What are the 10 Most Popular Types of Custom Signs?

Whether you need indoor or outdoor signs or a combination of both, here are the top 10 business signs.

1.)  Illuminated Signs

Not much can compete for attention in downtown Ventura than this sign we did for Finney's Crafthouse & Kitchen.

Illuminated signs are lit from within or externally and provide high visibility even in low-light conditions. Think of it as 24/7 advertising for your business.

They come in a wide selection ranging from channel lettersback-lit graphicsdimensional letterscabinet signs, aka lightboxesneon, and halo-lit letters.

Sometimes we use a combination of the above lighting technologies to really make an impact, as we did for this sign for Finney’s Crafthouse & Kitchen.

Finney’s Crafthouse & Kitchen is a projecting blade sign with open-face channel letters illuminated with neon lights (Finney’s). “Crafthouse” uses acrylic channel letters, which are front-lit and halo-lit with LED lighting. “& Kitchen” uses a lightbox (back-lit graphics) and a graphic front internally lit with LED lighting.

Located in downtown Ventura, this sign rocks the block and definitely doesn’t go unnoticed. Don’t you want to experience what’s inside?

Illuminated signs can be custom-designed to meet the specific needs of your business, creating a unique and eye-catching sign that enhances brand recognition and visibility.

2.) Channel Letter Signs

Neon business signs are some of the most nostalgic signs around. As stand-alone outdoor signage, not much can compete with a classic neon sign. It’s definitely a sign technology customers love.

Great for restaurants and bars or any type of business that wants that vintage feel.

Not only for outdoor signs, but neon signs also look great inside a store or business mounted on a wall.

4.) Dimensional Letters

Dimensional letters are 3D signs usually made from acrylic or metal and can be illuminated externally using spotlights or barn lighting. Make no mistake, these signs look great and are weather-resistant for outdoor use. They offer professional-looking business signage at a more budget-friendly price.

Whether you want to display your logo or business name, you can’t go wrong with a dimensional letter sign.

Check out this sign as part of a series we did recently for Zachari Dunes on Mandalay Beach in Oxnard, CA. The entire resort was renovated with a new brand. We were hired to develop a sign system for the entire resort. Some of the signs are shown in this post.

5.) Monument Signs

Monument signs are the landmarks of hotels, cities, communities, business parks, hospitals, shopping malls, apartment complexes, churches, and parking lots – just to name a few.

Your customer’s first interaction is often a monument sign. Set the tone with the right first impression.

The five styles of monument signs include post and panel, pylon signs, directory – aka way-finding signs, freestanding, and illuminated monument signs.

We can design and build monument signs within your existing sign system or create one just for you, as we did for Zachari Dunes. Or, if your monument signs need a design refresh, our sign experts can help you find the perfect solution.

6.) Office Signs

Property management signs are essential for communicating important information and rules to employees, tenants, visitors, and the general public.

Typically these signs are used to display property names, addresses, and logos, as well as to provide directional information – not to mention enforce parking and safety rules.

Made from various materials, including concrete, stone, metal, acrylic, and wood – including MDO – we can customize your signs to match the style and branding of the property.

Whether you have a business park with multiple office buildings, a hotel or resort complex, apartments, a hospital, or a residential community investing in high-quality property management signs goes a long way in creating a professional and well-maintained appearance where people want to be.

8.) Blade Signs

Blade signs work great at getting attention from passersby, like this one for Celadon House in downtown Santa Barbara, CA.
Blade signs work great at getting attention from passersby, like this one for Celadon House in downtown Santa Barbara, CA.

Blade signs are projecting or hanging signs designed and mounted on the exterior of buildings, typically above or near storefront entrances. They have an advantage of a short setback so that passersby can easily see them.

They are a popular choice for retail businesses, restaurants, and other commercial establishments that want to attract attention from the street or sidewalk.

Blade signs can be illuminated or non-illuminated and are often used to display the business name and logo.

Most signs are typically made from durable materials, such as aluminum, acrylic, or MDO, to withstand the elements and maintain their appearance over time.

Blade signs are a versatile, easy on the budget, and effective way to promote a business and increase visibility, especially for those pedestrian-friendly areas like downtowns, shopping malls, city centers, and office buildings.

9.) Custom Graphic Signs

We have great designers in-house and can work with you to create eye-catching printed graphics, posters, hand-painted signs, wall graphics, floor graphics, boat graphics, vehicle graphics, vinyl letters, aluminum signs, and even print temporary vinyl banners when you are in the process of moving in.

Window graphics are a popular and effective way for you to enhance your storefront, promote your brand, and add privacy to your space.

Window signs can be easily applied to a variety of surfaces, including glass, mirrors, and other smooth surfaces, making them ideal for a range of applications.

Made from high-quality vinyl materials, they can withstand the elements and resist fading over time. So whether your sign is exposed to weather and sunlight on your shop window or inside your office building, making a statement, your graphics will last.

What Goes into Custom Sign Design?

