Signs Los Angeles | Channel Letters - Neon and LED Lighting

Posted by Julie and Chris Ramirez on Mon, Nov 7, 2011 @ 06:11 AM

Channel letters are a very professional way to identify your business. The Sign Studio produces the top quality channel letters that will give you the maximum style, clarity, and visibility for your business. Our letters are constructed from aluminum, which weathers better than sheet metal; translucent acrylic faces and a custom-formed trim cap retainer. Our channel letters are internally illuminated with your choice of neon or L.E.D. lighting.

There are several different types of channel letters. The most popular are front-lit, reverse-lit, front + reverse lit, & skeleton-lit.

Front-lit: Aluminum sides & back with acrylic faces. Projects direct light.
Reverse-lit: Aluminum sides & face, open back. Letters are stud-mounted so that the lighting element reflects off the mounting surface, giving a ‘halo’ effect to the signage.
Skeleton-lit: Aluminum sides & back with open face or clear acrylic face. These letters showcase the neon lighting element within each letter.

There are two primary installation-methods for your channel letter sign: flush mounting & raceway mounting. The methods used for your signage depends upon mounting surface, access, landlord and other criteria. Call us today at (818) 843-9200 so that we can help you determine the type of channel letter and installation method that is best for your project.

We are a fully licensed sign contractor and are able to pull the necessary permits for your installation.  We will help you from concept to finish!

Signs Los Angeles | Do you have an ADA Custom Sign Request?

Posted by Julie and Chris Ramirez on Wed, Nov 2, 2011 @ 06:11 AM

ADA Custom Sign Request…….

With The Sign Studio’s custom ADA signage solutions, being compliant does not mean you have to sacrifice your brand!

Regulation-based signage like ADA signage is mandatory for businesses to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.  At The Sign Studio, we believe that every sign should be a reflection of your brand, even those signs that have a misnomer of being “standard.”

In summary, ADA signage is required at all restrooms, emergency exits, parking facilities, entryways and many more areas within any given facility. For business owners, keeping up with compliance standards can be overwhelming. That is where your personal consultant at The Sign Studio comes into play. We can provide business owners with custom company signs and office signs that are required by the Americans with Disabilities Act.

At The Sign Studio, custom does not mean costly. Our advanced printing and engraving technologies allow us to create sophisticated ADA signage in various shapes, colors, sizes and textures. Examples of custom ADA signage include:

  • ADA Bathroom Signage
  • Branded Suite & Room Numbers
  • Custom Handicap Parking Signs
  • Custom Metal Engraved ADA Signs
  • Elevator Signs
  • Stairwell Signs

Concerned that your business is not up to ADA standards?

Los Angeles Signs | All About Banner Printing and Vinyl Banners

Posted by Julie and Chris Ramirez on Mon, Oct 31, 2011 @ 06:10 AM

All About banners and Vinyl Banner Printing

Vinyl banners are an ideal multi-use reusable advertising product. For both interior and exterior uses, vinyl banners are the perfect material for conveying a message. Sporting events, religious gatherings, retail advertising, trade show promotions and just about any other type of message you might want to send can be stated on a banner.

Banners can be as simple as a one word message such as “SALE” or as complex as a full color photograph depicting a new product. Size is not a problem. How large or small a space do you have for displaying your banner? Banners can be printed to the size of a multi-story building or as small as a table top display. Vinyl banners are a versatile material that can be fabricated with sleeves stitched for poles or reinforced hems and grommets for installation over a city street.

There are many different banner weights and strengths for all types of installation situations. Vinyl banners can be easily washed with soap & water, are made of a soft pliable material that can be and rolled for easy shipping and storage.

There are two different methods of producing your image on a vinyl banner. Adhesive vinyl film that is computer cut and applied to the face of vinyl banners or digitally printed vinyl banners on a large format printer. The evolution of banner making has come a long way. First, there were hand-painted banners, then there were adhesive vinyl film applied to banners and now, most common is digitally printed banners. A combination of digital printing and adhesive vinyl film can be used when you want to reuse a banner year after year and just change the date and time of an event. Usually adhesive vinyl banners are produced when the lettering and graphics are simple and one or two colors. Digitally printed banners are produced when a photograph or multicolored graphic or background is needed.

