College campuses can be very large and spread out. So directory signs are critical in helping students get around efficiently. Some monument signs such as those for Foothill College have very specific build requirements for construction. This also includes a tree pattern and color schemes that are very unique to them. We recently completed a project that involved several directory …
Hope Services is well known in the Bay Area. They have many locations and of course different signs and graphics requirements. We’ve been working with them on a recent logo update for many of their sites all the way south to Salinas. Here is another set of signs we recently completed for the Mountain View office. This particular project involved …
We had talked about regular name and logo changes due to acquisitions among the high tech companies in the valley here. It is notable that these logo changes also happen for non-profits. Hope Services recently went through a major update of their logo. This resulted in many new signs and graphics for all their locations around the Bay Area. We …
A new business tenant moves in? No problem. We got you covered. This is the advantage of working with and knowing commercial property’s sign standards or requirements. Signs Unlimited works with many commercial and residential property management firms in the Bay Area to create specific signage solutions for each site. The scope of work generally ranges from monument signs to …
It happens like clockwork. Another merger resulting in new signs and graphics. STS recently became Watlow. We had worked with STS locally in the past. But this time we worked with Watlow’s national company representative to implement the project here in the South Bay. The scope of work included new lobby signs, door logo graphics, and new custom fitted monument …
Large banks change their site signs or graphic regularly. This is sometimes due to new regulations, new interest rates, or local city codes. We usually work with national sign companies or project management firms to produce and install signage for large banks at their local branches. Here is a recent example of a pole and monument signs we completed for …
We’ve talked about companies changing names due to mergers and acquisitions before. But occasionally business parks change names too. Instead of replacing the property’s monument signs completely due to the new name or logo, the owners may choose to simply refurbish or update the existing ones (if feasible). Case and point; Menlo Park Labs. Working with their property management company, …
We really like working with property management companies. We get the opportunity to work with many of their tenant companies and create unique signs based on their corporate logos and style guides. Recently we completed a project that involved several new company logos for the property’s campus monuments. A wide range of designs and colors. The signs had to meet …
As a longtime partner of Foothill College, we’ve fabricated and installed hundreds of signs at the campus over the years. But as with anything in life, the signs age and require updating once in a while. Foothill College has very custom graphics, background colors, and special fabrication requirements that need to be factored in the designs. Signs Unlimited has perfected …
We’ve talked about monument signs for business parks that have multiple tenants. Some of these monument bases are built when the buildings themselves are constructed. As new tenants move in, they simply add their names to the monument. Signs Unlimited has designed and built many custom signs for existing monuments as well as building brand new monuments. There are many …
Imagine this scenario. Your business has changed names, suite numbers, or have something else that requires your directory monuments to be updated. A new directory monument takes several weeks to complete especially if a city permit is required. So a great temporary solution would be to cover the existing directories with the new information while the new signs are being …
Some of the strip malls in the Bay Area were built over decades ago. So an occasional upgrade is always a good idea for a fresh look and more visibility for the shopping center’s business tenants. Cedar Tree Plaza recently went through a major renovation which obviously included the addition of new signs. The signage scope of work included new …
We had talked about JDSU, a staple in the high-tech Silicon Valley splitting into two companies. Viavi and Lumentum. We discussed the project for Viavi in a previous post. The bigger portion of this split (in terms of locations and signage) was Lumentum. Again we were there with our client as one element of their transition from early on. The …
As we’ve mentioned before, you don’t need a brand new directory monument when new tenants move in. These days we can cost-effectively update monuments with new tenant names and logos without structurally changing the sign. Using digital print graphics and appropriate paneling material (substrates) this can be accomplished with any budget. Here is an example of a recent monument we …
When a company moves to a new location, one of the first things they need is new signage. If the move is local, it is sometimes possible to relocate some of their existing signs as long as the new location allows it. This relocation is more doable with lobby signs as opposed to building or monument signs. These signs usually …
In a business complex tenants move in and out on a regular basis. So obviously the suite names and directories also need to be updated to reflect the new names. The focus of this blog is the external monument directories as opposed to suite names or lobby signs. There are many different ways to accomplish this. Some monuments have removable …
Monument signs are sometimes intimidating to new businesses. They are more substantial and cost more than other types of sign in some cases. But many new business parks or strip malls around the Bay Area already have built-in directory structures as part of the initial construction. So a new business simply needs to add their name and logo to their …
