Exterior Sign Types
- Channel letter signs: individually built, often illuminated letters mounted to your building for a bold storefront presence day and night.
- Dimensional letters & logo signs: raised letters and logos for a clean, professional building facade.
- Building & wall signs: durable panel signs mounted to your storefront, warehouse, or office building.
- Monument & ground signs: freestanding signs at your entrance that make a strong first impression.
- Pylon & pole signs: tall signs that help drivers spot your business from the road.
- Projecting & blade signs: signs that extend from your building so walking traffic can see you from down the sidewalk.
- Awning signs: branded awnings that add shade, style, and visibility to your entrance.
- Illuminated & digital signs: lighted signs and digital displays that keep your message visible after dark.
- Post-and-panel & site signs: entrance, directional, construction, and real estate site signs.
- Storefront window graphics: window graphics, lettering, and perforated window film that turn glass into advertising.

Materials & Options
Exterior signs have to stand up to Indiana weather: sun, rain, wind, and snow. Depending on the sign, we work with aluminum, aluminum composite panels, acrylic, PVC, corrugated plastic, and outdoor-rated vinyl and laminates, with LED lighting options for illuminated signs. We'll recommend materials based on your location, budget, and how long the sign needs to last. Every project starts with a design proof so you know exactly what to expect before production begins.
Choosing the Right Exterior Sign
- Visibility: how far away customers will be when they first see your sign, and whether they'll be driving or walking.
- Lighting: whether your business needs to be seen after dark.
- Location rules: most permanent signs need a permit, and many shopping centers and HOAs have their own sign guidelines. We help with the permit process.
- Permanent vs. temporary: a permanent building or monument sign, or temporary banners and yard signs for a grand opening or promotion.
- Budget: simple panel and vinyl signs can be very affordable, while illuminated, pylon, and digital signs are a larger investment.
