Also—if you see building signage while you are out and about in Los Angeles that reminds you of these signs, chances are we made them, too. If you want to know more, simply contact us and tell us about the ones you saw during your outing. We’ll let you know if your hunch is correct.

Business Signs in Los Angeles

Los Angeles is a city with a rich history. From the movie stars that live here to the businesses that thrive, LA is a unique place. One of the things that make LA so special are the signs, and they have a long and storied history. They can be found everywhere, from big business districts to small mom-and-pop shops. Here, we take a look at some of our favorite signs we’ve created and mounted for companies in Los Angeles.

Examples of Business Signs We’ve Made Throughout Los Angeles County – West Hollywood, Beverly Hills

Dave’s Signs works with designers and architects to bring eye-catching and unique signage to businesses in the Los Angeles County area. Creations we’ve made range from high-end retail signage to unique and custom build projects to more simple and straightforward designs. We’ve worked with some of the biggest names in LA, all of which have helped contribute to the unique landscape that is Los Angeles.

Here are the sign types we make, along with a few of our favorite signs we’ve made for our customers in Los Angeles.

Apartment Signs

One of our favorite things to do is create unique apartment signs that help give each complex its own identity while also advertising its availability. We’ve made everything from simple and sleek designs to more intricate and detailed ones. No matter what the style, we always make sure that the signs we create are high quality and will last for years to come.

Lido Apartments Neon Sign Restoration, Hollywood, CA

We were thrilled when our sign company got the call to help restore the Lido Apartments neon sign. We can rent the equipment and other necessary resources to get your sign up on the side or top of a tall building. Dave’s Signs often fabricates and installs signage in hard-to-get-to places. We also work to get any Los Angeles sign permits that are needed for our customer’s new signs.

NoHo Centre Apartments, North Hollywood, CA

This sign we made for the luxurious NoHo Centre Apartments in Valley Village is monument-styled. It features bold colors in their brand’s blue and green. The sign is easy to read and makes a big impact – especially at night.

Illuminated Signs

There’s something about illuminated signs that just make them stand out. Maybe it’s the way they catch your eye when you’re driving by or the way they light up a dark street. They are the ultimate in advertising, too, announcing your business’s presence 24/7 with their luminosity. Whatever the reason, we love making illuminated signs—we’ve made some fantastic ones for companies in Los Angeles.

Garry Marshall Theatre, Burbank, CA

For the Garry Marshall theatre, we chose illuminated lightbox signs to showcase the movie or play being shown at that venue. The colors we chose help make their business sign stand out, even against the bright lights of Burbank. We also created the neon marquis sign that compliments the entire aesthetic.

Monument Signs

Monument signs are a great way for a business to make a big impact without being too overwhelming. These visual signs are perfect for companies that want to make a statement. We’ve made monument signs for all sorts of businesses, from small shops to large corporations.

Dynamic Spectrum Business Park Los Angeles, CA

The Monument Sign we created for our Dynamic Spectrum customer in their business park is an example of a Directory Monument Sign. That means it is scalable, which comes in handy when the businesses that are coming and going need their panels installed or removed. If your property has companies that need their panels updated often, these are a perfect solution.

Private Suite LAX, Los Angeles, CA

Featuring a more static design is the Halo Lit Channel Letter Monument Sign that welcomes travelers coming and going from the Los Angeles International Airport. The private suites business offers luxurious amenities, and the glowing sign design captures this elegant mission.

Murals

Los Angeles is a city of vibrant murals, and we love being a part of that. We’ve worked with some amazing artists to create murals for customers all over LA. Whether it’s a small mural on the side of a building or a large one that spans an entire wall, we want to make sure that the mural is high quality and that the client is delighted with the results.

Pico Blvd Building in Santa Monica, CA

Santa Monica is a virtual arts and culture hub. The city houses more than 130+ street art muralswithin its eight neighborhoods, and they are a real feast for the eyes. Keeping with this theme, our sign company hand-painted this beautiful mural for Pico, SM. We think it is the ultimate in custom signs and that it really pops!

Restaurant Neon Signs

Neon signs are an LA staple and we love making them for our clients. There’s something about a bright and colorful neon sign that just makes us happy and fills us with nostalgia. We’ve made all sorts of gorgeous neon signs, especially for restaurants. Los Angeles is a foodie city and we love helping companies stand out with glowing, neon signs. We will bring your neon vision to life and attract customers to your establishment like a moth to a flame.

