Our Custom Signs in the Santa Clarita Valley

On this local service area page, we’ve showcased some of our favorite Santa Clarita, California signs, including ones we designed, made, and installed.

We’ll also share details about each sign type, the services we provided, and information about the businesses they represent.

Let’s get started!

The Valencia Marketplace Monument Sign

Monument signs like the one we made for Valencia Marketplace are the gold standard for shopping centers. They allow tenants to change or update their names without replacing the whole sign. 

It’s essential to design them to complement the mall’s architectural feel.

Finneys Crafthouse Restaurant Signs in Stevenson Ranch

Finney’s Crafthouse is a family-owned American tavern chain specializing in craft beer and made-from-scratch globally-inspired cuisine. 

After helping them develop sign programs for 11 locations from San Luis Obispo to Laguna Beach, we were excited to hear they are opening a new location in Stevenson Ranch.

Channel Letters

Each Finney’s location has signs with specific needs. 

Since their Stevenson Ranch location is in a shopping mall, it must be seen from a distance. We used channel letters so the business name would stand out day or night.

We installed channel letter signs outdoors on three sides. 

We added barn lighting to the sign facing the parking lot, which gives it an extra flare when you walk up.

Hand-Painted Signs

To give the building a more custom feel, we added a hand-painted “F logo” sign in the top corner, as seen from the parking lot.

There is also a black “F logo” graphic above the bar, only at the Stevenson Ranch location.

Neon Sign

Inside the restaurant, there is a neon sign with the tagline “Craft Beer Spoken Here.” This sign is in all their restaurants.

Toppers Pizza Place Restaurant Signs in Valencia & Canyon Country

Toppers Pizza Place in Canyon Country and Valencia are beloved local favorites that provide great pizza dining experiences with quality food, drinks, and service in a casual, dog-friendly atmosphere.

As Topper’s sign company, we’ve worked with them on all 10 locations to create inspiring signs with local style. 

Their Canyon Country and Valencia restaurants are no exception.

Toppers Pizza Place Valencia

Valencia has a clean and modern look with channel letter signs on the outside and hand-painted signs on the inside. Take a look!

Hand-Painted Signs

Toppers Pizza Canyon Country

The Canyon Country location is the former Homes and Land Bank building. They decided to keep the bank as a theme and highlighted some of its elements, like the vault, a safe, Dropbox, and other interesting items that weren’t removed but incorporated into the restaurant’s appeal.

Channel Letters

The building uses front and back channel letter signs and several hand-painted signs inside.

Design Masonry Neon Office Sign in Canyon Country

Design Masonry, Inc. is a well-known premier masonry contractor in California.

They came to us looking for a custom neon sign to add more wow factor inside their offices.

As one of California’s last few sign shops that creates custom-made neon signs in-house, they knew they had come to the right place.

GrowGeneration Sign Installation in Santa Clarita, CA

GrowGeneration runs specialty stores for organic gardening and hydroponics, providing various growing solutions.

When GrowGeneration took over Commercial Grow Supply in Santa Clarita, they had us put up custom graphic signs in their new store. 

These signs were “ship-ins,” meaning a sign company from outside the area hired us to install them at the new Santa Clarita location.

Sunrise Senior Living Post and Panel Sign in Valencia

Sunrise at Sterling Canyon offers a personalized, wellness-focused lifestyle for its assisted living and memory care residents in Valencia.

They needed a simple yet attractive post-and-panel sign to guide drivers into their entryway, which needed to match the other signs on the property.

Want More Details on Sign Materials? Here You Go…

Here we go into more detail about building sign materials.

Acrylic and Plexiglas: These are popular for interior and exterior signs because they offer a clean, modern look and are durable against many weather conditions. They can be used for illuminated signs, directory signs, and more.

Aluminum and Metal Alloys: Lightweight and rust-resistant, aluminum is frequently used for outdoor signage. It can be painted or laminated for protection and aesthetics. Dibond, a type of aluminum composite, is another commonly used material.

