Commercial Sign Design and Fabrication, Built Around Your Mission

A sign has a job to do: make a brand recognizable, help people find a location and withstand the conditions of its installation. SOC coordinates custom commercial sign design and fabrication for entrepreneurs, facility operators, sign companies and national accounts.

Plan the Sign Before Production

Strong fabrication starts with the right field information. Our estimating and production coordination process reviews existing artwork, sign dimensions, materials, illumination, mounting surfaces, project locations and local approval requirements. For a replacement sign, we also want photographs of the existing equipment and a clear statement of what is being retained. An accurate scope reduces rework, change orders and installation surprises.

Custom Sign Types and Construction

Programs may include channel letters, illuminated cabinets, dimensional logos, flat-cut or fabricated metal letters, acrylic letters, monument signs, pylon faces, storefront identification, wall graphics, directories and wayfinding. We coordinate material selection around visual intent and real project conditions. Final substrate, finish, lighting, construction and mounting details depend on the selected sign system and approved production drawings.

  • Channel letters (face-lit, halo-lit, non-illuminated)
  • Illuminated sign cabinets
  • Dimensional logos and flat-cut metal letters
  • Acrylic and fabricated letters
  • Monument and pylon sign faces
  • Storefront identification
  • Wall graphics and directories
  • Wayfinding and directional signs

Artwork, Proofs and Approvals

We encourage clients to submit vector logos, Pantone or other documented color standards, existing sign drawings and brand guidelines. A project proof should show dimensions, materials, copy, colors, illumination and installation assumptions as applicable. Production begins only after the appropriate approval process is complete. For repeat corporate programs, approved artwork and component standards can be organized into a reusable signage specification library.

Manufacture, Ship or Install

SOC can coordinate fabrication and ship signs to a customer-selected installer, work behind the scenes for another sign company or manage an agreed installation scope. On full-service projects, site surveys, permit coordination, installer access, freight delivery and closeout documentation are planned with the actual site rather than assumed. Need 1 sign or 100 sites? Bring us the mission.
