How to Brand Your Growing Business with Corporate Building Signs

As anyone who has tried to grow their business knows, it’s vital to focus on your branding efforts. After all, even Pepsi and Coca-Cola still work on branding, and they’ve been America’s favorite sodas since the 1940s. There are many different aspects of branding for you to work on, including your corporate signs. Without proper signage, your customers won’t be able to connect each of your products to your specific company. Instead, read on to find out more about corporate building signs that give your prospective customers a lasting impression.

Steps to Branding with Corporate Building Signs

Before you begin designing your signs, make sure you know what colors and logo you’re going to use. Daves’s Signs does excellent design work. We can take anything from a loose sketch to existing logos, fonts, colors—to brand guidelines or architectural renderings that were done by an agency, to collaborate and present you with sign solutions.

For instance, we can take your existing logo to come up with eye-catching sign ideas, resulting in something wonderful in terms of look and feel that fits your needs. Dave’s Signs is also fully knowledgeable about what the city allows for signage. We’ll work to get you a beautiful sign that checks all the boxes when it comes to local ordinances.

Starting from scratch? No problem—our design team can collaborate with you to design the perfect branding solution for your business needs. In short, we’ll design, fabricate and install a sign that meets all city requirements and elevates your brand.

Lastly, you’ll need to decide between several different sign types. Some are easier to choose than others based purely on your location or industry.

Custom Signs That Make Excellent Corporate Building Signs

The custom sign types available from Dave’s Signs include:

Below is some information about these custom signs, including how they draw attention to your brand.

Dimensional Letters 

Storefront Signs

Dimensional Letter Signs refer to any lettering or logo that has three dimensions (as opposed to flat panels). You may also hear them called metal letters, plastic cut letters or 3D graphics too. While dimensional letters are not intrinsically illuminated, they can be lit in some ways. When similar letters are internally illuminated or backlit, they are called channel letters.

Illuminated Signs

If your business is open after dark, Illuminated Signs are a must-have. Illuminated signs will help people engage with your business, while also providing high visibility day and night. Additionally, bear in mind that some shopping centers and property management companies make it mandatory that your storefront signs be illuminated. For more information on illuminated signs check out our post, “What are the Different Types of Lighted Signs? Here are our Top 5.”

Neon Signs

If you want to make a lasting impression, Neon Signs have been getting desired results for brands for over a century. Neon tubing has been a popular solution for both creating and accenting signs for over 100 years, and their steady, piercing lights have a high visual impact, bringing attention to the artwork from blocks away. The businesses that choose neon signs light up the night with distinct primary colors, making them a definite focal point at night, thereby branding your business.

Monument Signs

For many hotels, shopping malls, apartment complexes, business parks, restaurants, and even city entryways, exterior monument signs are truly impressive and make a large impact. Monument signage provides a wonderful landmark for your company by letting all passers-by know exactly who and where you are.

Property Management Signs

Property Management Signs covers all sign types for apartments, planned communities, shopping malls, hotels, office buildings & properties, and retail outlets. They work hard to elevate your brand and establish your reputation, along with helping your business communicate effectively with the local community with a cohesive look and functionality throughout.

Channel Letter Signs

Do I Really Need a High-Quality Corporate Sign?

Have you ever been to a store that’s still using a worn-out sign that’s seen better days? If so, you already know how unprofessional this can look. These battered signs might be considered charming at a vegetable stand on the side of the road. However, if you plan to be in business for the long run, then it’s best to invest in high-quality signs.

So, to answer the question, yes, you do need a high-quality corporate sign. Consider beautiful, professional corporate building signs a sound investment since placing one outside your building or outside of your restaurant is going to get you more attention, better-paying customers and a better all-around feeling about your business.

The Top Reasons Why You Need Office Suite Signs

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 Sign

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

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.

