Home Logo design and branding
Logo design for businesses that need signs
A logo has to work on a business card and on a 20-foot wall. We design logos and brand packages with the sign in mind from the first sketch.

Designed by people who build the signs
Plenty of logos look great on a screen and fall apart on a building. Thin lines disappear from across a parking lot, tiny details can't be cut from metal, and some colors look nothing like themselves once they're lit. Because we build signs, we design around all of that from the start.
We can create a logo from scratch, clean up the one you have, or build a full brand package with colors, fonts and simple rules for using them. You own the final files.
Because the same team designs the logo and builds the sign, nothing gets lost between the two. The colors you approve are the colors we light, and the shapes you sign off on are the shapes we cut, so your new logo can go straight onto a storefront, a vehicle and a business card.
What we design
New logos
A logo built from scratch around your name, your customers and everywhere it will appear.
Logo refreshes
An update to a dated logo that keeps the recognition you have earned.
Brand packages
Your logo in every format, plus a color palette, fonts and usage rules.
Business cards and stationery
Cards, letterhead and envelopes that match your signs.
Sketch to final
Some marks start on paper. We sketch, then refine the strongest idea digitally.
What makes a logo work on a sign
- Scale
- It has to read on a 2-inch card and a 20-foot sign, so every logo is built as vector art that scales cleanly.
- Distance
- Drivers get a few seconds. Strong contrast, simple shapes and readable type make the difference.
- Color
- LEDs, vinyl, paint and print all show color differently. We pick colors that hold up in each and give you Pantone, CMYK, RGB and HEX values.
- Fabrication
- Hairline strokes and tight gaps are hard and costly to cut. We design shapes that build well as channel letters, carved panels and flat-cut metal.

Logo design questions
How much does a logo cost?
It depends on scope. A refresh costs less than a full brand package. After a short conversation we will give you a written quote.
How long does it take?
Most projects take 2 to 4 weeks, depending on how many rounds of revisions you need. Faster timelines are possible.
What files will I get?
Vector files (AI, EPS, SVG and PDF) for signs and print, and PNG and JPG for screens. You also get full color, one color, reversed white and icon versions.
How many concepts will I see?
Usually 2 to 4 in the first round. You pick a direction and we refine it from there.
Do I own the logo?
Yes. Once the project is paid for, the logo and all the files are yours, with no licensing fees.
Can you work with the logo I already have?
Yes. We can clean it up for signs, modernize it, or rebuild it from a low-resolution file or an old printout if the originals are gone.
