It shows symbolic and constructive meaning.

Second, logos and signs are a kind of information conveying medium. It has the function of ADVERTISEMENT. 

Third, logos and signs perform industrial functions and roles. In today's high-tech modern automated society. With the demands of social construction, the sign manufacturing industry will have its own position. Signage Signage Signage with a larger scale basically meets all the needs of today's high-tech modern automation society. Therefore, we cannot call the signage manufacturing industry a simple labor industry. 

Classification of logo and sign 

According to environmental conditions, identification signs can be divided into two categories: indoor and outdoor. Indoor signage mainly refers to all kinds of signage on the exterior wall of the building and inside the building, mainly including: 

• House Sign;

• Background wall sign. 

In terms of materials, there are mainly divided in three:

Non-metallic materials:

• Acrylic
• Two-Color Board
• Pvc
• Plexiglass
• Wood 

Metal material:

• Stainless Steel
• Iron
• Zinc Alloy
• Brass
• Aluminum Plate 

Ceramic material:

• Pure Ceramic
• Metal Ceramic Composite Glass

From the structural division, there are mainly: 

• personalized design;
• ordinary aluminum alloy profiles;
• special aluminum alloy profiles.

Relatively speaking, the structure of indoor signage is relatively simple, and the materials and craftsmanship are more exquisite.

Outdoor signboards mainly refer to all kinds of signboards in the external environment of buildings, including:

1) Building Name Plates

2) Building Guide Plates

Ⅱ. Laser engraving, cutting and marking logo & sign.

Use laser machine to process a variety of different materials to meet your brand needs!

1. Marking logo and sign on metal

Laser marking machine is both energy-saving and efficient, and it is the best choice for metal sign processing.

First, let's take a look at what is a metal sign. Metal signs are produced by different production processes such as polishing, engraving, stamping, die-casting, etching, printing, electroplating, etc. They are widely used in auto parts, electronic communications, process processing, pvc pipes and other fields. The production of metal signs is mainly made of stainless steel and copper. , Iron, aluminum, zinc alloy, titanium and other raw materials, the products include nameplates, badges, badges, medals, commemorative medals, commemorative coins, craft signs, hang tags and other metal signs. 

Parameter setting takes the stainless steel marked by Monport laser 20W fiber laser marking machine as an example:

Laser marking machine solves the daily processing of metal signs with different patterns and shapes. It has the characteristics of high precision and high-speed processing. It not only solves the practical problems, but also reduces the production cost and creates higher profit value for customers. Nowadays, the application of laser marking machine for metal sign has not only become a trend, but also a demand.

2. Laser engraved wooden signs

The most suitable for making wooden signs is laser equipment. Dark cutting edges and brown or white engraved graphics are special design elements for wooden products. A professional  CO2 laser cutting machine is behind an exquisite wooden sign.

Because wood laser engraving does not need to cut through the work piece, the energy required is relatively small. Laser engraving is a non-contact processing method. Compared with traditional mechanical processing methods, laser engraving has the advantages of no sawdust pollution, no tool wear, no need to change tools, and no noise pollution (very low noise). The focusing lens of the laser cutting head focuses the laser to a small spot, the diameter of the spot is generally 0.1 to 0.5 mm. The focus of the laser beam is located near the surface to be processed to melt or vaporize the processed material. At the same time, the airflow coaxial with the beam is ejected from the cutting head, blowing out the melted or vaporized material from the bottom of the incision.

3. Laser cutting acrylic sign

Acrylic sign, also known as plexiglass sign, is a popular glass substitute, which is suitable for indoor and outdoor in all industries. These signs are very durable, UV resistant and modern in appearance. This material is highly sought after because of its versatility and color fastness. Acrylic has anti yellowing properties and transparency that can be restored by polishing. It is waterproof, fade resistant and weather resistant.           

This material is widely used in the signage industry to create custom, three-dimensional, luminous and printed acrylic signage. Also known as plexiglass signs, custom acrylic signs provide a variety of styles.
