Many businesses and organizations use signs to tell more about themselves and create a memorable brand. Some companies are able to do that with simple, possibly hand made signs, but other organizations often need something more tailored to fit their needs.
A custom sign can be made with a variety of materials and colors, and allows for the complete personalization of a brand identity. These different options are used to signify different feelings, ideas, and emotions.
For example, many signs are made from a high density foam, which is very easy to work with and form into the shapes needed. Unfortunately, these foam signs are not the strongest and may be vulnerable to damage.
Acrylic is also used to make clear signs. This is a great option for adding prints because the surfaces adhere well.
A custom sign can also be made entirely from metal, which is very malleable and can be formed or cut into many shapes. It's also a very strong material so damage is less likely. However, metal is heavier, so it may limit where you can place the sign.
The speaker in the video embedded goes over each of these materials more in depth to each of these materials, as well as different ways to work with each.
