How to choose a business sign

Three questions narrow it down fast:

  1. Where does it go? Over the door (a storefront sign or channel letters), at the street (a monument or pylon sign), inside (a lobby sign) or on glass (window graphics).
  2. Does it need to light up? If you're open after dark, lit letters or a lightbox read at night. In the City of LA, lit signs need an electrical sign permit filed by a C-10 or C-45 licensed contractor.
  3. What does your landlord allow? Many centers have sign criteria that set the type, size and color. Ask for them early.

Still not sure? Send a photo and we'll suggest custom signage options that fit your wall and your city's rules. Need a layout as well as a sign? See our sign design services.

Business sign questions

Still deciding? Call (818) 806-9006 or text a photo and ask.

What's the difference between channel letters and a lightbox?
Channel letters are separate 3D letters, each lit on its own. A lightbox is one lit cabinet with a printed face. Letters read as part of the building; a lightbox usually costs less for the same size and is easy to reface. See channel letter signs for how they're built.
Which signs need a permit in Los Angeles?
In the City of LA, a new sign, a change to a sign, a lit sign, removing a sign and temporary banners usually need a permit. A new face on an existing cabinet usually doesn't. Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena have their own rules.
Who installs the sign and files the permit?
A licensed sign-contractor partner. We design and fabricate the sign, prepare the drawings and coordinate the work. Your quote lists the installer's CSLB license number.
Can you match my brand colors?
Yes. We match with colored acrylic, translucent vinyl and painted metal, and confirm the colors with you before anything is made. Lit colors look different from unlit ones, so we show both when it matters.
Do you make banners and A-frame signs?
Yes, through Angels Print, the print shop in the same building. Banners, A-frame inserts, magnets and boards are ordered at angelsprint.com.
