Branding

Make your Lectern Unmistakably Yours

Podion offers flexible branding options to suit every venue, event and identity.

Logo Options

Vinyl Wraps: Full-panel wraps allow you to apply large-format logos, graphics or textures across the lectern. Easy to remove or replace, they also give you the flexibility to restyle the lectern at any time.
Vinyl Print: Your logo is printed on a durable vinyl film and applied directly to the logo panel. Delivers vibrant colour, clean edges and a smooth, integrated finish.
Magnetic Signage: Magnet-backed logo panels attach directly to the lectern’s branding area, allowing fast, reusable signage changes for different presenters, sponsors, or events - without tools or downtime.
Acrylic Print: Your artwork is printed behind a clear acrylic panel for a glossy, premium look that adds depth and clarity.
3D Laser Cut: Logos are precision-cut from metal or acrylic and mounted to the panel, creating a bold, raised three-dimensional effect with strong on-camera visibility.

Timber-Finish Wraps

Apply a realistic timber-finish vinyl wrap to the front panels and column for a warm, contemporary aesthetic.

The wrap delivers durable surface protection and can be removed or replaced with ease - allowing rapid updates or restyling without affecting the lectern's original finish.
