Architectural Signs
The term architectural covers a wide variety of styles, manufacture and materials. In a nut shell, we classify this type of sign as either branding (your company name on a shop or office) and permanent signs such as building gate signs, direction signs, information poster cases or anything free-standing (but permanently fixes).
Branding{title}{text}
Walk down any High Street and you will see a variety of styles and formats for shop branding. Large corporates such as Boots, have a house style that requires each store to be branded in an identical way, irrespective of the building type or construction. Older properties may have a restriction to only use wood rather than aluminium or plastic. In most circumstances, the design consists of a fascia made from either plasic or aluminium. On this is mounted your name, some other text and possibly a logo. There is a multitude of ways this can be designed and mounted, either cut vinyl, acrylics directly glued to the panel, or mounted a distance from the surface. The way the fascia is constructed greatly depends on the complexity of your logo and text style, the fascia of the shop or premises and how the new fascia will be built up. It is easier to look at existing stores to get an idea of the variety of types and designs and then decide on how you would like yours to look. Pricing depends on size and complexity as each project is bespoke.
Permanent Signs
Typically, most signs of this type are free-standing post and panel signs. However, it may not be a sign, it may be a poster box, map, information panel or display that needs to be well constructed of rigid materials. We have extensive experience of designing and building this type of sign system. However, whatever you need, come and talk to us first. We will help you and guide you, but overall, you will find our prices exceptionally good.
