Phoenix, Az is a bustling city with a large and diverse commercial landscape. It’s vitally important for businesses to have eye-catching exterior signage able to both bring in customers and stand out from the competition. Establishments such as retail shops, office complexes, restaurants, and so on turn to local sign companies like Arizona Custom Signworks to design, install, and maintain their signs. There are several types of exterior signs depending on your needs. In a busy city like Phoenix, great signs make all the difference.
For a sleek professional appearance in well lit areas, dimensional letter signs are ideal. These signs add depth to your storefront with a three-dimensional, raised appearance. Because they are made from weather resistant materials like metal, wood, acrylic, or aluminum, they are able to stand up to Arizona’s harsh desert climate.
If the front of your business is parallel to the flow of foot or vehicle traffic, you should consider a blade sign. These are perpendicular so they project outward from your storefront for increased visibility to the potential customers passing by. They are customizable to enhance your particular brand and may be illuminated as well for better nighttime viewing.
One of the most popular kinds of exterior signage are channel letter signs because of their professional appearance and lighting options. The letters themselves are made from aluminum, steel, acrylic, and more. They’re able to be lit with the color of your choice in neon lighting, or the more economical and reliable LED lighting and there are different ways they can be lit.
Front-lit channel letters are illuminated from the inside so light shines through the front of the letters.
Back-lit, or halo-lit letters are lit from behind so there is a ‘halo’ of light surrounding each letter.
You could also opt for a combination of the two for your channel letter signs for a dramatic eye-catching appearance.
Another option are open-faced channel letters where the lighting is exposed for a more vintage eye-catching look.
Lastly there are raceway-mounted channel letters. These are attached to a box which houses the electrical components and requires fewer mounting points than individual channel letters, reducing the damage to the mounting surface which may be better for rented or leased properties.
If your business is near a busy road, you should consider a pylon sign. These free-standing signs are great for high visibility from a distance. They may be single or double sided and may even include digital displays for instant updating and illuminated from within. For locations with multiple businesses, they can be made with separate panels for each establishment.
Monument signs are ground level permanent structures made from stone, brick, concrete, or metal. These signs offer a professional look which inspires confidence and trust and are perfect for office complexes, residential communities, commercial parks, and more.
A type of exterior sign commonly used for temporary business identification or in real estate is the post and panel sign. They are usually made with panels mounted on posts. The panels are customizable with printed graphics with the design of your choice.
