Sydney project · Reception and door signage package
GEMCON's Sydney office needed a reception wall that carries the brand the moment you walk in, and a front door that reads the company name and suite from the corridor. The package pairs a run of white 3D reception letters with a painted logo icon and a digitally printed front-door window graphic — surveyed, built in our own workshop and installed to the plaster wall and glazed entry.
Sydney office · White 3D reception lettering with a painted logo icon and a printed front-door window graphic
The reception letters, front and centre
The GEMCON name sits across the reception wall as white 3D letters with a painted blue logo icon, set out and fixed so the brand reads cleanly the moment you step into the suite.
The project in detail
Three photographs across the finished GEMCON entry and the workshop build — the 3D letters installed on the reception wall, the same white letters and painted icon before install, and the digitally printed graphic on the glazed front door.
Photographs are of GEMCON's own signage. The contact line printed on the door is GEMCON's published business detail, shown here only as it appears on the installed graphic.
Project at a glance
This was one office entry with two distinct pieces of work in it. Each element sits on a different surface, carries the brand a different way and has its own fixing and finish decisions.
The GEMCON name reads across the reception wall as solid dimensional letters cut from 10 mm sheet, finished white with a painted blue logo icon, so the mark stands proud of the textured plaster with a clean edge and a soft shadow.
The angular G icon is built as its own dimensional piece and painted in the brand blue, sitting alongside the white wordmark so the lock-up matches the corporate identity rather than a flat printed version.
The glazed front door carries a digitally printed cut-out graphic with the logo, suite and contact line, applied to the outside of the glass so the entry is identified from the corridor without closing the reception off behind it.
How it came together
A textured plaster reception wall and a glazed entry door set the constraints before anything is drawn: the wall width, the sightline from the door and the glazed panel size are all fixed. The job worked from a site survey through approved artwork to a staged install.
The reception wall, the glazed door panel and the approach from the corridor were measured and photographed so the letter run and the window graphic could be set to the real entry rather than to a drawing.
The 3D letter lock-up, the painted icon colour and the door graphic were mocked up to scale and signed off before any material was cut, so the letter size, the icon colour and the door layout were agreed together.
The letters and the icon were cut from 10 mm sheet and finished — white letters with the icon painted in the brand blue — and the door graphic was digitally printed on adhesive vinyl with a matte laminate, all built in our own workshop.
The 3D letters and icon were set out and fixed to the plaster with double-sided tape and silicone, and the printed cut-out graphic was applied to the outside of the glazed door on site.
Project anatomy
An office-entry package like this pulls two material decisions together — dimensional letters that carry the name in the round, and a printed film that turns the glazed door into a clear identifier.
Solid dimensional letters cut from 10 mm sheet, finished white with a painted blue logo icon, so the wordmark and the icon read as one clean lock-up standing proud of the reception wall.

Explore office signageMaterial decision
A reception wall is the first thing a visitor reads, so the brand earns its position by standing proud of the surface rather than sitting flat on it. Building the name as solid 10 mm letters with a separately painted icon gives the wordmark real depth, a clean edge and a soft shadow on the textured plaster — a presence a printed decal cannot match.
Letter depth, fixing method and icon colour should be set against each wall finish and lighting condition rather than carried across from this project.
Pricing context
Packages like this are quoted line by line against the surveyed entry. We explain the cost drivers without publishing GEMCON's commercial terms.
Send photographs of the reception wall and entry door, approximate dimensions and vector artwork for a current indication. Final pricing follows the confirmed survey.

Reception walls and glazed doors vary between fit-outs, so the survey drives the specification.
Sydney proof · National capability
This case study documents a single GEMCON office in Sydney. For a business fitting out several offices or display suites, Platinum Signs can hold one approved letter, icon and door-graphic standard across the portfolio while surveying each entry for wall finish, glazing size and install access.
Prepare a useful brief
A clear first brief lets the team assess sign type, finish, fixing and install sequencing before confirming scope and price.
Include the reception wall, the entry door and the approach from the corridor, with enough context to see the wall finish and the glazed panel size.
Note which elements you want — reception letters, a painted icon, door graphics — and any approximate sizes or positions you already have in mind.
Supply the approved logo files, brand colours and any guidance on the lock-up, spacing or minimum sizes.
Confirm building and corridor access, any tenancy or landlord requirements, permitted install hours and whether any existing signage must come down first.
