Sign Design

Because a storefront sign is frequently the first thing that your client will see, it’s your best chance to make a great first impression.  Having a well-designed sign that is inviting and makes your customer feel confident buying from you is essential.   Hence, creating successful business sign design becomes both an art and a science.   Certain colors tend to be more attractive to the eye than others.  Letter height, sign height, and viewing distance are all factors that will determine how well your sign will be seen.  You can illuminate your sign in many ways, such as frontlit or backlit channel letters, illuminated cabinet signs, or even directed sign lighting.   Consideration should be given to where your sign will be located and the traffic patterns nearby.  A commercial sign should be designed with a purpose in mind for its longevity, usefulness, and the local permitting regulations.
