Seeking Stylish Impact?

What do the Las Vegas Strip and New York’s Broadway have in common? Lots of neon signs! Bright lights are synonymous with high impact…but they may not be appropriate for your particular business. What, then, can you do to generate maximum impact with your signage?

Edge-lit frames, powered by bright and energy-efficient LEDs, are one of the newest technologies available to make a strong statement without veering into the neighborhood of garish. These slim signs will stylishly show off your logo, or any graphic or image, providing eye-catching illumination, day and night.

If you’re ready to think outside the box with custom illuminated signage, let us be your guide. The process starts with a site survey and discussion of your needs, including what you’re seeking to accomplish with your signs, before we provide our expert recommendation.

Creating elegant illumination has never been so easy, and it’s a great reflection on you!

The San Diego Municipal Code has a lengthy section relating to signs

Let’s say you own your business and are interested in putting up some signs to drive customers to your location. Great idea, but be sure to do your homework before you start designing or ordering any signage. The San Diego Municipal Code has a lengthy section relating to signs within Article 2: General Development Regulations, and you may also need to adhere to any restrictions placed on your business by your landlord, business park or shopping center.

For instance, in San Diego it’s unlawful to:

  •  Place, post, paint or secure any sign, pennant, flag, banner, balloon, or similar attention-seeking device on public property or within the public right-of-way unless provided in the Municipal Code or specific state statute
  •  Place any lettering, card, poster, or notice of any kind on any curb, sidewalk, street, pole, post, utility box, hydrant, bridge, tree, building, or other surface that is located on public property or in the public right-of-way unless provided in the Municipal Code or specific state statute
  • Display any sign without the required Sign Permit Sticker

Do you feel like you need a lawyer to ensure you stay within the boundaries of the law? Not to worry, it’s not necessary to rack up attorney’s fees before you place signage outdoors, but you do want to rely on someone with experience addressing any legal and permit requirements. Since signs are our business, we can provide counsel (but we certainly don’t offer any legal advice).
