Signs Los Angeles | How Effecient Signs and Banners are for YOU!

Posted by Julie and Chris Ramirez on Wed, Sep 21, 2011 @ 06:09 AM

Signs and banners are an efficient way to advertise any type of business with lasting results. How Effecient can signs & banners be for you!

A sign should be the spotlight of your place of business as this may be the only opportunity to sell your product. In today's competitive marketplace signs should attract the attention of the consumer and invite them to buy. An advertisement with a distinct and eye catching design or logo can produce a high volume of customers. Signs and banners are an investment that will pay for itself. Extra income can be generated by strategically marketing your brand. Our business is to help you create the best design for your specific advertising needs.

At The Sign Studio we have full color digital graphics to enhance the symbol, logo or emblem you may want to use in creating your banner or sign. A banner is large but portable; it can be moved from a doorway, window or entrance and be placed where you decide it attracts the most attention. A window sign is more of a permanent way of getting the same outcome. If your business does not have the space for a large banner or you just don't want the permanence of a window sign; a site sign or vehicle sign could be the answer. These signs are removable and portable, just smaller in scale. We can still design a logo that is unique for your business. Whether it's a restaurant, daycare, doctor's office, grocery store or even a one- time event we will make sure you are seen. Call us today for a consultation and quote!

Signs Los Angeles | Looking to Buy a Custom Sign?

Posted by Julie and Chris Ramirez on Thu, Apr 14, 2011 @ 06:04 AM

Buying a Custom Sign
Every business organization wants to look their best at all times. A great way to do that is with a high quality sign that projects the right image for your business. Many are surprised to find that getting a custom made sign seems easy at first, because there are many sign shops/manufacturers to choose from, only to find that the information required to obtain a quote is confusing. Some of this is due to lack of experience on the part of entrepreneurs as they may have never had a sign made, but the problem can be compacted by sign makers if they are not experts in the sign industry. Know your options and what will work best for your everyday use.

Custom Sign Options
First you must determine where your sign will be located and the drawing that you want to use to narrow the field of materials and custom options for your sign. The biggest factor is whether the sign will be protected from the elements inside/outside or where it will be exposed to the weather factors. This should be considered for the sign material. The agenda will be the budget for the sign, since the cost will be directly connected to the material used, the number of colors and a custom design is needed.

Inside Custom Signs
Indoor signs are usually much cheaper than their outdoor counterparts because they are in a protected environment. You no longer need to worry about strong winds, rain, snow, animals or vandals. Considerations should be made so that the sign blends with the building design and still captures the attention. Material options include custom interior signs, plastic, aluminum and PVC with variations that are a combination of the above substances, such as Dibond or Aluma-plastic signs.

Outdoor Custom Signs
Outdoor signs face many threats, including weather, animals, vandals and other external factors. The first step to an external sign is to verify the legal restrictions from your city, province and the owner or operator of the property. You may need special permission to hang a new sign or have a certain size, color or material requirement/limitation. Knowing this, before you begin your sign design will be very helpful.

If you have any questions or need further information or simply want us to take charge of your project,  please send us an e-mail at info@signstudiola.com or give us a call at (818) 843-9200.

Los Angeles Signs | Signage Development For Large Institutions

Posted by Julie and Chris Ramirez on Fri, Jan 21, 2011 @ 08:01 AM

SIGN PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT FOR LARGE INSTITUTIONS

Large institutions such as libraries, college campuses, hospitals and the like, will typically go beyond the traditional aspects of building construction or renovation and work with a sign consultant or fabricator to develop a specific sign program. This will consist of analyzing the floor plan to understand exactly how the building is being used, not only by the building owner and inhabitants, but by visitors who are able bodied and those with disabilities. A survey that includes way finding and accessibility will be taken into account, the types of signs required and their placement throughout the building must be considered. Many details go into this process which should be a collaborative one between the building owner, architect, builder and sign consultant.

The basics will include a complete site plan with tabular legend showing address, zoning, owner and tenant information, contractor, lot particulars and type and quantity of the proposed signs. Property lines, location of utilities, landscaping, parking stalls, street lines, utility poles, fencing, as well as existing signage, etc. must all be identified. Scaled elevation drawings will show the existing location of signs (whether being retained or removed) and will include the locations of the proposed signs.

Architectural elements will include:

• Compatibility of the signs with the design motif of the building
• Incorporating common design elements such as sign materials, colors, lettering style, etc.
• Consistency of the design to promote unity, continuity to prevent disarray and/or clashing features
• Compliance with local zoning and planning departments
• Public safety and regulatory concerns
