Sign Design
Signage is one of the first and
most important considerations in identifying, promoting and advertising
a business. It is the permanent, continual message to the public about
who you are and what you have to offer. Signs create a mood and a
feeling, as well as the identity of a business, attracting customers for
a closer look. If coordinated with the architectural surroundings
... buildings and landscape ..., it can make the property, store, office
park or other facility much more appealing to potential customers and to
the community.
Our concept of sign design is to keep signage clean, minimal and to the
point, to avoid confusion about the intended message, by trying to
explain too much. We believe a good rule is to simplify the copy.
For maximum impact and appeal, signs at front entrances, in particular,
should be kept at a minimum number and architecturally pleasing.
Distance is a key factor in choosing a typestyle and letter size. After
that is decided, the size of the sign face and support structure can
then be calculated.
Colors and their combinations and contrast also play a significant part
in visual impact and legibility. Whether using dark background colors
with lighter lettering, or light backgrounds with dark letters, the
greater the contrast, the better the visibility.
We work closely with our clients to assist with all of these important
determinations, surveying the location and acquiring color
information and our clients' input regarding tastes and
preferences.
Estimating costs and designing your signs can be greatly simplified if
you will select examples from this website and let us know your
preferences.

Dimensional
Letters
No matter what type of building or business, Dimensional Letters add class & distinction.
Dimensional Letters are desirable because they stand out,
creating depth to your sign. A variety of standard, factory-painted
colors are available, or customized matching of colors can be done on
request.
Dimensional Letters are individually created from high-impact
plastics or various metals and may be mounted to many surfaces, such as
existing building walls or monuments or to durable cabinet or monument
structures that we manufacture, also made from high impact plastics or
metals.