Sharky’s Woodfired Mexican Grill Restaurant Sign in Los Angeles, CA

One of the more recent neon sign projects our sign company completed was the one we did for Sharky’s Woodfired Mexican Grill. They wanted a bright and colorful business sign that would attract attention and elevate their restaurant. We think we accomplished that with this sharp-looking Neon Lit Interior Channel Letter Restaurant sign.

Smize Cream Ice Cream Parlor, Santa Monica, CA

The Smize Cream Ice Cream Parlor company used to operate the Santa Monica location shown here. They’vesince shut down, but we were so excited to make their Neon and Window Graphic Signs, and they turned out so darn cute! The kaleidoscope of neon colors is eye-catching and the total design is just too sweet.

Office Building Signs

Office buildings are a big part of the Los Angeles landscape and they have a professional appearance that needs to be matched with high-quality signage. We’ve made all sorts of office building signs, from small directory signs to large illuminated lobby signs to more complex wayfinding signage.

Our sign company makes exterior and interior office signs for Los Angeles firms. Take FocalPoint Partners, LLC, for example. Their green “focal point” logo and Dimensional Lettering are front-lit for a smooth, professional look.

Ispire Ducore Interior Signage, Venice, CA

Ispire Ducore offers high-end vaping products that use the latest technology for its products. This customer came to our sign company for a visual that would give their office lobby a luxurious look and feel and represent their brand. We used gold and white dimensional letters to make their office lobby signage look sophisticated against the brick wall facade in their lobby.

Shopping Mall Signs

Shopping malls are a big part of the Los Angeles landscape and they need high-quality outdoor signs to guide shoppers to their destination. We’ve made all sorts of shopping mall signs, from small directory signs to large illuminated directional signs. We make sure that all signs are up to code and look great for our shopping mall customers.

Bixby Point Shopping Mall Channel Letter Signs in Long Beach, CA

Long Beach has a buzzing shopping scene that blends urban sophistication with utter beach-town revelry. One of our newest shopping mall clients is the Bixby Point Shopping Mall in Long Beach. They came to us for a complete sign makeover, and we delivered with new, modern Channel Letter signs. The sign installation shows off the understated white colors of the lettering combined with natural shadowing from the sun, really stand out against the brick exterior of the mall, giving it a 3-D appearance.

Storefront Signs

Storefront signs are a brilliant way to attract attention to your business. They are front and center when shoppers walk up, so it’s important to make a good impression. We’ve made all sorts of storefront signs, from simple designs to more complex ones. No matter what the design, we will work with you to create a sign that is eye-catching and unique.

Mansour Fine Rugs Channel Letter Sign, West Hollywood, CA

There’s nothing that describes a sign shop better than the signs they have made that you know and love. We thought we’d put together a few posts that show you some of our favorite signs we’ve designed and mounted in specific cities around Ventura County and tell you a bit about the companies they represent. This city page highlights some of the best signage we’ve created for Ojai, California.

#1: Red Brick Plaza

This sturdy monument sign we made for Red Horse Plaza really captures the history of Ojai. The brick background brings to mind a time when most buildings were made from red bricks, an example of that era.

There is something mystical about stone structures, and this monument sign we made for the City of Ojai is no exception. Additionally, the design emphasizes the “Welcome to Ojai” text and focuses on the natural beauty found throughout the city.

#3: AJ Chinese Express

One of the popular restaurants in Ojai, AJ Chinese Express, is a family-owned and operated business. The font and delicate flowers on their exterior signage, like their food, is an elegant presentation. Channel Letter Signs like the one on the storefront is halo-lit too. The sign looks like it belongs with the rest of the building and its surroundings, as any well-designed signage should.

#4: Topa Mountain Winery

Ventura County wineries are iconic and are often featured in places like the Ojai Valley News. Dave’s Signs made this gorgeous Dimensional Letter sign for Topa Mountain Winery that stands out from all of them because it has an old-fashioned vintage charm to it with its rustic exterior and simple design.

The owners were looking for something unusual yet natural for their winery, which is why they chose this classic design. It is located in the heart of Ojai Valley and has been a popular destination for wine lovers since it opened.

