Commercial Signage
Have you ever considered that one of the initial (and crucial) investments a business can make is in their building or shop front signage? Exterior signs, including commercial ones, are often more important than you might believe! If the aim is to expand your clientele and boost your profits, expertly crafted and appealing commercial signs can make it happen.
Having an eye-catching sign can attract the attention of your customers, clearly showing them who you are and enticing them to come and interact with your business. The right sign and its custom design will leave a lasting impression, helping people to remember your brand and recommend it to others, effectively doing your advertising for you! Whether you’re interested in exterior signage, vehicle wraps, or anything in between to increase your visibility, commercial signage is for you.
Is Commercial Signage Essential for My Business?
In the world of business, many tasks demand your attention. While you’ve perfected daily operations and financial strategies, you might be surprised to realize the importance of signage on your to-do list.
Signage in the commercial realm spans a wide range – from outside banners to inside decor, from static posts to mobile advertisements, and everything in between. If someone’s searching for signs for a business, a government building, or any commercial setting, signs guide and inform. Ensuring accurate and effective signage is key!
Consider the case of monument signs: their dimensions and positioning should effectively highlight a business’s location and its offerings, ensuring efficient traffic direction. Conversely, vehicle wraps serve as mobile advertisements, requiring a tailored design strategy. Custom-made signs are key to grabbing attention in advertising, often being a determining factor in a company’s success.
Types of Commercial Signage
Commercial signage is far from a catch-all, one-size-fits-all approach for every business. Depending on what your company does and the message you want to convey, graphic designers work on creating exactly what you want to communicate with your signage so that visitors know exactly what they’ll be getting.
Illuminated Signage
Want your brand to shine bright? Signage that’s illuminated is your answer, especially in conditions where natural light is scarce or during nighttime. It attracts attention and uses a combination of lighting solutions – LEDs, neon, and fluorescents – to guarantee continuous advertising for storefronts and other low-visibility spots.
Non-Illuminated Signage
Signage without lighting, known as non-illuminated, leans on natural or reflected light to be seen. These are particularly apt for messages meant for daytime viewing and are usually more pocket-friendly than their illuminated counterparts.
LED Signage
LED displays, leveraging the luminescence of light-emitting diodes, are versatile for inside and outside use. They’re designed to present both graphics and text, ensuring visibility round the clock. Notably, these LED installations are energy-conserving and environmentally considerate, resonating positively with viewers.
Dimensional Signage
Known by names like 3D signage or elevated lettering, dimensional signage offers a step above the conventional flat signs by introducing depth and texture. It carries a commanding visual presence, exuding professionalism and elegance, making it a favorite for business storefronts, exterior building signs, and interiors.
Way-Finding Signage
Being aware of your destination is different from navigating unfamiliar terrains. Way-finding signage steps in to offer clear pathways both indoors and outdoors. Commonly found in places like airports, hospitals, malls, and educational institutions, they also guide visitors outdoors to tourist spots, transit points, and other locations.
Monumental Signage
Marrying durability with architectural beauty, monumental signs command attention. Their design often incorporates features resonating with the surrounding landscape, lending a sense of splendor. These are typically positioned at the gates of private communities, business hubs, academic centers, administrative premises, and other significant spots.
ADA Signage
ADA signage aims to help people who are visually impaired to locate and make their way around places safely. This is typically done by incorporating Braille on signage so that it can be read both visually and through touch. These signs are often found in public buildings such as hospitals, schools, and libraries, as well as airports and other transportation hubs, hotels and resorts, and many commercial spaces.

Logo Creation
The power of a well-crafted logo in branding cannot be understated. It’s vital to ensure it mirrors the ethos and offerings of your business, offering a clear profile to your customers. This ensures your logo fortifies brand recognition and solidifies brand identity.
Branding
For a brand, its character, tone, values, and unique benefits become visible through effective branding. Navigating the competitive landscape can be challenging, yet standout branding can attract onlookers to a company’s sign and draw them in, paving the way for prospective business. Aligning the brand’s identity with the signage distinguishes it from the competition.
Signage Permitting
Signage permitting makes sure all signage is legally installed in accordance with local regulations and zoning ordinances. This process involves research and planning, consulting with authorities, the sign permit application, and review and approval. If necessary, it may also include modifications and resubmission. As signage needs to fit into many legal parameters, it’s crucial to obtain the necessary permissions before erecting any signage.
