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:

  1. Layout: establish reference lines and a placement plan so the logo sits centered and level.
  2. Mounting method: choose hardware or adhesives that match the wall and the logo’s weight.
  3. Alignment: place each element with consistent spacing and clean reveals.
  4. 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.