Interior Branding is the Ultimate Business Strategy

Branding your business is one of the quickest and easiest paths to success. Interior branding utilizes the visual appeal of high-quality interior signs and graphics to make your business thrive. Ahead, let’s see how interior branding can serve as your ultimate business strategy

What Interior Branding Means to Your Business

Interior branding is vital for all businesses. However, what does that actually mean? Since interior branding is an interior design tool, it conveys the essence of your company’s brand identity. The way designers accomplish this is through the integration of branding and graphic elements throughout the inside physical environment.

Signs That Utilize Branding Tools Breed Success

Excellent design is no longer considered an elitist concept. Instead, it’s now part of a powerful business strategy. Moreover, interior branding uses tools that make it an integral part of achieving this business success. Today, successful companies like The Trade Desk, Charles Schwab, and Ambulnz use interior branding.

Firstly, they use it as a vital business strategy to enhance their brand’s image and identity. Secondly,  it gains the loyalty of clients. Both results lead to better ROI.

5 Visual Elements for a Well-Branded Interior

Interior areas provide ample opportunities to display beautiful custom design signage. Here are a few visual elements we suggest adding to interior areas that your visitors are sure to notice.

1. The Interior Matches Your Brand

This method involves creating custom signage that reflects your firm’s core essence. It encompasses both ambient interior environments and beautiful aesthetics.

2. The Interior Reinforces Visual Identity

A firm’s logo, trademark design, or a certain color pallet can be used as interior details. When you do this, it reinforces visual identity.

3. The Visuals are Consistent

If you don’t want clients to be confused by your brand message, use consistent visual language. Especially if the signage is in more than one physical environment.

4. Visuals Must Enhance the Surroundings

Custom signs that are professionally-made blend flawlessly into their surroundings, enhancing the overall effect. However, they don’t have to necessarily match the surroundings exactly. In brief, that can lead to a very ho-hum effect or simply look out of place.

5. The Visuals Create a Special Experience

When clients walk into your boutique or office, you want their experience to be memorable. Pay close attention to how your clients connect with your business through their various physical senses – not to mention this is an aspect that is particularly important to spas.

Custom Office Signs Make Lasting First Impressions

A handmade, gaudy sign might cut the mustard for a vegetable stand. Some might even consider it quaint. Meanwhile, the same quality of sign would prove disastrous if used for a dentist or lawyer’s office. As an office complex leasee or owner, you want the message you are sending to appear professional and uniquely suited to your brand. Beautiful, custom office signs accomplish this goal, and they also make lasting first impressions. Ahead are some custom office signs that demand attention and uniquely represent the brand and reputation of your office business.

Dimensional Letter Signs

Dimensional letters look pleasing and professional on virtually any wall surface. Everything about a law firm needs to project a professional, expert, and competent appearance, including their signs.  We chose a sleek design with cut letters for Silver & Arscht for this very reason. Dave’s Signs created this elegant stone accent piece with cut metal letters, and it is mounted in their lobby.

If you are looking for letters with more depth and noticeability, consider those that are backlit in the next section.

Backlit Office Signs

Backlit office signs really stand out and get your business noticed. Take the one we created for Digital Dental Arts Laboratory, for instance. The sign we made for them creates a professional ambiance associated with the company. We created the luminous effect with energy-efficient and low-voltage LED lights that are placed behind the letters. The result is a 3D effect that brightens their brand, message, and logo.

Panel Signs

Panel signs provide needed information, while also bestowing a smooth, architectural element to the area. As a bonus, it’s also easier to install and move this type of signage. Choose from a variety of materials for its composition,  including clear & frosted acrylic or glass or aluminum and wood.

Custom Directional/Wayfinding Signs

Office building owners must post easily seen emergency exit signs, stairwell signs, egress, and more in their buildings. This type of office signage helps a business owner meet code and other regulations.

Although these signs aren’t very flashy, they are a necessary visual that helps keep occupants in a building safe.  To illustrate, this brushed steel stairwell sign we created to meet ADA sign requirements includes a duplicate of its wayfinding message in braille.
