Silicone seams between glass panels

[Jarvis]

Hi! I've got a corporate customer who has several floor to ceiling glass panels facing their boardroom. They wanted to put their logo in vinyl on the glass, which will require crossing the silicone seams between the glass panels. Problem is the vinyl doesn't stick to silicone, and it looks terrible at the seams. Has anyone come up with a solution to adhering vinyl to silicone? Is there something you can treat the silicone with? The only other solution I guess will be to cut their logo out of wood, metal or acrylic- but that would still require a vinyl layer on the glass to hide the double face tape- which might still look bad from inside the office. Any suggestions appreciated!!

if out of vinyl trim it out in the gaps, if in dimensional use the vinyl backer but make sure the vinyl backer is the same colour as the back of the sign (paint the back of the sign if need be). That's what we always do. Looks great and professional.

Nothing I know of will reliably stick to the silicone. Normally the gap between glass panels is not very large.

Ok, haven't experienced this exact problem, but......sometimes an engineering or installation problem can be solved at the design stage! I'm pretty sure they KNOW where they work, so instead of one huge logo bridging this gap, perhaps a 'wallpaper' of repeating smaller logos, at an angle, different muted colours or printed on etch can create a background that's esthetically pleasing.
but yeah, that's a tough one..... when the big shots are going to have their noses pressed right up to it. good luck!
