When Joseph Archuleta opened his own practice in Denver, Colorado in 1992, he had a vision for his new firm - a vision that no ordinary "sign" would ever match. That's why his decision to use a genuine cast bronze plaque for his entrance is one he's never regretted. The plaque has been making great first impressions since day-one.

Designer's Notes:

Although this is a fairly straightforward law firm identification plaque, the use of different letter sizes throughout the inscription varies the emphasis on each element. Interchangeable Nameplates were used to allow future changes to individual names. - Bart

When opening my private practice in 1992, I didn't have a lot of money. However, I knew how critical it was to make a great impression on clients and convey stability in my practice. In other words, my plaque had to say 'this guy's going to be here for awhile.'

That's why I chose the look of genuine cast bronze from Innovative Signs, and I'm so glad I did. It's an investment that's been paying off for well over 20 years, and will continue to do so.

Jones_Plaque_Etched_Aluminum_Legal_Sign

The Jones firm took and entirely different approach to their plaque by using acid etched aluminum. Notice the lettering is recessed deep down into the aluminum material, leaving the entire background area a very attractive satin-brushed silver color.

Exposing this much of the metal's surface creates quite an attractive appearance, especially when combined with a contrasting mounting surface.

Unique Features: Horizontal line extends all the way to edges of plaque.

Designer's Notes:

William Field Designs designed this inscription for the Jones firm, so I can't take credit for it. However, I do like the way they left-justified the firm name, yet full-justified everything else to a standard width. This, combined with a plain edge and that horizontal line make for a very professional appearance. - Lisa

Notice how perfectly this DuraBronze™ plaque fits its mounting location? This is no accident.

No matter how nice a plaque design looks on paper, sizing and proportioning it to correctly fit its mounting location is just as important as the information it contains. Once mounted, your plaque should look as if it was meant to be there all along.

As for the information it contains, the video below explains two different approaches you can take. Your choice between the two is a matter of your own personal preference.

Unique Features: Scales of Justice, plus Interchangeable Nameplates for names and additional info.

Designer's Notes:

I thought this firm was wise to put their areas of practice on Interchangeable Nameplates, because those do tend to change over time. Street visibility was a requirement, so I designed a large plaque and kept "McGuire" on just one line. These two features, along with the scales of justice, will provide the instant recognition they were seeking. - Lisa
Mykkeltvedt Bldg_DuraBronze™_Law_Office_Sign

What type of plaques do Super Lawyers use?

For the Mykkeltvedt Loftin firm, home to 2011 Georgia Super Lawyer Jeffrey Mykkeltvedt, who, along with his partner, Davis Loftin, have been named Georgia Rising Stars a combined seven times, DuraBronze™ was their material of choice.

Mykkeltvedt_Plaque_DuraBronze™_Law_Office_Sign
Mykkeltvedt_CU_DuraBronze™_Law_Office_Sign

DuraBronze™ provides the look of cast metal for about half the cost, and, in this example, displays the Mykkeltvedt Loftin firm logo in a stunning simulation of cast aluminum.

It was the perfect choice, considering their office location in the Garden Hills Historic District of Atlanta, Georgia.

Osborn_Plaque_Cast_Bronze_Law_Firm_Sign

There are certain times when a more reserved approach will be much more effective for your firm. For example, when daily exposure to your entrance is limited to foot traffic, and those people all pass fairly close to your plaque, a smaller size may actually make a bigger first impression.

All of the same rules apply, of course, such as having a balanced inscription and being sized and proportioned to comfortably fit your mounting space. Just be sure to take your overall setting into consideration when thinking about plaque size, and share your thoughts with our Design Team. We'll make sure all of these elements are factored into your final design.

The Power of Landscaping...

Most plaques are not located where landscaping can be added, but when they are, and when the landscaping is created in a professional manner with plenty of contrasting colors, truly beautiful scenes can be created.

Unique Features: Interchangeable Nameplates for each attorney's name.

Designer's Notes:

This is a classic law firm plaque, but notice the use of larger initial caps in the firm name, and a fairly large overall plaque size. Both of these features increase readability. Also, with this many practicing attorneys, interchangeable nameplaste were mandatory in order to keep the plaque up to date over time. - Bart

The Sweet law firm first began using DuraBronze™ plaques for their offices over 20 years ago, in 1991. With each change in firm name through the years, DuraBronze™ was there to help them continue displaying the professional look of bronze - for about half the cost.

This is their latest plaque, which utilizes interchangeable nameplates for individual attorney names. Click the plaque to see its specs.

Designer's Notes:

It isn't always possible to arrange the scales of justice and the firm name side-by-side, because a lot of specs need to be in sync, including the length of the firm name and width of the plaque. I was glad it worked so well for Mr. Sweet's plaque. - Danielle

Bob Huber first began using DuraBronze™ plaques for this purpose over 27 years ago, in 1986. This is his latest, mounted on the door of his suite in Simi Valley, California.

Everything came together beautifully for this plaque.

From the outstanding logo supplied by the Fitzsimmons firm, to the plaque being appropriately sized and proportioned around it, every element is in-balance and working perfectly to create a truly professional image.

Designs like these don't happen by accident. It took careful consideration by our Design Team to make sure every last detail, even down to the width of the border, was just right.

Change any of these details, and the impact wouldn't be the same. This is why it's so important to take the time to achieve complete balance, the hallmark of great plaque design.

Designer's Notes:

The design of the Fitzsimmons logo leaves a considerable amount of "white space" in the upper corners of the plaque. Some people may resist having open areas like this. However, when designed correctly, this type of white space will actually enhance the overall impression a plaque makes. - Lisa
