Custom Business Sign Options from ShieldCo

When you work with ShieldCo for your custom metal sign, the opportunities are endless. We can use different materials: steel, brass, copper, corten, or our company wide favorite, aluminum. You can choose from hundreds of colors, or we can pick the colors that match your logo. We can create flat business signs, or our favorite ones, 3D metal business signs with multiple layers.

Through the thousands of signs that we've created, we have identified five main categories that most signs fall under. Browse through the following options to help you determine the best fit for your business needs:

#1) Single layer business signs
#2)Single layer with Back Panel (2 layers)
#3) Multi layer sign - our signature style
#4) Individual lettering
#5) Multi layer + Individual lettering

 

Option 1 - Single layer business sign

This option cuts out all lettering to expose the wall behind the business sign. It’s a simple design but still impactful. We can use our
typical french cleat on the back of the metal sign for easy installation or we can use stainless steel standoffs if required. If we add framework to the back of the sign, we can add custom lighting.

OPTION 2 - Single layer sign with back panel

Similar to option #1, this version adds a panel behind your business sign to provide added contrast. It adds depth and visual interest to the custom metal signs, and is the first true step into the “3D” realm. The front layers cast shadows on the back panel bringing the metal sign to life. As with all our business signs, you can add custom lighting for even greater impact.

Option 3 - multi layer
Our Signature Style

This is the type of business sign you need when looking to make a great first impression. We strive to create the highest quality business signs in order to match the caliber of your company’s products and services.

This sign features your logo and/or lettering precisely cut out and layered off of the back panel to give depth and texture. We take the time to analyze your custom logo and understand how to transform it into a piece of art.

Our customers love these metal signs because every part is attached to one backer panel, making it extremely easy to hang. Installation can take as little as 10 minutes.

Option 4 - Individual lettering

The best popular option for when your wall color or texture contributes to the overall aesthetic of your business signage.

This type of metal sign separates each part of your logos to be hung as individual pieces. We provide a foolproof template to drill each individual hole on the wall with precision. The end result is a sleek professional sign.

Option 5 - multi layer sign + individual lettering combo

Sometimes a blend of these two options creates the best impact.

Individual lettering mounted to your wall plus our signature layered custom logo adds an artistic element that really stands out.

The installation process is made easy by providing the template for placement of each hole to be drilled and ready to mount multi layer logo on the wall. This ensures a foolproof installation that leaves you with a polished look to match your company business standards.

Lighted Business Sign Options

Our lit signs are made to look exactly the same as our other metal signature pieces until you turn on the controller, and amp up the impact. Illuminated sign choices fall under a couple of categories:

#1 Negative cut-out

#2 Signature 3D style with lighting

#3 Box style with 3D lettering or logo

#1 Negative cut-out - simple design that goes great if you have an accent wall behind it to compliment the custom sign and lighting. 

#2 Signature 3D style with lighting - Our 3D style with lighting attached to the back of various layers, by far our most popular lighted metal sign.

#3 Box style sign with 3D Lettering or Logo - Similar to our Signature style, with the difference being that the sides don't have any light coming out, like the name suggests it's boxed in.

Custom metal business signage for the Brooklyn Nets

Custom metal business signage for the Brooklyn Nets

BROOKLYN NETS, BROOKLYN, NEW YORK

When the Brooklyn Nets contacted us late on a Friday in February of 2016, they said that they loved our metal signs and that they needed two new signs for their practice facility in Brooklyn, NY in a little less than two weeks. We worked with the manager at the Nets, creating mockups for their review over the weekend, and sealed the deal the following Monday. We delivered on time and hung the commercial signage for their opening ceremony.

PEPSICO, DENVER, COLORADO

Pepsi was renovating their office space in Denver, Colorado and wanted new custom metal signage that would update the space to make it look modern and fresh. On the first call with the facilities manager we presented 3D models of our vision of the signs which were perfectly inline with what the company was looking for. We worked diligently with our supplier of powder coats to find the perfect color match for the Pepsi brand and then we started production. We laser cut, powder coated, assembled and shipped the custom metal signage for Pepsi to their office. Within two hours of receiving the package the new business signs was flawlessly installed on their wall.

Metal Signage for Concrete General in the Washington DC Metro Area

CONCRETE GENERAL - GAITHERSBURG, MD

The client had a great looking logo that they wanted to update to something more impressive. After working directly with the client on developing the logo, the client had the suggestion of putting ball peen hammered copper as the back panel for the custom metal signage. This was the perfect suggestion! The hammered copper is unique and regal and will be a focal point of the office for years to come. This metal sign is the truly perfect entry way sign for an office or commercial building.
