How do you display a bunch of logos?

Seeking a nice, professional-looking option for displaying 20-40 client logos on a wall. Expect regular rotation in and out.
We currently have about 20 clients, and will continue to add new clients (and move current client logos to "alumni" status on the same wall). But we can't seem to find a good solution that will (a) look professional, and (b) be flexible for adding and rotating companies on a pretty regular basis.
Originally we had a grid of these stand-off acrylic wall frames and just printed the logos on photo paper and installed them, but it looked pretty low-budget. We love the idea of a big glass panel with frosted-vinyl versions of the logos, but those are very hard to move around, and can only be scaled down so far. Plus, big glass panels get really hard to find above a certain size.
Thanks!

A friend of mine has large velcro dots glued to wall, and the logos are printed on flute board or similar so they stand out a bit from the surface. Very hot-swappable as companies move in and out.

Vinyl decals are most likely the solution you're looking for -- and you can totally get a frosted-glass look with vinyl decal + acrylic sheets! Print the logo as a frosted-glass vinyl decal (might run you anywhere from $5-20 per logo, depending on size, whether you pack the logos in, whether you print them standard or reverse, etc.). Mount the decals to acrylic sheets in whatever size you prefer. For instance, these ones are 8"x8" for $2.50 each; you can find many other options online. Mount to the wall with stand-off screws, on a picture ledge, or however else you'd like. I just saw a really nice example from Launch Fishers, an incubator hub where they have a similar logo wall. They created several parallel rails, spaced evenly apart, which allowed them to slide logo boards in and out with ease.
Other options:
- You can use that same vinyl decal material on many different substrates -- corrugated plastic blanks, sanded/sealed plywood, sheets of metal, mirrored or colored acrylic, etc.
- If vinyl decals are too pricey for you, you can also print onto photo-quality paper and mount that onto self-adhesive foam board or gator board. This can look good if printed on high-quality stock and mounted with care.

A store near me has a donor/investor wall, and theyre all laser engraved in wood (the store's focus is zero packaging/sustainability, so it fits). It looks fantastic!