Visit www.thesignstudiola.com for all your banner printing questions and needs.

Los Angeles Signs | All you need to know about SIGNS..........

Posted by Julie and Chris Ramirez on Mon, Oct 24, 2011 @ 06:10 AM

All you need to know about signs………

Signs are seen throughout the world in the form of corporate names on the side of buildings, traffic signs, office signs, lobby signs and way finding signs (the directional signs that point people in the right direction).   Custom signage makes the first impression for the place of business, and can indicate a type of business a person is about to engage with. What would we do without signs? 

An eye-catching office sign may get a consumer to stop in. A colorful and vibrant lobby sign in a dentist’s office may change a person’s mood, while a well-done way finding sign can alleviate a lot of confusion. The value is also showcased highly in corporate branding due to the fact that sign recognition is important for repeat business or customers, and helps with the promotion of a product or service.   For a wide example of custom signs for your business, please visit The  Sign Studio at www.signstudiola.com  and fill in the quote form to start your next project!

Los Angeles Signs | Magnetic Car Signs........

Posted by Julie and Chris Ramirez on Mon, Oct 17, 2011 @ 06:10 AM

Magnetic Car Signs

You see them everywhere…magnetic car signs. Chances are you have either seen someone advertising their business with car magnets, or you yourself are advertising using car magnets. One thing is for sure, if you do use magnetic signs for advertising, the last thing you want is to pull over and find out that one or both of your magnetic signs have flown off of your vehicle. There are several reasons for this happening.

  1. You may have inferior magnetic sheeting. Make sure that when investing in car magnetic signs that you get the strongest possible material. The highest grade of magnetic material is 30 mil.
  2. You may have installed your magnetic signs improperly. The general rule is you want to place your car magnetic signs on the flattest smoothest surface possible. This means no placing the car magnetic signs over emblems or molding and make sure you avoid any freshly repaired or bondo areas where there may be less steel to help adhere your magnetic signs to the body of the vehicle.
  3. One other reason your magnetic signs could blow off could be that the corners of your magnetic signs were not rounded. If your corners are straight edge cuts, after time these corners tend to curl up or “dog ear” which allows air to get between your car magnetic and the vehicle surface. All it takes is a small pocket to let air in between and next thing you know you are dodging traffic trying to retrieve you magnetic sign(s) that just blew off.

Ultimately, you just want to make sure that when purchasing car magnetic signs, you are getting the best possible quality magnetic sign material on the market. Also, make sure that you take care of them and perform routine maintenance to ensure that you get the maximum affect from your magnetic car signs. Taking the couple of minutes to ensure that your magnetic signs are clean and free from debris, could be the difference between you and your competition. Your customers can’t read your advertisement if your magnetic signs are laying on the highway instead of your vehicle door.

Signs Los Angeles | Important Tips for Designing Effective Signs

Posted by Julie and Chris Ramirez on Fri, Sep 23, 2011 @ 06:09 AM

Important Tips for Designing an Effective Sign

What is the first thing most customers notice? Signs! Strategically placed, uniquely branded, and carefully designed signs can add traffic and revenue to your business. Effective signage can be the key to growing your business and grabbing a larger chunk of the market.

What makes an effective sign?
A sign's visibility:
The sign and message should be readable from a customary viewing distance - consider whether most of your potential clients will view the sign as a pedestrian or while traveling in a car. This will determine where a signs is placed, where on the sign the graphics and text are located, and what size your sign needs to be.

A sign's readability: Will they be able to easily view and understand your sign? The size of the graphics and text on a sign is also important. Can your customer read what is on your sign? If you don't have room for large letters you should consider using light colored letters on a dark background. This will provide a high contrast for easy viewing.

A sign's aesthetic: Is your sign pleasing to look at? Customers tend to be drawn to signs with pictures or graphics and producing a sign in full color is even more beneficial. Using a border on your sign design will help frame your message and can help provide a clear, concise message.

If you have any questions or need assistance with anything, please give us a call at The Sign Studio (818) 843-9200 or send us an e-mail at info@signstudiola.com.