#5: Bali Blue Furniture Lounge

Remember the Bali Blue Furniture Lounge? Sadly it, and this neon sign doesn’t exist anymore (sigh). However, during its heyday, it was an iconic slice of Americana and idyllic Southern California experience. Who could forget sitting on the porch of the beautiful Bali Blue Furniture Lounge on Ventura Avenue in comfy furniture, while enjoying a cup of coffee and watching the world go by.

The blue neon sign that Dave’s Signs made for this establishment gives you that same iconic feeling with its bright colors and simple style.

#6: Westridge Market

This beautiful old-fashioned grocery store in Ojai has been a staple of the community since it first opened. Dave’s Signs created several nostalgic signs with Custom Graphics for their interior that captures the essence of the market and its long history. The aesthetic looks hand-painted, which fits well with the rustic essence of Westridge.

#7: Sander’s & Son’s Gelato

If you’re looking for a delicious treat while in Ojai, stop by Sanders & Son’s on Ojai Avenue and enjoy a cup of Italian artisan gelatos and sorbets made with fresh local ingredients.

Dave’s Signs fun window graphics will meet you as you go in the front door too. The golden font features the name and year they were founded, and the overall effect is eye-catching and inviting. The sign complements the fun and delicious experience on a hot summer day in Ojai perfectly!

#8: Ojai Mira Monte Apartments

Ojai Mira Monte Apartment homes offer studio, one, and two-bedroom options that offer views of the Ojai Valley. There is a strong sense of community there where families lounge by the pool or barbecue in their picnic area.

Dave’s Signs created this custom sign for the Peralta Real Estate Team that captures their playful and modern approach to real estate. The simple, refined style of the Dimensional Letter Sign fits well with the upscale properties they work with here in Ojai too.

You can see why Penalta chose Dave’s Signs to make their sign. Its simple yet sophisticated style makes it easy to distinguish from other real estate signs in the area. And that is what you want when your goal is to help people find their dream home.

#10. Ojai Majestic Oak and Wine Tasting

Tucked away in the heart of Ojai Valley, this family-owned and operated vineyard is a must-see destination for wine lovers. The vintage color palette, rustic style, and simple lettering give it an old-world charm that makes it fit perfectly in Ojai Valley.

It’s no secret that signage is an important aspect of commercial property. Whether you’re a large company or small business, it’s vital to your success that people can easily find your office suite. For this reason, we offer office suite signs as part of our services!

What are Office Suite Signs?

Office suite signs are plaques or other types of interior signage that are placed in a visible location on the office door or beside it to ensure they’re visible to everyone passing by. They bring artwork, information, branding, and more to the building’s interior. The business’s name, office suite number, department name, and other details are typically listed on the plaque.

Top Reasons You Need Office Suite Signage

Office suite signs are important for many reasons – here are just a few:

1. Professionalism – Building Confidence

A professionally-inspired indoor office sign impresses clients and also makes your staff feel like they are professionals too. This aspect will also show in the way they treat your customers.

2. Aesthetics that Enhance Your Brand

Custom office suite signs provide a uniform and professional look.  For example, a plexiglass sign with standoffs may compliment a contemporary office, whereas classic engraved signage could be a fit for a more traditional space. Also, they can complement and enhance almost any aesthetic, turning the drab interiors and bare walls of an office suite into something unique and vibrant.

3. Safety & ADA Compliance

Suite signs help promote workplace safety through better awareness of working locations by employees and visitors alike, as well as the location of exits, fire alarms, and emergency equipment.

In addition, there are benefits to keeping track of who is in which offices from a safety standpoint too. For instance, office suite signage allows you to easily identify which office someone is in if they don’t come to a meeting point during a real evacuation or drill.

4. Wayfinding Solutions

At the end of the day, every office is a place of business. Most office suites have several doors, making it easy for people to get lost – even if they are familiar with the building. For instance, if customers come in for a meeting, they can find the right conference room easily.

5. Save Money Especially When Changes Happen

Office suite signs are cost-effective and take up very little space; making them perfect for small to medium businesses. They reinforce your brand, while also presenting an inexpensive form of advertising for your company, which can increase exposure.

