Signage for a New Commercial Tenant: What to Plan Before You Open

You've signed the lease. The interior drawings are moving. Contractors are starting work. Furniture has been ordered. The website is being updated. Opening day suddenly feels real. Then someone asks, “What are we doing for the sign?” That's much later than signage should enter the conversation. Permanent commercial signage can involve: • Landlord approval • Site measurements • Design • Existing-sign removal…...

There’s something about seeing a brand come to life at this scale 👌

Recently completed for Floral Express in Woodstock, Ontario.

For this project, we produced & installed a complete dimensional signage package designed to work with the architecture of the building, not compete against it.

The depth of the dimensional logo & lettering, the contrast against the dark fascia, and even the shadows created throughout the day all became part of the finished look.

These are the projects we love taking on at Elevated Signs. Big buildings, challenging installs & signage that becomes part of the architecture.

From design & fabrication through installation, we’re proud to help businesses bring their brand into the built environment.

Another one we're really happy to have our name behind.

Reface, Retrofit or Replace? What to Do With an Existing Business Sign

Your business is rebranding. You've moved into a commercial unit with the previous tenant's sign still installed. Your pylon looks dated. Half the sign isn't illuminating properly. The acrylic faces are faded. Or maybe the sign still works, but it simply doesn't represent the business anymore. The first assumption is often: “We need a new sign.” Sometimes you do. But not always....

One brand. Multiple locations. Consistent ex*****on.

We’ve had the opportunity to work alongside True North on their rebrand across Ontario, bringing the new look to life across multiple locations through complete signage packages.

This Strathroy location has always been one of our favourites. The architecture gave us the opportunity to build signage that feels like it belongs on the building, while still carrying the True North identity consistently with the rest of their locations.

From fascia signage & custom blade signs to interior signage, graphics & complete location packages, this is the type of work we love taking on.

Whether it’s one location or a full multi-location rollout, our team can handle the process from design & production through permitting, coordination & installation.

Another True North location in the books. 📍 Strathroy, Ontario.

Face-Lit vs. Halo-Lit Channel Letters: Which Is Better for Your Business?

If you're considering illuminated channel letters for a storefront or commercial building, one of the first decisions is usually: Should the letters be face-lit or halo-lit? Both use individual dimensional letters or logo elements. Both can provide excellent nighttime identification. Both can be built around custom colours, fonts & branding. But the finished appearance is completely different. The simple difference is:...

Commercial Wayfinding Signage: A Planning Guide for Property Managers

Commercial Wayfinding Signage: A Planning Guide for Property Managers Good wayfinding signage should feel almost invisible. A visitor enters the property, understands where they need to go & reaches their destination without stopping to think about the signs guiding them there. Bad wayfinding works differently. Visitors miss entrances. Delivery drivers end up behind the wrong building. Customers park in the wrong lot....

A storefront should look like the business behind it.

We worked with ZBTFD Records in downtown Brantford to carry their brand across the entire storefront with custom wall & window graphics. From the oversized exterior branding to the window lettering & interchangeable event graphics, every piece works together without taking away from the character of the building.

Really happy with how this one came together. 👌

How Big Should My Business Sign Be? Letter Height, Viewing Distance & Road Speed Explained

One of the most common questions we hear when planning commercial signage is: “How big should our sign be?” The answer isn't simply: Make it as large as the building allows. A sign can be physically large & still perform poorly. At the same time, a beautifully designed sign can become almost useless if the lettering is too small for the distance from which customers actually see it....

Pylon Signs vs. Monument Signs: Which Is Right for Your Commercial Property?

If your business or commercial property needs signage near the road, two of the most common options are pylon signs & monument signs. Both are freestanding ground signs. Both can identify a business or property before customers reach the building. Both can be illuminated, customized & designed around your brand. But they serve very different purposes. The biggest difference is simple:...

🔥 This came together really clean. 🔥

We wrapped the lower portion of this vehicle for Nose to Toes with custom printed graphics that carry their branding across the full profile without making it feel overdone.

The blue works perfectly against the white body & the finished result is hard to miss from just about any angle.

Really happy with how this one turned out.
