What Building Signs Do For Your Akron Business

Well-designed building signs help customers spot your location quickly and remember your brand long after they pass by. We customize each sign to match your logo, colors, fonts, and other brand elements so your exterior signage feels like a natural extension of your marketing.

Your sign can be placed on one or multiple sides of your building to capture attention from every direction. Many customers rely on that sign to confirm they have arrived at the right place, especially on a busy street or in a crowded shopping center.

For Akron businesses, building signs act as a one-time investment that keeps working day and night. Unlike paid ads that stop when the campaign ends, a durable, weather-resistant sign continues to build brand visibility and attract new visitors for years.

While your sign is out front doing its job, our project management lets you stay focused on running your business. We coordinate the details, timelines, and communication so the process feels organized from start to finish.

Types of Building Signs We Create

Every property and brand is different, so we help you choose building signs that fit your architecture, visibility goals, and budget. Our Akron team designs and produces signs to perform outdoors, using materials and construction methods suited for long-term exterior use.

Channel letters: Individual three-dimensional letters mounted to your building that clearly spell out your name or key message, commonly used for storefront signs and commercial signage.
LED lit signs: Illuminated signs that support visibility in changing light and weather conditions while using energy-efficient lighting technology.
Dimensional letters: Non-illuminated letters that add depth and shadow to your facade, creating a clean, polished look for offices, medical facilities, and more.
Monument signs: Freestanding ground-level signs ideal for properties set back from the street such as retail centers, office parks, and campuses.
Wayfinding signage: Directional and identification signs that help visitors navigate larger sites or multi-tenant properties.

We work with retail, medical and healthcare, educational institutions, food service, professional services, and public works organizations in the Akron area. Whatever your industry, we help you match the right sign type to your location and audience.

Building Signs FAQs

Do I Need A Permit For A Building Sign In Akron?

As part of our survey and permitting services, FASTSIGNS of Akron handles permit coordination for you and helps ensure your sign complies with applicable codes.

Can You Use My Logo And Brand Colors?

How Do I Choose The Right Type Of Building Sign?

The best option depends on your building facade, how far your property sits from the road, local zoning guidelines, and whether you need visibility during both day and night. During our consultation, we review these factors with you and recommend sign types, sizes, and placements that support your visibility goals.
