A reception lock-up
The red arriba wordmark and its grey tagline were built as dimensional acrylic letters, around 1500 mm wide, and fixed to the reception wall as a single aligned lock-up rather than as separate pieces.
Sydney CBD project · Workplace signage package
A reception lock-up, a wall statement and five values on glass.
Arriba Group's Sydney office needed three pieces of branding working together across the floor: a dimensional lock-up that carries reception, a short cut vinyl statement in the lounge, and the company's five values set out on clear acrylic. The package was surveyed, built in our own workshop and installed on site.

The reception lock-up
The Arriba Group lock-up was built as dimensional acrylic letters — the red wordmark and the grey tagline set out together and fixed flush to the reception wall so the whole lock-up reads as one clean line.

Project at a glance
One lock-up, one statement, five values panels.
This was a small package with three distinct problems in it. Each element sat on a different wall, took a different substrate and had its own setting-out to solve.
A wall statement
In the lounge, the line 'Empowering lives together' was applied as contour-cut vinyl, around 2000 mm across, so only the words sit on the paint with no visible background around them.
Five values on clear acrylic
The group's five values — Customer-focused, People-passionate, Quality-orientated, Innovation-driven and Dynamic and Agile — were set out on individual clear acrylic panels floated off the wall on silver standoffs.
How it came together
Survey the walls first, then produce to what is actually there.
Three elements on three walls means three separate set-outs: the reception line, the lounge statement and the values grid all have to sit level and centred on surfaces that are fixed before we arrive. The job started with a site inspection and worked from those measurements.
Read the four delivery stages
- 1
Inspect the floor
The reception wall, the lounge wall and the values wall were measured and photographed on site so each element could be set out to the real surface rather than to a floor plan.
- 2
Approve the artwork
The reception lock-up, the wall statement and the five value panels were mocked up and signed off together before anything was produced, so the brand colours and the values wording were locked in one pass.
- 3
Build it in our workshop
The letters were cut from 10 mm acrylic and face UV-printed in the brand colours; the statement was digitally printed on self-adhesive vinyl with a matte laminate and contour cut; the five panels were UV printed on 6 mm clear acrylic and laser cut with polished edges.
- 4
Install on site
The reception letters were set out and fixed with double-sided tape and silicone, the vinyl statement was applied to the lounge wall, and the five acrylic panels were mounted on silver standoffs to a level grid.
Project anatomy
Three substrates, chosen for three different jobs.
A reception line, a wall statement and a values grid each ask for a different decision. One needs depth and a colour that is part of the letter; one needs to disappear into the wall; one needs to read as glass.
10 mm acrylic, face UV-printed
The reception letters are cut from 10 mm acrylic and printed on the face in the brand's red and grey, so the colour is part of the letter rather than a vinyl overlay that can lift at the edges.
Explore acrylic signsSelf-adhesive vinyl, matte laminate
The lounge statement is digitally printed on self-adhesive vinyl, laminated matte and contour cut, so only the words sit on the paint with no visible carrier and no flare under the downlights.
Explore wall graphics6 mm clear acrylic on standoffs
Each values panel is 6 mm clear acrylic with laser-cut polished edges, held off the wall on four silver barrel standoffs so the panel casts a shadow and reads as glass.
Explore office signageMaterial decision
Why float the values panels on standoffs?
Standoff-mounting lifts each clear acrylic panel a few millimetres off the wall. The shadow line that creates is what makes 6 mm acrylic read as glass rather than as a sticker — and it lets the five panels sit as a considered grid instead of flat tiles.
Standoff centres and panel size should be matched to the wall and the artwork on each project rather than carried across from this one.
Pricing context
What shapes the price of an office signage package?
Packages like this are quoted line by line against the surveyed site. We explain the cost drivers without publishing Arriba Group's commercial terms.
- The mix of formats — dimensional letters, cut vinyl and standoff-mounted acrylic each carry different production time
- Letter depth, panel count and how much colour and detail the artwork carries
- Wall type and finish, which drive the fixing method and any make-good
- Building access, install hours and the number of separate site visits
Send photographs of the walls, approximate dimensions and vector artwork for a current indication. Final pricing follows the confirmed survey.
Technical detail

The main story stays visual and easy to scan. Open these sections for the delivered scope, the evidence in the photography and the specifications that still need a site-specific review.
The Trello record and owned project photographs support the following Sydney office-signage scope.
- Site inspection of the reception, lounge and values walls
- One dimensional acrylic reception lock-up, around 1500 mm wide
- One cut vinyl wall statement, around 2000 mm wide
- Five clear acrylic values panels on silver standoffs
- Installation of all three elements on site
These details belong to this Arriba Group project and should not be transferred to another site without review.
- Reception letters: 10 mm acrylic, face UV-printed in brand colours
- Reception lock-up: around 1500 mm wide, fixed with tape and silicone
- Wall statement: self-adhesive vinyl, matte lamination, contour cut, around 2000 mm wide
- Values panels: 6 mm clear acrylic, UV printed, laser cut and polished
- Panel fixing: four silver barrel standoffs per panel, five panels
Walls, finishes and artwork vary between tenancies, so the survey drives the specification.
- Wall construction and finish for the letter and standoff fixings
- Final wording, values list and tagline before artwork is cut
- Standoff centres and the setting-out of any panel grid
- Make-good expectations if signage is later removed
- Building access, induction and permitted install hours

Include the reception wall, any statement wall and the wall for values or wayfinding panels, with enough context to see the surrounding finishes.
- 2
Final wording and values
Send the reception lock-up, any tagline, and the final list of values or panel content so the artwork can be set out once.

Supply the approved logo files, brand colours and any guidance on lock-ups, spacing or minimum sizes.
- 4
Access and timing
Confirm building access, induction requirements, permitted install hours and whether any existing signage must come down first.
Frequently asked questions
Questions this project usually raises.
Practical answers about dimensional letters, cut vinyl statements, standoff-mounted acrylic, pricing inputs and multi-office delivery.
A dimensional acrylic reception lock-up around 1500 mm wide, a cut self-adhesive vinyl wall statement around 2000 mm wide, and five clear acrylic values panels mounted on silver standoffs.
The letters are cut from 10 mm acrylic and fixed to the reception wall with a combination of double-sided tape and silicone, set out as one lock-up so the wordmark and tagline stay aligned.
Silver barrel standoffs hold each panel a few millimetres off the wall. The shadow that creates makes 6 mm clear acrylic read as glass, and it keeps the five panels sitting as an even grid.
Cut vinyl leaves only the shapes of the letters on the wall with no visible background, which suits a short statement like this one. A printed graphic carries a full printed field and suits photographic or full-colour artwork instead.
Price depends on the mix of formats, the letter depth and panel count, the wall finishes and fixings, and how many site visits the install needs. Send photographs, your wording and vector artwork for a current indication.
