Choosing an Electric or Light-Up Sign Format

The right format depends on where the sign will be mounted, how people will view it, and what it needs to communicate. We work with you to understand the location, viewing distance, brand presentation, and message before developing a tailored sign solution.

Depending on the site and project requirements, formats used for illuminated signage may include:

Channel letters: Individually formed letters or logos with illumination incorporated into the construction.
Cabinet signs: Enclosed structures with internal lighting and a sign face that displays graphics or lettering.
Light box signs: Illuminated enclosures that present a business name, logo, or other visual message.
LED and neon: Lighting technologies with different visual characteristics, construction requirements, and maintenance considerations.

We can shape the wording and visual presentation once the project direction is clear. Electric signs are part of our broader Custom Banners, Signs & Graphics offerings, so the finished sign can fit your broader brand system.

Planning an Illuminated Sign in Colorado Springs

We can guide your project from the initial consultation through design and installation, coordinating the connected stages as work moves forward.

A typical project path may include:

Consultation: We discuss the property, message, visibility goals, and available brand materials.
Content and design: We develop the wording and visual direction for the sign.
Site review and permit support: We evaluate the proposed location and address applicable sign review requirements.
Installation: We provide installation services for the completed sign project.

Local sign requirements are an important part of planning. The City of Colorado Springs adopted Sign Ordinance No. 26-01 in February 2026, replacing its prior sign code. Permits are required for major sign types, including wall, freestanding, and electronic signs. The ordinance prohibits rotating, flashing, or intermittent lighting, as well as lighting that creates safety hazards. Its sign-type criteria table also prohibits illuminated signs for office and civic uses adjacent to residential uses.

Outdoor Illuminated Sign Durability & Maintenance

Exterior signs are exposed to sunlight, temperature changes, wind, moisture, and airborne debris. Material selection, enclosure construction, mounting, and access to internal components can affect the durability and serviceability of an outdoor illuminated sign.

Periodic inspections should account for:

Lighting components that are dim, inconsistent, or no longer operating.
Electrical connections with visible signs of wear or exposure.
Sign faces and exterior graphics affected by dirt, fading, or physical damage.
Mounting hardware and attachment points that have loosened or deteriorated.

Maintenance helps preserve legibility, illumination, and the condition of exterior graphics. During planning, we can account for materials, mounting conditions, access, and other requirements through coordinated planning and our installation services.

What Shapes an Electric Sign Quote

Electric sign costs vary because each property and design has different requirements. A quote may account for several connected details beyond the illuminated sign face itself.

Factors that can shape the project scope include:

Sign type and dimensions
Illumination method
Materials and fabrication complexity
Mounting location and site conditions
Installation scope
Applicable permit requirements

Preparing a few details before your consultation can make the discussion more productive. Gather your available logo files, identify the most important message, and note the proposed installation location. Consider where customers will view the sign and whether its primary purpose is to identify the storefront, direct people to an entrance, or present a specific message.

We use this information to clarify the scope and develop a sign solution tailored to your property, message, and visibility goals.
