Get a few ideas on how logos and lettering can be positioned on wrestling mats. Each of these layouts can be customized and the addition of lettering or logos can be added. These are only the common mat configurations. Keep in mind how many pieces your mat will be cut into (One-Piece, 2 sections, 3 sections, etc.) and how it effects the positions of logos and lettering.
Oversized 30' Logo
layout 02-01A
Logo
Grab their attention with an oversized 30' Logo. Most logos go in the center of the mat. Some logos will fill the entire Wrestling Area and others won't based on their proportions. Depending on the logo, the cuts of the mats can be vertical or horizontal.
Lettering
Lettering is shown centered across the top and bottom edges. Lettering and logos are facing the same direction. If lettering is across the top and bottom, the cuts of the mat should be horizontal.

With a logo this size on a mat, a one-piece is preferred. However, many 30' logos that we have applied have been in 3 sections.
