Memorial plaque design

Memorial Plaque Design
for the Right Setting.

A reception plaque, a desk nameplate and an external memorial plaque may all carry engraved wording, but they are not the same product. Viewing distance, fixing position, weather exposure, the amount of information and the surrounding material all change what works well.

Furnells can work from supplied wording, logos, sketches or photographs and help shape the layout around the finished object rather than treating every job like a standard catalogue plate.

That approach is particularly useful where the design is visually busy or where the plaque needs to feel like part of the building, desk, memorial or presentation piece rather than something added as an afterthought.
