The types of signs you choose for your storefront are crucial. Your markers can reflect the philosophy and culture of your organization as well as make your overall first impression. Your signs can be installed on your façade with channel letters, as part of the architecture of your facility, or they can be freestanding pylon or monument signs. All Star Signs is well-versed on all varieties of building signs in San Diego County. Here are the solutions we get the most requests for:
Pylon Signs
Also referred to as pole signs, these markers put you head and shoulders above your rivals. To increase the visibility of your message, this type of sign is placed on top of a sturdy pylon. Pole signs can be designed in several different styles and colors. They can also feature internal illumination. If you have information that needs to be regularly updated, we recommend incorporating an LED message board into the design of your pylon sign. As a full-service sign shop, we can take care of every step of the pylon installation process, including sign permitting.
Standard Illuminated Channel Letter Signs
A favorite type of signage for retailers, restaurants, and professional offices alike is channel letters. These markers can combine your name and logo in an array of creative ways. Or, you can choose understated and simple designs. It all depends on the style and tastes of your organization. The letter frames are formed from aluminum sheet metal. The light source is installed within each letter. The two main illumination options are LEDs or neon tubes.
Monument Signs
Monument signs are freestanding markers that make a big first impression. These signs typically have raised letters that are configured to fit the monument sign’s shape and style. For instance, each dimensional letter can be designed to follow the curve of a curved monument sign. A broad range of materials can be used to make monument signs.
Reverse-Lit Channel Letter Signs
Reverse-lit channel letters are similar in structure to the standard channel letters, only instead of the light coming out of the front through an acrylic face, the illumination comes out of the back of the letters and creates a halo on the wall to which the marker is installed. The stylish and distinguished appearance these signs create is ideal for storefronts where a pylon or monument sign just is not feasible.
Architectural Signage
Architectural signs are perhaps the most creative and most invasive type of signage since the marker is actually part of the architecture of your venue. Most property managers and landlords do not allow for this type of signage due to the lasting impact it can have on the façade of your venue, but if you own your facility, you might consider turning heads with these markers.
