National brands refresh their logos and visual identity from time to time—and when they do, every store location must upgrade its signage to match the new national brand standards. Recently, CVS Pharmacy rolled out an updated logo design, which triggered a large-scale replacement of storefront signs across the region. As part of that national rebrand rollout, Sign Unlimited was selected to update multiple CVS storefronts throughout the Bay Area, including CVS Fremont, CVS Milpitas, CVS Mountain View, CVS San Carlos, CVS Newark, CVS Cupertino, CVS Los Altos, CVS Sunnyvale, and CVS Saratoga–Sunnyvale districts.

Replacing signage for a national retailer isn’t just a matter of taking down old letters and installing new ones. Each CVS storefront sign, whether a set of LED channel letters, a monument panel, or pharmacy window graphics, must adhere to strict brand guidelines related to color, typography, illumination style, and placement. The updated CVS Pharmacy logo—clean, modern, and easily recognizable—requires precise fabrication to protect brand consistency.

Removing Old CVS Signs and Installing the New Logo

Every CVS location begins with a site survey to determine the existing conditions and the best approach for safe sign removal. Some locations, such as CVS San Bruno, CVS San Mateo, and CVS Redwood City, required high-reach lifts or complex access solutions due to sign placement on tall walls or busy shopping centers. Older signs, including the retired CVS old logo, had to be carefully detached without damaging the façade.

Next comes the fabrication stage. The new CVS signage package often includes:

Illuminated red channel letters
A refreshed CVS Pharmacy sign with updated fonts and spacing
Optional CVS custom banners for temporary branding
New door vinyls and pharmacy window graphics
Updated monument or pylon inserts for select stores

Many Bay Area locations—such as CVS Milpitas Pharmacy, CVS Newark Blvd, and CVS San Carlos Pharmacy—also required new face panels, LED retrofits, or upgraded illumination for improved nighttime visibility.

Permitting Across the Bay Area

City permitting is a major part of every rebranding project. Whether it’s Mountain View, Cupertino, Fremont, Newark, or Los Altos, each city has unique requirements for sign size, projection, illumination signs, and documentation. Our team managed all permit applications, engineering documents, and inspections to ensure the new CVS signs met city and state code requirements.

This turnkey service minimizes downtime for retail stores and helps CVS maintain brand continuity across all locations.

Why Updated Logo Signage Matters for Retail Brands

A refreshed logo is more than just a visual update—it signals trust, reliability, and consistency to the customer. For CVS, clear exterior signage helps visitors quickly locate:

Pharmacy services
Store entrances
Photo center access
Drive-thru pharmacy lanes (where applicable)

Upgraded LED illumination ensures visibility both day and night, especially in high-traffic locations such as CVS Sunnyvale, CVS Cupertino, and CVS Mountain View CA.