Vinyl: Often used for banners, wall graphics, and window decals. It’s flexible and can be printed on, making it a versatile choice for various applications.

Wood: Wooden signs offer a rustic and natural appearance. Depending on the type of wood and treatments applied, they can be quite durable. Redwood and cedar are often used for their resistance to decay.

MDO (Medium Density Overlay): A weather-resistant plywood used for outdoor signs. Its smooth overlay is ideal for painting, making it cost-effective and popular, especially in the construction industry.

Polycarbonate and Lexan: These are tough materials often used for illuminated sign faces because of their durability and ability to diffuse light.

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): A lightweight and versatile plastic material used for both indoor and outdoor signs. Sintra is a popular brand of PVC sheeting used in sign-making.

LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes): With the rise of digital and electronic signage, LEDs are increasingly used for illuminated signs, message boards, and digital displays. They are energy-efficient and can be used in a variety of settings.

Fabric: Used primarily for banners, canvas prints, flags, and trade show displays. It’s lightweight and can be printed on with vibrant colors.

Concrete: A durable material often molded or precast for signs. It can be combined with metal or acrylic details, and its appearance varies from modern to rustic. Its weight ensures stability but requires careful installation.

Stone: A variety of natural materials like granite, slate, limestone, and marble, often engraved or sandblasted. Used for elegant monuments and entrances, stone signs are durable, weather-resistant, and vary in cost based on type.

Main Factors to Keep in Mind

When choosing a material for a sign, it’s crucial to consider the specific needs of the project. Factors like aesthetics, location(indoor vs. outdoor), desired lifespan, and budgetshould all influence the material choice.

Everything You Need to Know About Building Sign Design

Working with an experienced sign company with a high-level in-house design department will ensure you get the signs you are looking for.

Professional graphic designers can assist customers in creating custom signs and banners, providing valuable insights into current design trends, branding, and typography.

They control the entire process from start to finish, so there is no guesswork if the sign can be built as designed. They already know sign fabrication, installation requirements, and city compliance.

Here are some of the main elements that go into designing building signs.

Crafting Your Brand’s Visual Voice with a Custom Sign

A sign is often the first thing a customer sees, which speaks volumes about your brand. It sets expectations and begins the customer experience before they walk through the door.

For new businesses, a sign is a chance to make a memorable introduction. For established brands, it’s an opportunity to reinforce recognition and trust.

Either way, investing in high-quality design that aligns with your brand’s identity and values is critical. It should reflect your business’s personality, whether professional and polished or quirky and fun.

Tailoring the Design to Location

Location plays a huge role in how your sign should be designed. A sign perched on a busy highwayneeds to be bold and simple so it can be read at high speeds. 

In a quaint shopping district, a sign might be more detailed and artisanal to reflect the surroundings. The environment influences materials, too. 

A beachfront businessmight choose materials resistant to rust and fading, while an urban storefrontmight need a sturdy sign to withstand the bustle of the city.

Striking the Right Balance

Your sign should stand out butnot stick out. The right design balances uniqueness with the environment and neighboring signage. It should capture attention for the right reasons—clear branding and legibility—not because it’s overly loud or cluttered.

Finding this balance means considering the font size, color contrast, and imagery that represents your brand effectively at a glance.

Compliance and Accessibility

Beyond looks, there are practical considerations. Your sign must meet local zoning laws, which may dictate size, lighting, and placement.

Accessibility is also key; it should be readable and understandable for everyone, including those with disabilities. This means considering height, color contrast, and possibly Braille for wayfinding signs.

Material Matters

Longevity is as important as immediate appeal. The materials for your sign should endure the local weather and the wear and tear of the environment.

Quality materials may cost more upfront but can save money and maintain a polished image over time.

Making a Lasting Impression

Ultimately, a well-designed sign is a long-term investment in your brand’s visibility and reputation. It’s not just about making a good first impression; it’s about creating a lasting one.
