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 in Los Angeles we’ve designed and mounted in specific cities around the city and tell you a bit about the companies they represent.

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 murals within 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’ve since 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.

FocalPoint Partners LLC Office Lobby Sign, Los Angeles. CA

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

Mansour is a business that sells vintage and new fine rugs from all over the world. They came to us for a sign that would represent their brand and give their store a luxurious look. We used blue Channel Letters to create a sign that is sleek and sophisticated for their storefront display.

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

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

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 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?

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

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

• 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.

Premium Signage Starts Here

But we aren’t too big to handle signs for small businesses either like Garry Marshall Theatre, The Lido Apartments, and Toppers Pizza Place.

However, it is also crucial to have the right kind of marketing strategy in place. In addition to all your marketing and advertising efforts, it is also a good idea to invest in custom signs like the ones that we at Dave’s Signs offer. 

Custom Signs – The Benefits

A custom sign always looks very distinctive and helps you create the brand impact you want. Since it will be designed for your specific needs, you can be sure that it will create an excellent first impression. This helps you make your mark in a crowded marketplace.

Your business sign is a very crucial part of your branding campaign and is something that you should focus on. When you decide to get a custom sign for your business, you can rest assured that the logo, colors, and overall design and style will match your brand. This goes a long way in familiarizing people with the services and products your company/business offers.

Create an Impact

When you opt for custom signs, you can choose every aspect of the feature. Aside from the actual design and lettering for the signs, you can also select the type of lighting you want, and the materials, etc. While custom signs do make a remarkable impact, it is necessary to get them designed and fabricated by experts like us who have experience in this industry. 

We can provide the types of custom business signs you want and will make sure you get the best quality features at cost-effective pricing. For any more information on our customized signs, contact Dave’s Signs at (805) 641-1387 or send us your queries and project details via this Contact Us form.
