Custom Monogram of Vinyl Lettering

One thing people ask us about on a consistent basis is whether or not we can do custom monograms using vinyl lettering. Vinyl wall lettering monograms can add a lot of beauty to any room in your home.  If you’re not familiar with what a monogram is, amonogram is a motif made by overlapping or combining one or more letters form one symbol. Monograms are often made by combining the initials of an individual or a company, used as recognizable symbols or logos. A series of uncombined initials is properly referred to as a cypher and is not a monogram, although ciphers are frequently referred to as monograms.  An individual’s monogram is often a very fancy piece of art for adorning luggage, clothing, and so forth. Monograms of the names of monarchs are used as part of the insignia of public organizations in kingdoms, such as on police badges.

However, monograms, in the sense that we refer to them, are letters, that generally represent someone’s initials, specifically in regard to their last name.  We have made custom monograms for people to cover a wide variety of uses, including installing vinyl letters monograms on:

"Oh, the places you'll go." - Wall Lettering

One of the most utilized rooms of our home is our upstairs playroom.  With three kids, under the age of 6, it’s no wonder the room is so well used.  Because my kids spend so much time in there, I wanted to create a great atmosphere, and did so with wall words made from vinyl lettering.

I started with a theme.  I chose the theme “world traveler.”  I got a large map, had my husband build a frame for it, which I painted black.  Next, I purchased 4 inexpensive clocks from Target.  Above the clocks in vinyl letters I put the words London, Tokyo, Paris, Provo – and set the clocks to reflect the time of each of the places.

Next, I found some fun quotes about travel, like one from Dr. Suess “Oh, the places you’ll go” etc.  These quotes I did in coordinating colors, and randomly affixed them to the walls with the same wall letters.  We ended up with a fun playroom that my kids absolutely LOVE!

Vinyl letters can be used by installing vinyl wall lettering that features favorite quotes, shapes, or even an elegant boarder around the top of the room. Before you know what kind of wall letters you’ll want to install you’ll first need to know the following:

Style

First determine the style or “look” you’re going for. This will help determine not only the saying, but the size, the font, and any flourishes, or decorative emblems you’ll use. Knowing the look you’re trying to create can help you decide if your lettering should be elegant, chic, fun, or modern.

Color
