Signs — Indoor & Outdoor Commercial Sign Types | SOC

Business signs work best when they are selected for the place, audience and message. Exterior identification helps customers recognize a building or entrance. Interior signs help visitors find their destination and connect the space with your brand. SOC helps turn those needs into a coordinated signage scope.

Signs for the outside of your property

Consider how people approach the site, what blocks their view and when the sign needs to be visible. Building letters, illuminated signs and rigid panels serve different purposes. The building surface, available space, property requirements and local approvals influence the final design. A photograph taken from the customer's approach can reveal issues that a close-up image misses.

Signs inside your building

Lobby logos, reception signs, directional signs and room identification should work together without overwhelming the space. Review viewing distance, lighting, wall finish and the needs of the people using the building. When regulated identification or accessibility requirements apply, confirm those requirements for the project rather than assuming a decorative sign satisfies them.

Build a coordinated sign program

For a new location or rebrand, list the customer journey from arrival through the interior. Identify signs to retain, replace or add, then review dimensions, colors and mounting details together. For multiple locations, separate shared brand standards from conditions unique to each property. SOC can coordinate make-and-ship work or a broader service scope through our nationwide veteran contractor network.
