A preschool is more than just a building. It’s where little minds grow, where curiosity thrives. So when Sunrise School opened in Carlsbad, they needed more than just a sign. They needed a symbol, a welcome that speaks to families from the first step inside. That’s where North Coast Signs came in. We crafted a sign that doesn’t just sit on a wall—it tells a story.
Colors that Spark Joy
Color matters. Especially when your audience is little ones full of wonder. For Sunrise School, we didn’t hold back. We chose a vibrant palette—Pantone Yellow C, Pantone 1235 C, Pantone 1375 C, Pantone 367 C, and White. These aren’t just colors; they’re emotions on display. Bright yellows and greens bring energy. The whites add clarity. Together, they create a space that feels open, joyful, and alive. Step inside Sunrise School and the colors do more than look pretty. They set a mood. They say, “Welcome, you belong here.”
Acrylic that Stands Strong
This isn’t a flimsy piece of plastic slapped on a wall. No, this sign has weight. It’s built from thick, half-inch acrylic. Strong. Resilient. Built to handle the daily buzz of a busy preschool. We gave it a semi-gloss finish—just enough shine to catch the eye without being over the top. This sign is here for the long haul, ready to greet new families for years to come. That’s North Coast quality. It’s not just a sign; it’s a fixture, a lasting mark in Carlsbad’s growing community.
Mounting that Means Business
How do you make a sign feel like part of the wall? Precision. No shortcuts. For Sunrise School, we used a custom drill pattern to mount each letter with absolute precision. Big letters? Two to four studs per piece, ensuring they stay put. Smaller letters? We used high-strength VHB tape for that sleek, seamless look. It’s more than just hanging letters; it’s engineering. This sign sits flush against the wall, giving it that clean, professional look that’s unmistakable.
Inside Meets Outside: Brand Consistency
Branding doesn’t stop at the front door. It flows inside. That’s why we made sure this lobby sign perfectly matches Sunrise School’s exterior signage. Same colors, same style. When parents see it outside, then again in the lobby, it creates continuity. It’s a small detail, but it builds trust. It says, “We care about every detail.” At North Coast Signs, we know that consistency is more than a design choice—it’s a message. And in Carlsbad, it’s a message Sunrise School is proud to share.
