Are Your Exterior Signs "Healthy"?

2012-01-23T14:05:00.000-08:00

Recently we installed all new exterior signs for the La Maestra Family Community Health Clinic in City Heights, and it brings to mind whether your exterior signage is "healthy" or "sick"?

The new signs at La Maestra Health Clinic includes several different types of exterior signage:

1. Vibrantly painted panel signs with vinyl graphics applied to "welcome" visitors from a distance, and for easy location of the building.

2. Stainless steel channel letters mounted in two ways to best use the building's architecture: bottom-mounted to stand tall in an opening above a walkway, and mounted directly to the building face.

3. Illuminated light box, with push-through letters to welcome visitors both day and night.

What makes this new signage "healthy" is simple - the clinic is easily identifiable from all sides of the building and street views.

Take a walk around your property or space and pretend to be a new visitor. Can your sign be seen from the street, are visitors welcomed with a sign that grabs their attention, does your sign need illumination, or some new color? Maybe a Rx for some new signs, or updated signage is just what your business needs!

300 lbs of Stainless Steel

2011-10-14T10:31:00.000-07:00

What is a sign company to do when a manufacturer of stainless steel tubing approaches them about new signs for their building and monument; do you offer them aluminum panels... or do you offer them stainless steel - the latter of course! So was the case with one of our recent sign fabrication and install jobs.

The result - 2 crisp and clean building panels, as well as panels for their double-sided monument. These signs are not intricate, but they make a bold statement. The stainless steel was polished to reveal a horizontal grain, and the vibrant dark and red vinyl, accented with white copy, provided just enough color to compliment the stainless steel without "steeling" its spotlight.

It's our job to make sure your company's re-branding process is a smooth and simple experience for you. Whether it's four 300lb stainless steel panels, or a simple tenant sign, our company can help you through every stage. Miramar Sign Works is insured and bonded, our installers are saftey trained and certified with over 20 years experience in the industry.

Call our office today at 858-566-3010 and let one of our Account Executives help you with your image - is it time for a new one?

Suspended Signs

2011-08-12T14:46:00.000-07:00

Suspended signs are an eye-catching option and can work well in all spaces:

A restaurant nestled in a downtown San Diego hotel wanted a sign for the lobby. It needed to bring attention to the restaurant, and compliment the beautiful architectural elements such as the paneled walls and crown moulding. A clear acrylic sign with vinyl and digital graphics that pop with color was the perfect fit. The acrylic has a polished edge for the extra shine, and the edge grippers used in the suspension are a satin finished aluminum.

A corporate office in San Diego moving into a new space wanted a custom sign for their reception area. The suspended sign is seen from both the reception area and conference center. The perfect solution was a double-sided brushed aluminum sign with a dimensional logo on each side. The tricky install required exact precision for centering the sign in the interior window.

If you are interested in a suspended sign for your space, contact Miramar Sign Works & Graphics - we won't leave you hanging!

Bold Colors for your Office Space

2011-04-15T11:38:00.000-07:00

This beautiful sign for Jacob Tyler is an example of how signage can compliment your interior design. These dimensional letters are acrylic with a brushed aluminum laminate applied to the face and metallic paint for the edge finish. This gives the look and feel of solid brushed aluminum, without the weight or cost. Their bold interior colors are reflected in the letters, giving depth and dimension to their sign.

Our sales staff can work with you to create the best look for your reception or lobby, inviting customers into your space with a splash of color! Options for interior signage are limitless, and we can work in any budget.

It's Time to Evaluate Your Signage

2009-10-16T18:00:00.000-07:00

Signage is often overlooked, but what does your sign say about your company...

Do you look open for business?
Welcoming to customers?
Is your sign easy to read and spot from the road?

Signage can help answer the following questions:

What type of business are you?
Who are you trying to reach?
Is your business thriving?

A little cosmetic work can refresh your business. A decaying or fading sign reflects poorly upon a business. First impressions are key and you only have one opportunity to make them. Have you considered a sign face lift?

A business with no sign, is a sign of no business! Without a sign:

Your business has no identity
A lack of business traffic

Miramar Sign Works & Graphics will work within your budget to help you form the identity you're looking for. Don't go another day without signage, or a sign face lift!

Does Your Monument Need a Facelift?

2009-04-05T13:43:00.000-07:00

Everything ages with time, including signage! During this economic downturn, we are finding that many of our customers want their business to have an affordable and effective "face lift" and refurbishing or replacing signage is a perfect way to accomplish this.

Delta Designs came to Miramar Sign Works & Graphics seeking to refurbish their monument sign. We provided a redesign, fabricated the changes and provided the installation.

Before, the darker letters on the monument face blended in with the surrounding foliage, and some of the lettering was so small it was hard to see, or read:

After, the results are dramatic! The lighter blue color helps the letters pop off the face of the monument, and the redesign enlarged the lettering and numbers that were harder to read before. Even from a distance, the brighter blue color brings the monument to life and is much easier to see than before:

If you are looking for a way to give your company an affordable "face lift", think about refurbishing, replacing or totally redoing your signage! We will be happy to help you come up with a plan that fits within your budget.

Digital Printing Campaigns

2009-03-06T10:22:00.000-08:00

What is a Digital Printing Campaign? We would define it as the banners and posters we printed for Destination Concepts over the last couple of months.

One of our customers, Destination Concepts, needed a large amount of posters and banners, for indoor and outdoor use, to advertise upcoming seminars all over Southern California. This was a job for one of their clients.

We produced high quality banners and posters, and we made our customer's job easier by offering to drop-ship the posters and banners directly to the location of the seminar.

Destination Concepts turned to Miramar Sign Wo rks & Graphics - not only because our price was right - but because we could offer less than a one week turn around if needed. The next time you need a large number of banners or posters, for indoor or outdoor use, think of Miramar Sign Works & Graphics - we strive to make your life easier, your signs beautiful and to finish your project on time!