Lastly, when a new tenant comes in there are minimal costs for adding them since all you have to do is create a new plaque.

Maintenance 

For our maintenance services in Camarillo, we have a fleet of boom trucks to get to any hard-to-get-to areas. Common maintenance services we do include anything from replacing burnt-out bulbs to cleaning dirty signage, Here’s a little bit more about what these services entail:

• • Replacing burnt-out bulbs: Illuminated signage typically runs night and day, causing the bulbs to eventually burn out. Burnt-out bulbs in a sign can reflect on your business adversely, especially if the remaining word has nothing to do with your original message or is embarrassing. We can easily replace burnt-out lights in your illuminated signage.
  • Cleaning dirty signage: Interior and exterior signage are constantly exposed to grime and pollution. The smudging left behind can make lettering and logos hard to read. Additionally, dim bulbs may have lost their illumination. We’ll clean your signs, so they can regain their allure and get your business noticed once again.
  • Fixing dullness: Outside signs take a lot of abuse from the weather and other external elements. The result? Signs deteriorate and begin to look dull. We can repaint your signs or UV laminate them to shield them from the sun’s rays.

Neon Restoration 

Our professionals are also available for the restoration of neon and LED signs. We know how important it is for businesses such as movie theatres, restaurants, and hospitality industries to continue operating 24/7. Our team will give you a fast response, often on the same day

We understand the requirements of our national sign customers, and we have worked closely with large companies for many years. We also have an on-site neon facility staffed with an experienced, professional team of technicians.

Other Specialty Services

Other specialty services we offer (but are not limited to) include sign LED retrofit, parking lot light service, site surveys, and permit acquisition.

In addition to servicing local clients in Camarillo, Dave’s Signs also provides restoration, repair, and maintenance services to national companies that are working on projects in the greater Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and Ventura County areas.

Who Needs Custom Business Signs?

Establishments that use custom business signs include retail stores, convenience marts, car dealerships, shopping centers, and hotels.  You’ll find that we have an extensive portfolio of projects that range from local business owners who needed exterior signs, to property management companies who needed interior wayfinding signage, to national customers who needed extra visibility with tall pole signs.

Mexican restaurants, with their spicey and deliciously flavored foods, put us in a festive mood. Meanwhile, California has the highest number of Mexican Restaurants in the United States. In fact,  industry reports put the numbers at nearly 75,000 for 2021. With that much competition comes the need for commercial signage that sets you apart from the rest. However, what’s the best way to do this? To answer that, we’ve put together a guide of Mexican restaurant sign styles that help get your business noticed.

Channel Letter Signs – El Dorado

The legend of El Dorado and its treasures enticed the Spanish Conquistadors to come to Mexico and South America to find it. Likewise, diners today are lured to the popular El Dorado Mexican Restaurant by their densely packed menu of all the usual tasty suspects and the bold & gold channel letter sign on the building’s facade.

 Neon Restoration Sign – Pepe’s 

California has a rich history when it comes to Mexican restaurants and culture. Amazingly, several of these eating spots are still owned by descendants of the original owners. Unfortunately, as time passes by, these nostalgic and beautiful signs fall into disrepair. When they do, sign companies restore them to their original glory. The beautiful neon sign Dave Signs restored for Pepe’s is an excellent example of this.

Illuminated Sign – Beach House Tacos

The theme is sunny beaches and to-die-for tacos at Beach House Tacos in Ventura, CA. Additionally, beachgoers who wonder what good seafood and other fare await them inside are guided there by the bold, Illuminated Sign.  Barn lighting illuminates eye-catching dimensional letters and gives them a drop shadow effect.

Made to Last – Spencer Mackenzie’s

Spencer Makenzie’s, like Beach House Tacos, offers Mexican food oceanside. Of course, the sea spray can be tough on any beachside sign. Therefore, a rugged design is a must-have. Dave’s Signs creates beachfront signs that can withstand the surrounding ocean elements, while still grabbing passerby’s attention.

Grand Opening – Fast Food Mexican Restaurant Sign for Lalo’s Jr

Grand openings can be exciting, and Mexican food devotees often can’t wait to try out the new offerings. The Mexican restaurant sign we created for Lalo’s Jr.’s Fast Food Restaurant’s opening is as varied and colorful as their menu.
