Having the right business signage makes a big difference—it helps customers find you, sets the tone for your brand, and makes your company stand out to potential customers. Whether you’re a local shop, a medium-sized business among retail stores, or a corporate office, the right signs can boost your visibility and leave a lasting impression. At SpeedPro Barrie, we create custom signage solutions designed to fit your business needs. Here are the top types of business signs to consider:
Exterior Signs
Channel Letters
Channel letters are 3D, individually crafted letters mounted on a building. They’re a great option for businesses that want a professional, high-end look when it comes to outdoor signage. Many channel letter signs are illuminated, making them easy to read after dark. They can be lit from the front or back of the letters, creating different visual effects.
Pylon Signs
A pylon sign (or freestanding sign) is tall, often illuminated, and designed to be seen from a distance. You’ll find them outside shopping centres, gas stations, and major roadways. They help attract customers before they even reach your door.
Interior Signs
Wall Decals
Wall decals are a versatile and cost-effective type of signage used for branding, decoration, and communication. They are made using printed vinyl that is laminated for protection and then applied directly to walls or painted brick. Wall decals often highlight a business’s logo or brand, offering wayfinding and directions, promoting or advertising, or simply decorating a space with artwork or a motivational message. They can be designed with or without lots of colour and detail, and in any size or shape.
Exterior And Interior Signs
Wayfinding Signs
Lost customers aren’t happy customers. Wayfinding signage keeps people moving in the right direction. From directional signage in shopping malls to office directories, these signs improve the visitor experience. These are often fabricated using vinyl and acrylic and can be lit or non-lit.
Wayfinding signs can also be outside, such as parking signs, direction signs and accessibility signs. These are typically made of aluminum and are often mounted directly on a building or on a post which is driven into the ground. They are durable and made to withstand the elements.
Backlit Signs
Backlit signs are illuminated from behind with fluorescent or LED lights. The light shines through a translucent material such as acrylic, polycarbonate, or fabric, allowing for a vinyl print to be mounted on the face. This signage is versatile because it can be changed or updated from time to time with new branding. Backlit signs can be fabricated in different sizes, making them well-suited for branding or advertising of all types.
Window Graphics
Window graphics are an effective and eye-catching form of signage installed on glass such as storefronts and office windows. They serve both functional and decorative purposes, helping businesses enhance visibility, communicate messages, and even provide privacy. These graphics can be as simple as some visible text or full coverage, and in that case, it is often perforated window vinyl. This special vinyl has tiny holes which allow us to print a graphic on the outside, while still allowing the natural light to come through. Frosted vinyl can also be applied to create privacy.
Banners And Flags
Banners and flags are extremely versatile and can really deliver a lot of information and catch the eye. Both can be used indoors or outdoors and are available in many sizes, can be rolled up and stored, moved around to different locations, or can be used as permanent signage. Consider these for special events or for highlighting something important for your business.
Signs On The Go
Vehicle Wraps And Graphics
What better way to get the word out than while you are on the move or at a job site?! Vehicle wraps and graphics transform company vehicles into mobile billboards, making them one of the most effective and high-impact forms of business signage. By applying vinyl graphics or full wraps to cars, trucks, vans, and trailers, businesses can advertise their brand wherever they go.
