Creating Building Signs | Design Concept to Completion

One of the keys to success for any business is the company’s ability to produce quality products with great customer service in a timely manner.  Pinnacle lives by these tenets to continually strive to best the best sign provider possible for each of our clients.

We have consulted, designed, produced, and installed many variations of signage to give our customers the best options to increase their brand exposure.  Often, we have consulted with outside vendors to create the custom look needed to create the impact and visibility needs of our client’s signage.

3 C’s of Signage: Cut, Clarity, and CNC Signs

For years, many businesses had a sign shop to serve most of their business signage needs except for custom routed signage.  Often, like in the case of Pinnacle, the sign shop would still handle the details of the sign creation but would have to turn to a second party vendor to have the custom routing process handled for many monument signs, special exterior designs, and eye catching interior signage.  However, the cost of acquiring and providing in house CNC router services to our sign clients has become more cost efficient over the last few years.  It is no longer “outside the budget” for many of our clients.

The Life of a Sign Material – Temporary vs. Permanent Signage

Many building graphics are meant to last one year, but often stay up far longer. One of the biggest challenges for both the sign maker and the customer is to communicate is the lifetime a sign is expect to be used and will actually be used.

The perfect harmony of these two things all boil down to communication of whether your sign is a temporary vs. permanent signage solution for your business.

Channeling Your Clients through Channel Letters

As a consumer, we all see channel letters all the time.  However, most people outside of the sign industry don’t commonly use the words – Channel Letters.  Yet they are one of the most used type of signage for any business.
