C&S Companies is a national contractor that works with customers on setting and meeting infrastructure goals. Recently, the contractor worked with Coast Flight Training, one of the nation’s top flight schools. When the project neared its end, C&S Companies hired our sign shop to manufacture and install the school’s custom channel letters in San Diego, CA.
Internally Illuminated LED Signs Focus on Advertising and Branding with Visually Compelling Style Elements
The channel letters our technicians fabricated went on two different walls. Both have different looks and makeup. We worked with the flight school owners directly to ensure that we got the look precisely right.
For the front, the sign would go above the glass. It consists of letters and wings that are 30” tall. Three propellers measure 88” from top to bottom, and the spinner in the middle is 40” tall. We used a raceway to install these letters. This rectangular box enhances the three-dimensional display of the sign and creates a visually compelling contrast.
The other sign goes on the back wall. The dimensions of this internally lit channel letter sign are different. Installed against a light-gray background, the letters and wings measure 36” in height, with the three propellers measurement 102” from top to bottom. The spinner is 48” tall, which keeps the sign’s style elements proportional.
Once our team finished the installation, the flight school owners came out to inspect the finished product. They were so happy with it that they are hiring our sign shop directly to produce and install two sets of signs in the building’s interior.
How to Customize a Building Sign for Maximum Visibility and Aesthetics
Our technicians specialize in the customization of building signs. We start with the color palette. Many clients prefer that we use the custom colors they have selected for their online presence. However, some decide that the use of high-contrast colors creates a much more visually compelling display.
Therefore, the use of targeted colors can help a sign blend in with the surrounding architecture and stand out from the background. Similarly, we can adjust the installation method of a channel letter sign. Flush-mounted letters are neat and look great. A raceway boosts the 3D effect. A wireway could be the best choice when you need a high-contrast color between walls and letters.
Next, there is the question of the measurements. How big do you want to go? Some clients prefer to go as big as possible. Others decide to focus on the size based on the speed of traffic in front of their venues.
