We’ve discussed how signs need to be refreshed or updated once in a while. This could be due to a corporate logo change, name changes, or just due to normal wear and tear especially caused by weather. A fresh coat of paint and new graphics can make a sign come to life and look new. Here is an example of …

Window and glass graphics or vinyl come in many different materials and colors. One type of material that is very common for the office environment is what we typically call etched glass vinyl.

One of the good things about a company growing is that they need to expand their facilities. That generally means more office space and perhaps a move to a larger building.

We’ve talked about vehicle graphics before. There is a whole gamut of options from full wraps to simple text graphics for cars and trucks. There are merits to both approaches. But we’ve noticed over the years that in majority of cases simple graphics will meet the clients’ needs at substantially reduced costs. Case and point; Fremont Bank. We’ve been producing …
As we’ve said before, you don’t always have to build a new sign when updating your graphics or logo. Existing signs such as monuments can be retrofitted with new dimensional lettering or digital print graphics. This will save a huge amount of costs over a full replacement. We’ve refurbished many monuments over the years. If the monument in not illuminated, …

Case and Point; Form Factor which is headquartered in Livermore CA. We had done all the original signs for the entire campus at Form Factor several years …
New retail shops have a lot of challenges when starting out. Generally a lot of upfront work and expenses before they can open their doors. But one of the more critical advertising tools they have available to them is an attractive and visible sign to draw attention to the new location. Case and point; Sugar Baby Sweet Shoppe in Los …
Paseo Villas in downtown San Jose recently went through a major remodeling of the entire complex. New paint and carpets. And of course new signs.

There are times when you may need a sign for a one-off event. Or perhaps an annual event where the venue and contents change each year. For these occasions, a corrugated plastic sign (a.k.a. coroplast) may be the most cost-effective solution. A full color digital print, or contour-cut vinyl graphics may be applied to the coroplast substrate. Based on quantity, …
We’ve talked about the fact that all organizations from schools to churches to fortune 500 corporations refresh their logos from time to time. This is an important step in helping a company re-brand and re-announce itself. This could also coincide with major events such as acquisitions or launch of a new product or service. Hope Services, a nonprofit organization in …
Stadiums around the country periodically change names which result in a major re-branding campaign affecting everything from logos on napkins to new signs all around the facility.

Most things in life need maintenance, upkeep, or a refresh once in a while. Signs are no different. One of the most common problems we see with signs is weather damage. Weather and sun eventually make their mark on everything. Signs would look a bit stale or discolored. In some cases you begin to see peeling of the graphics on …
We’ve talked about vehicle graphics before. This is a great way for a business to be noticed as their vehicle travels around town. Some companies do full wraps on the vehicle. This certainly draws attention but it is also very expensive for most businesses. You can still focus on your business’s key values using simple text of various colors and …
Many schools have large unused wall areas that can accommodate signs and banners for announcing school related events and activities. One very cost-effective way to do a permanent sign is to use sign quality aluminum-based panels with full color digital graphics. These types of sign last for many years vs. banners that are designed as temporary solutions. Here is a …
