. The depth creates shadows and highlights that can make the brand feel more “real” than a flat print, especially under good lighting.
What to plan before install day
The smoothest installs are the ones where the decisions are made up front. A few things that typically matter most:
- Final artwork: clean vector files with confirmed spacing and proportions.
- Target size: how wide the logo should be on the wall (and how far it needs to read).
- Wall details: material/finish, any texture, and what’s behind the wall.
- Lighting: where shadows will fall and whether the logo should “pop” or stay subtle.
- Access and timing: when the space is available and any building requirements.
If you’re getting ready to start, the fastest path is to send the logo file + a few photos of the wall via Start My Project. If you need help getting files ready, the artwork setup page covers what we need.
How a 3D logo installation typically comes together
Every job is a little different, but most dimensional logo installs follow the same rhythm:
- Layout: establish reference lines and a placement plan so the logo sits centered and level.
- Mounting method: choose hardware or adhesives that match the wall and the logo’s weight.
- Alignment: place each element with consistent spacing and clean reveals.
- Finish: final wipe-down, touch-ups if needed, and a quick lighting check.
Common pitfalls (and how to avoid them)
- Rushing approvals: confirm size, spacing, and color before fabrication so install day stays clean.
- Ignoring wall texture: heavy texture can change how edges sit and how shadows read.
- Underestimating lighting: the same logo can look completely different under warm vs. cool light.
