Take a quick look at the pictures in this article.
These are photos of the exterior building sign that we designed, fabricated and installed for COOLA Suncare. They are a great company located here in Carlsbad, CA. Their mission is “to spoil your sometimes finicky, always worthy skin with the most pure, eco-conscious products possible.”
We enjoyed working with COOLA on this project and look forward to helping them with any other signage needs they may have in the future.
A few things about the project…
How It’s Made
This exterior building sign was made from formed plastic, which can be molded to any shape or lettering to match any branding pieces that one of our clients may have. This is a great product for this type of application because of its flexibility in terms of design. It has a flat face and is matched to the color in their logo using the Pantone color system.
There are a wide variety of material
s that can be used to make an exterior building sign. Although we used formed plastic on this project, there are a lot of options when it comes to designing any sign. We recommend using a local sign expert who can sit down with you and help you explore all the various options and products available to you.
Installation
To install this sign, we first needed to address the fact that it is high up off the ground. In order to get in position to install the sign, we use a 60-foot straight boom lift. These lifts are essential when installing signage high up on the side of the building, on the top of the pole or on a roof.
In the case of this project, it was an installation of a non-electrical sign. But for many businesses, having a lighted sign is very beneficial, especially if the business operates at night. We can easily add LED lights to many different types of sign products to give the sign that extra bit of pop, and help attract more customers
To mount the sign to the wall, we use a drill pattern in order to make sure that sign is mounted properly and level.
Permits
Part of what we do to help ou
r clients is to do the research on the local sign permitting laws in their city. In the city of Carlsbad, where our client is located, we were able to easily obtain the necessary sign permits in order to get their sign installed under regulation. The service is included when anyone buys a sign from North Coast Signs, however it does not include sign permitting fees paid to the city.
If you have any questions about updating or getting a new building sign for your business, we would be more than happy to help in any way that we can. If you are in the area, feel free to stop by our sign studio if you would like to see some of the many product examples that we offer.
