A lot of planning goes into commercial signs and their installation process. Besides having to comply with the city codes, these signs must also be in compliance with the master sign plan (or sign criteria) established for the site. Here is a recent example of a signage project we completed for Starbucks in Santa Clara that had to meet various …
As national name brands expand and open new locations, they’ll need locally licensed sign companies to help them with their signage. This partnership includes providing site surveys, permitting, fabrication, and installation services. Here is a recent project we completed for Sprint. The scope included surveys, permit work with the city, installation, and final inspection. Please see some completion photos below. …
Some projects require tight coordination between different trades. In a typical sign installation which is usually on a stucco or brick wall, no coordination is needed. But other building finishes like glass or decorative aluminum panels require coordination with each supplier so that the sign can be installed appropriately on each surface type. Here is an example of a recent …
Retail businesses represent a good portion of the signs and graphics we make. These could range from window graphics, banners, to fully illuminated building and monument signs. The retail businesses that have a national presence also have more stringent guidelines for their signs and graphics. They typically produce style guides that companies like us would follow to correctly manufacture or …
When a business moves into a new location, they usually need all new signs. But not always. Sometime we are able to move their old sign to the new location. The sign will obviously need to be refurbished but that may be more cost-effective that building a new one from scratch. Case and point; Flooring America. In this case the …
We are excited when new businesses open in the South Bay. New businesses are an indication of a good and vibrant local economy. We were approached by Float Station’s architect (and GC) to help build a sign for their new location in Campbell. We worked diligently on the design of the halo-lit LED channel letters and the permit process. Once …
Once again a corporate merger/acquisition results in a whole new logo change for a company in the valley. Pericom became Diodes. This project posed some unique technical challenges. The new logo had to be fabricated as individual letters and installed in a flat manner even though the main building fascia was curved with custom brushed aluminum paneling. We spent a …
For businesses that operate after dusk, an illuminated sign is very important for visibility. This is especially true if the business is tucked away in the corner or back of the strip mall or business complex. Century 21 Real Estate is well-known around the Bay Area. But a well-lit and visible sign greatly helps with guiding clients to their office. …
We were brought into this project through one of our construction partners. Part of the way through the design phase Fabrinet decided to work with us directly. The project consisted of replacing two old existing monuments with more contemporary looking signs, design and manufacture an illuminated building sign, and also a non-illuminated lobby sign. All signs were to match the …
So here is another one of those well-known restaurants that we’ve worked with. Getting a national company to trust you with their signage work locally means that you have the know-how and the ability to handle such projects. The Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen illuminated sign project was part of a build-out of this site in the south bay. It required full …
Certain businesses are better candidates for illuminated signs than others. Restaurants in particular can benefit from illuminated signs especially those which operate after dusk. Creating custom logos with illumination requires high levels of skill in fabrication. Signs Unlimited has the ability to create just about any type of illuminated channel letters. Here is an example of a very custom illuminated …

We worked with the architect and developed a full submittal or design package for all the signage. The structural designs on a couple of signs evolved in …
