Types of Building Signs We Create

Every building and brand is different, so we offer a wide range of building signage options. We help you choose the right combination of sign types, materials, and lighting so your message comes across clearly, day and night.

Our team produces channel letters, metal and aluminum signs, PVC and metal blade signs, LED neon style signs, and more for building exteriors seen from the street or sidewalk. We also create surface-applied graphics and large-format prints for windows, walls, and doors that face the public.

• Channel letters: Individually mounted letters that can be illuminated and shaped to match your logo and typography.
• Dimensional lettering: Raised letters or logos that add depth and a polished, architectural look to your facade.
• Blade signs: Projecting signs that extend from the building so pedestrians can see your business from up or down the block.
• Flat panel signs: Metal, aluminum, or other panel signs that provide a clean surface for your logo and key information.
• LED neon style and illuminated signs: Lighted options that help your business stay visible outside of daylight hours.
• Window, wall, and door graphics: Clear vinyl and digital prints applied directly to building surfaces for added branding or messages.

We use digital printing technology that supports both Mac and PC graphic files, including wide-format printing for large surfaces. Signs and graphics can be produced in a variety of sizes on materials such as vinyl, metal, wood, and glass so your building signage feels cohesive from the main identification sign to smaller directional elements.

How We Manage Your Building Sign Project From Concept To Completion

Coordinating a building sign in NYC can be complex. Our role is to make it simple. We manage your project from the first conversation through design, production, commercial sign installation, and ongoing updates if you need them.

• Consultation: We start by learning about your business, your building, your landlord or property requirements, and how you want customers to find you.
• Design and planning: Our graphic designers and visual communication specialists create design options that reflect your brand identity and work with your architecture.
• Approval and permitting support: We help you navigate expectations around NYC signage compliance, including building management guidelines and any permit needs for your type of sign.
• Production: Using the latest sign-making systems and techniques, we manufacture your signs with materials selected for durability and a lasting impression.
• Professional installation: Our installation team mounts your building signage and makes sure it is secure, properly lit when applicable, and installed in line with local codes and requirements.

Throughout the process, our project managers keep you updated, coordinate timelines, and serve as your single point of contact. This full-service approach reduces miscommunication and delays that can happen when design, fabrication, and installation are split across multiple vendors.

With support from the broader FASTSIGNS network, including National Accounts resources for large brands, we can confidently handle building sign projects of almost any scope, from a single storefront to multi-location rollouts across NYC and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions About Building Signs

Do You Help With Permits and Code Compliance for Building Signs?

Every building and sign type has different requirements, especially in NYC. Our team focuses on NYC signage compliance by reviewing your building plans, local guidelines, and any specifics from your landlord or property manager. When permits are needed, we help you understand what is involved and coordinate the steps as part of the overall project so your sign is installed with codes and requirements in mind.

What Does the Process Look Like From Quote to Installation?

Most building sign projects follow a clear sequence. We begin with a consultation and site review, then provide design concepts and a quote. Once you approve the design and any required permissions are in place, we move into production. When your sign is ready, we schedule commercial sign installation at a time that works with your building and business hours. Timing varies based on complexity, permitting, and access, and your project manager keeps you informed at each stage.

Can You Help If I Do Not Have Design Files or a Finished Logo?

Yes. You do not need to arrive with a complete design. Our graphic designers can work from your existing brand guidelines, a basic logo file, or even a sketch or idea. We help refine your visual identity for building signage, prepare print-ready artwork, and make sure the final design works at scale on your specific building surfaces.

If you are ready to talk about a new building sign or updating your current one, we are here to help. From concept to completion, our team at FASTSIGNS of Manhattan, NY - Penn Station is focused on making your building easy to find and your brand hard to forget.
