Contour Logos and Logo Boxes
A contour logo or logo box is a three-dimensional sign designed to showcase your brand’s logo or emblem. Unlike traditional flat signs, this type of signage can be contoured to the shape of the logo itself, or as a basic shape, like a circle or square, that can also include text and other information.

How They're Made
Ensuring the Quality of Channel Letter Logo Boxes
To build contour logos, we create the overall shape outline and affix with either a colored vinyl application or a digital print for complete customization of a company logo. We make channel letter contour logo boxes up to 25 square feet, because the quality deteriorates above that size. Logos larger than 25 square feet should be made with extrusions or flexible faces, of which DSW does not manufacture.
