Joseph’s Men’s Wear operates a location at the Mercado Shopping Center on 17075 Bernardo Center Drive. There, the custom tailoring specialist brings an old-world approach to impeccable and perfectly fitted clothing. When this business needed a 3D letter exterior sign in San Diego, CA, the retailer’s management team contacted All Star Signs to take on the project.
Non-Lit Channel Letters? We Do Those!
The client did not need an illuminated sign. However, the team wanted a product that had the boldness of a lighted marker. We recommended the construction of a non-lit channel letter sign. For this product, we used half-inch-thick white acrylic that we cut to a depth of three inches. The bright white color demands attention during daytime as well as after dark when it is illuminated from a wall-mounted light.
Besides that, this sign stands out because the lettering right below the logo presentation consists of standard flat-cut dimensional letters. This combination of depths and color choices is an ideal opportunity to enjoy the benefits of channel letter construction without the actual investment in the signage. It is a distinctive look that draws that eye with or without built-in illumination.
Alternatives to Acrylic 3D Letter Construction
Acrylic is a fantastic option because it looks like glass, which adds pizzazz to a storefront. However, it is not the only option open to you. Another popular material is outdoor-rated sign foam. Our technicians can take this material and achieve three-inch depths. One of the most significant advantages of sign foam is the opportunity to save money.
We can still paint it in any color you choose, add acrylic or metallic laminates, or put on vinyl overlays. However, if you do not plan to stay at your location for more than five years, you could opt for a sign foam with a lower density. Conversely, consider a denser product if you are committed to the site for a decade or more. This decision can save you quite a bit of money on product selection.
Would You Prefer Standard Channel Letters?
Of course, many clients still ask for traditional channel letters, and we are glad to put these together for your company. We work with aluminum and acrylic to fabricate channel letters at a depth that is ideal for your location. Most importantly, we can accommodate flush mounts, raceway installations, panels, or something else.
Of course, when you prefer a standard 3D letter exterior sign in San Diego, CA, discuss your plans with our graphic artist. We can craft characters with acrylic, various types of metal, or PVC. Similarly, if you are thinking of maybe trying an utterly different signage presentation, we gladly show you the options for this step, too. Examples might include lightbox cabinets or 3D logo boards.
All Star Signs routinely works with business owners who have stores in mall settings or storefronts in indoor shopping centers. Our technicians adapt the signage design to the requirements of the venue and the rules of the property management company. Contact us today to schedule a design consultation!
