Commercial tenants move in and out of business complexes regularly. This means that the property signage needs to be updated to reflect the new tenant names. Monument signs for multi-tenant complexes are usually designed to accommodate new business names easily. Some more than others. Here is an example of a monument sign we recently refurbished for a property management company …
Some monument signs may have more than one company name on them. And when they move out or change names, only part of the monument has to be updated. Based on how the monument is fabricated, this may not be as straight forward. But here is a case where we were able to design the new company name lettering in …
Community centers in each town may be used for different events and activities. They may also get funding from various entities which sometimes results in putting their name on the primary signs at that location. Here is an example of a job we recently completed for the City of San Jose. This job involved creating a new custom face for …
In business complexes when a new tenant moves in many of the signs have to be updated as well. The new business will most-likely want their company name and logo to be prominently displayed for the customers. Here is an example of a project we recently completed for Foxconn. The scope of work was to create new dimensional signage for …
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 …
There are no limits to the variation in styles and color schemes when it comes to corporate logos. Some logos are better suited for printing. But others can be made into three dimensional objects or lettering. As tenants move in and out of business parks, we get involved in creating new logo signage for them. Here is a recent sign …
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 …
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, …
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 …
Here we are with another change of ownership for a Silicon Valley company. Symantec spun off their Veritas business to an investment group. As we’ve done many times before over the years Signs Unlimited was contracted to replace the signage at the campus from Symantec to Veritas. The initial phase of this transition was completed recently. The scope of work …
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. This is always good news for companies such as Signs Unlimited that are part of these transitions. Intersect ENT had grown so they expanded their footprint within the same …
As company name changes and splits continue in the valley, we are there with them as one element of their transition. JDSU, which is one of the staples of the high tech industry in the Silicon Valley recently split into two and renamed itself VIAVI Solutions (and Lumentum). The campus-wide name and logo changes were a major undertaking. Signs Unlimited …
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 …
So we’ve talked about company acquisitions and name changes in the past. The scope of work after one of these transactions differs based on the size of the business. More specifically their buildings or campus environments. In these situations there are several categories of sign that must be updated. These include the Lobby, monument, entry graphics, shipping and receiving, individual …
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 …
