No two restaurant locations, or exterior building sizes and styles, around the Tampa Bay area are alike. Therefore their signage needs are different too. One thing however is the same, each one needs a sign for their building’s exterior. This is where an experienced sign company really comes in to play. They can help you with the creative end as well as county and city building codes and any architectural design that may limit the size, shape, etc., of your signs. This is exactly why the experts at Premier Signs of Tampa have so many repeat customers in the restaurant industry.
One of their clients is Jersey Mike’s, a restaurant chain with many Bay area locations. Like many restaurants, their locations are usually in a business park or mall, so the available outdoor wall space varies and the signs must be customized for each space. One of their signature colors of white, red or blue, are always used but the specific choice is dependent on the building’s exterior color, for best contrast. They also usually use LED lit channel letters, whenever possible. This is just a starting point, because if other sign options are needed, the custom process continues until the perfect outdoor logo sign is fabricated and installed for each location. Here are some examples: 
When a Jersey Mike’s location is on a corner, multiple signs are placed on each side for maximum exposure. Often a second set of identical channel letters are used, but cabinet signs are also used when space is more limited, or as an alternative or additional sign. Cabinets are versatile because they can be attached directly to the exterior wall, and can also be LED lit.
Many outdoor cabinet signs, that are used in addition to the wall entrance, are placed on pole signs set closer to the street, as a second marketing layer. Other restaurants throughout the Bay area also use these methods, as shown here:
LED oval cabinet sign name placed atop center’s directory pole sign
Channel letters, cabinet signs and combinations of both, enable exterior business signs to be customized to suit each client and their space:
Custom cut out integrated horse and name channel letters with solid tag line underneath
Two tone tall letters on painted raceway
Channel letters w/ LED halo lighting