Call Dave's Signs and ask one of our Experts about our process and how we can get you the end result you are looking for.
Call Dave’s Signs and ask one of our Experts about our process and how we can get you the end result you are looking for.

Whether creating a simple logo or a complex multi-component sign system, a well-designed custom sign can help businesses establish their brand and connect with their target audience.

Here are our design considerations when we help you design a custom business sign:
  1. Brand Identity: As mentioned earlier, incorporating elements of your business’s brand identity into the sign design is crucial for establishing brand recognition.
  2. Color Scheme: The color scheme should be eye-catching yet consistent with your business’s overall brand colors.
  3. Fonts and Typography: The font choice should be legible and consistent with your business’s brand guidelines.
  4. Graphics and Imagery: Any graphics or imagery used in the sign design should align with the overall brand identity and be relevant to your business.
  5. Lighting: Illumination can enhance the visibility of a sign and add a unique touch. Studies have even shown that lighted signs have a more lasting impression.
  6. Location: The location and placement of the sign should be considered, considering the target audience and the environment it will be placed.
  7. Permits and Regulations: It’s essential to ensure that the sign design complies with your local regulations and requirements.

By considering these design elements, we can create custom signs that are both functional and aesthetically appealing, effectively promoting your brand and attracting customers.

What are the Most Common Business Sign Materials?

Aluminum signs with your logo like this custom shaped lightbox blade sign for Midici Wood Fired Pizza look great 24/7.
Aluminum signs with your logo, like this custom-shaped lightbox blade sign for Midici Wood Fired Pizza, look great 24/7.
Custom business signs are made from various materials, each with unique characteristics and benefits.

Acrylic is a popular choice for its durability, versatility, and ease of fabrication – typically 3D signs and dimensional letters.

Aluminum is another common choice for its lightweight and durability, making it ideal for outdoor signs, like channel letters and lightbox signs.

Wood signs offer a natural, organic look and can be stained or painted to match the color scheme of a business. Post and panel signs and wall plaques are commonly made with wood.

Medium Density Overlay (MDO) is a type of wood treated with resin to make it more durable, making it a popular choice for outdoor signs, especially blade signs.

Glass signs can be backlit to create a glowing effect and can be used in indoor and outdoor applications. Neon signs fall into this category. Neon tubes are made of glass. And by the way, we are one of the few sign shops with a neon fabrication shop in-house.

Vinyl is a versatile and cost-effective material that is ideal for short-term promotions and temporary signs, as well as for creating vinyl decals and graphics for windows and doors.

These are just a few materials that can be used to create custom business signs. Talk with one of our experts at Dave’s Signs, and we can help you decide which material is suitable for your application.

Maintenance 

Commercial Sign Service & Repair in Camarillo, CA

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

Professional Custom Signs Promote and Make Your Business Unique

Many design elements make a commercial sign a hit, including eye-catching color, font, and contrast. Meanwhile, professional custom signs bring together all the characteristics of great signage in a way that no off-the-shelf sign can. Here are some excellent ways that nicely-done custom signs promote and make your business unique.

#1: Custom Signs Give Visibility to Your Brand

Unfortunately, run-of-the-mill signage does not put your brand in the right light. Building a brand people recognize is best laid at the feet of expert signmakers who design professional custom signs. One of the simplest and most common ways to grab attention and grant visibility is by designing your custom sign with a dynamic logo and other interactive elements.

#2: High-Quality Professional Custom Signs Increase Foot Traffic

According to a survey conducted by FedEx Office, high-quality signs increase foot traffic and make people want to come inside. The survey found that 8 in 10 people said they had entered a business or store they had never been to before, merely based on its signs. That’s nearly 76%! Of course, the brilliant sign design needed for this effect is hard to capture with the ho-hum approach of generic signs.

#3: The Right Amount of Signs Keep You Competitive

Professional Custom Signs at Topper's Pizza

Can you believe the absence of a sign will deter customers from entering your store? It will, and if you are wondering what the magic number of signage is, it’s around 2-3 signs around the storefront. Additionally, you can amp up storefront signage appeal with contrasting colors. In fact, black and white can impart one of the strongest contrasts. But, while fonts can create distinctive contrast, don’t go overboard with them and decrease your sign’s legibility and aesthetics.

#4: Good Kerning Gives Symmetry & Unique Looks

Kerning is a type of negative space, and it is where letters are close or far apart. Letters spaced too closely or too far apart define bad kerning. Kerning that is subpar is pretty hard on the eyes and screams unprofessionalism.

Nevertheless, it works well on promoting things such as homemade lemonade stands for kids and side-of-the-road fruit & vegetable stands – both of which typically feature charming handmade scribbled letters and misspellings on their signs.

That being said, it’s important to use good kerning to promote your business, especially when it comes to Channel Letter and Dimensional Letter Signs. The assorted good kerning and font styles we did for the Beach House Fish Dimensional Letter Sign above really looks professional, has great symmetry and overall appeal.

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.
