Mexican Restaurant Sign Styles that Get Your Business Noticed

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

El Dorado Mexican Restaurant Channel Letter Sign

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 

Pepes Neon Sign Restoration

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 Neon Sign

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

Fast Food Mexican Sign

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.

Channel Letter Signs Make Customers Aware of Your Business

Channel Letter Signs are a very popular advertising tool. Their distinctive bold designs stand out and make customers aware of your business and brand.  Also, some of the biggest national brands around the world use channel letters to advertise and promote their products and services.

What are Channel Letter Signs?

Woodland Hills Sign Company

Gorgeous channel lettering defines this type of sign. Sign companies make channel lettering by cutting letters out of aluminum or by forming them from plastic. Once they cut them, they mount the letters on a backplate. When designed properly, channel letter signs look beautiful and can turn your business into a landmark. They are used for the interior or exterior of commercial or public buildings.

Main Types of Channel Letter Signage

BRENDAN'S CHANNEL LETTER SIGN

Typically, signage with channel lettering comes in varying configurations. However, the following three designs are the most popular:

    • Open and closed face.
    • Halo-lit, front-lit and reverse-lit.
    • Self-standing style or plate mounted.

These three basic configuration types of interior and exterior signs lead to several, versatile shapes and sizes. Custom Channel Letter Signs have the ability to turn your business into a landmark.

3 Benefits of Channel Letter Signs

BUFFALO EXCHANGE CHANNEL LETTER SIGN

  • Visibility – Channel letters appear bigger than two-dimensional signs since they have more physical depth – a 3D effect if you will. That makes them highly visible to passers-by.
  • Uniqueness – These signs are highly customizable, thereby making them reflect your brand voice superbly. For instance, the use of distinctive color matching schemes makes your company’s font and logo appear professional and unique.
  • Luminosity – Luminosity can certainly leave a memorable impression on passersby and elevate your business. To make channel lettering shine brilliantly, we can customize and add additional allure to numbers and letters. We can also use a balanced mix of color-changing neon, LEDs, or shiny new letter colors.

Why Your Business Should use Channel Letter Signs

Channel letters are custom-made metal or acrylic letters that are used for signs. They are lit up and visible at night, even from far away. They are the first choice of companies and businesses who want to stand out and make sure their brand is advertised with distinction.

When it comes to making channel letter signs we’ve built signs from the smallest mom and pop businesses to some of the largest companies around. Check out this familiar sign below:

Channel Letter Signs are Cost Effective

Using Channel Letter Signs is one of the most cost-effective ways to market your brand. You will be able to attract more customers to your business with a beautiful channel letter sign. It is a common goal among the businesses to keep their costs down. Since channel letters are not very expensive and more importantly, they act as a one-time investment, this is the perfect opportunity to save some money. You can browse through many options from ready-made simple, plain letters to LED ones and personalized designs. Check out our gallery here.

Channel Letter Signs

They Are Environmentally Friendly

These channel letters are also environmentally friendly. If you are looking to support the Go Green initiative, this is one way to do so. To start with, they use LED lights. Since LED lights don’t contain mercury or lead, this is a green option. While fluorescent and neon lights increase the attractiveness, they don’t really help the environment. Using LED lights will help you receive permits more easily because of their environment-friendly nature.

Channel Letter Signs

They Will Boost Your Brand Image

Last but not the least, channel letters can give your brand image a huge boost. They talk about the business’s vision and attitude. These signs convey the brand’s image – playful, inviting, fancy, or friendly. These can also be customized to reflect the brand in the best manner possible. While it costs reasonable money at the time of installation, it does not require anything more in the long run.

Our Team at Dave’s Signs would love to help you out with any of your channel letter signage requirements. Make sure out our other channel letter signs in our gallery here.

 

 

How To Choose A Sign For Your Business

Making your mark in a competitive landscape is a lot about using the right advertising and marketing strategies. And choosing a sign for your business is one important tool in your advertising arsenal. Check out this restaurant sign below we did for Toppers Pizza Place in Camarillo, California.

Signs For Your Business

At Dave’s Signs, we firmly believe that attracting customers to your business is all about creating the right first impression. When you choose the right kind of sign for your business, it improves the appearance of your storefront, and helps attract customers.

Here are some tips on how to choose a sign for your business…

  • Quality – While there are a large number of companies out there that can provide cheap business signs, it important that you look for a credible operator that provides you the perfect balance of quality and cost. A poorly-designed or shabbily structured sign will have negative impact on your reputation. Check out this office sign we completed below for Ambulnz™. It’s clean, simple and professional.Signs For Your Business
  • The Right Branding – It’s important that your business sign reflects your brand identity. The design, structure, and the colors used need to complement your brand image.
  • Simplicity in Design – When getting your sign designed, make sure that it has a simple and clean design. Adding too much of information, too many colors or excessive lighting will make the sign look too cluttered, impacting its readability. Your signs should have just the right amount of information to bring in more foot traffic.
  • The Right Materials – While there are a large number of materials that can be used in outdoor signage, it’s important that you choose something which matches the aesthetic of your storefront. Channel letter signs with halo-lit lighting is a good choice for outdoors and can be constructed in different types of metals and acrylic. Make sure that the materials that you opt for would be able to weather the elements and last for a number of years with minimal maintenance. Check out the bank sign below. It looks like wood, but its actually made out of acrylic.

Channel Letters- What Are They?

Channel letters are illuminated letters and graphics that are individually cut and installed on storefronts and various other commercial settings such as restaurants, pubs, bars, shopping malls, specialty stores, retail stores and more. They are one of the best mediums of storefront identification. Since each letter is formed separately and has its own light source, the signage creates a highly impactful 3D effect.

Why Channel Letters Are a Great Option

When passersby and motorists view your signage it creates a great impression. Good quality channel letters indicate to potential clients that your establishment is serious about its business. Professionally designed and beautifully fabricated channel letter signs are one of the best ways to create an impact on the public, especially during the nighttime. We created this channel letter sign for Yolanda’s Mexican Cafe, it looks great at night!
