Two Great Mats, Two Very Different Jobs

When you start shopping for a custom logo mat, the sheer number of options can feel overwhelming. Two of the most popular styles carried by Logo Floor Mats are the ColorStar Impressions HD and the SuperScrape Impressions. At a glance, both put your logo at the entrance of your facility. Look closer, though, and they are built for very different environments and very different goals.

Understanding those differences before you order saves you money, speeds up your decision, and makes sure your mat actually performs the way you need it to.

What Is the ColorStar Impressions HD?

The ColorStar Impressions HD is a carpet-surface logo mat. It is designed primarily for indoor use, and it excels at one thing above everything else: vivid, sharp color reproduction. If your brand uses a complex logo with gradients, multiple colors, or fine detail, the ColorStar surface can capture it in a way that a scraper mat simply cannot.

This mat is a go-to choice for:

  • Office lobbies and corporate reception areas
  • Apartment community entrances and leasing offices
  • Hotel and resort common areas
  • Retail storefronts where visual brand impact matters
  • Schools and universities that want school spirit on display

The carpet construction also means the mat traps and absorbs moisture and fine dirt particles, keeping hard floors cleaner and reducing slip hazards. Logo Floor Mats notes that most indoor logo mats like the ColorStar ship in five business days, so you are not waiting long once your artwork is approved.

ColorStar and Your Brand Image

Think of the ColorStar as the front window of your brand. Visitors see it before they see your receptionist, your signage, or your products. A full-color, high-definition logo mat sends an immediate signal that your organization takes its identity seriously. That impression costs a fraction of what a lobby renovation or new sign would run, which is exactly why Logo Floor Mats describes logo mats as a low-cost sales and marketing tool.

What Is the SuperScrape Impressions?

The SuperScrape Impressions is a rubber scraper mat. Where the ColorStar is soft underfoot and focused on color, the SuperScrape is tough, aggressive, and built to strip heavy debris from shoes before it gets tracked inside. The textured rubber surface works like a grid of tiny squeegees, scraping mud, gravel, and moisture off boot soles with every step.

This mat is the right call for:

  • Exterior entrances that face heavy foot traffic
  • Facilities with loading docks, warehouses, or workshop areas
  • Construction sites or job trailers
  • Military installations and government facilities
  • Any entrance where people arrive with genuinely dirty footwear

The SuperScrape is practically indestructible in day-to-day commercial use. Rubber holds up to weather, UV exposure, and heavy rolling traffic in ways that carpet-based mats are not designed to handle.

Logo Clarity on the SuperScrape

One fair question is whether your logo will look as sharp on a rubber surface as it does on a carpet surface. The honest answer is that the SuperScrape does a solid job of displaying your logo, but intricate, multi-color artwork will generally be more vivid on a ColorStar mat. If your logo is a single-color design or a simple two-color mark, the SuperScrape renders it cleanly and professionally. If your logo is complex, you may want to use the SuperScrape at the exterior entrance and a ColorStar mat in the lobby just inside the door.

Side-by-Side Comparison

Here is a quick breakdown of where each mat tends to win:

ColorStar Impressions HD

  • Best location: Indoor lobbies, reception areas, leasing offices
  • Surface: Carpet fiber
  • Color capability: Full color, high definition, fine detail
  • Primary function: Moisture and fine debris absorption, brand display
  • Typical use cases: Corporate, hospitality, multifamily housing, retail

SuperScrape Impressions

  • Best location: Exterior entries, high-abuse indoor zones
  • Surface: Rubber
  • Color capability: Good for simpler logos, less suited for complex artwork
  • Primary function: Heavy-duty scraping of mud, gravel, and coarse debris
  • Typical use cases: Military, government, industrial, warehouses, outdoor events

Can You Use Both in the Same Facility?

Absolutely, and many savvy facilities managers do exactly that. A layered mat strategy places a SuperScrape at the exterior door to handle the first wave of dirt and moisture, then a ColorStar just inside the building to capture what is left and greet visitors with a clean, polished brand impression.

Resort developers and apartment community managers ordering in volume have found this pairing especially effective. A customer from Gatlinburg Falls noted that across four resorts and roughly 200 logo floor mat orders, Logo Floor Mats consistently made the ordering process simple and the delivery time exceptional. Ordering both styles at once for multiple locations is a common and well-supported workflow.

Working with M+A Matting Makes a Difference

Both the ColorStar and SuperScrape lines are produced in partnership with M+A Matting, the largest manufacturer of commercial rubber-backed mats in the world. Logo Floor Mats is proud to be one of their largest direct logo floor mat providers. That relationship translates to consistent quality, reliable production timelines, and the backing of a manufacturer that supplies the commercial laundry and rental mat industry at massive scale.

For buyers who have been burned by inconsistent quality or slow turnarounds from other vendors, that supply chain credibility matters. Logo Floor Mats has been doing this since 1996, and the product quality reflects nearly three decades of working with a world-class manufacturing partner.

Making the Right Choice for Your Space

If you are still on the fence, ask yourself two questions. First, where will the mat live, indoors or outdoors, in a polished lobby or at a gritty exterior entrance? Second, how complex is your logo, and how important is color accuracy to your brand presentation?

Indoor space with a detailed logo: ColorStar Impressions HD.
Outdoor or heavy-duty entrance with a simpler mark: SuperScrape Impressions.
Both situations at the same facility: order one of each and cover all your bases.

Logo Floor Mats makes it easy to explore both options, get your artwork reviewed, and place an order without the back-and-forth frustration that plagues so many custom product purchases. Head to logofloormats.com to search the logo database of 3.5 million logos or start a custom order today.
