Building Sign Types We Offer

We work with a wide range of building sign formats so your signage fits your space, your brand, and your visibility goals.

• Channel letters: Individual three-dimensional letters or shapes mounted directly to a building facade. Available front-lit, back-lit (halo), or non-illuminated. Channel letters are one of the most recognizable forms of commercial facade branding.
• LED lit signs: Energy-efficient illumination helps keep your building sign visible day and night, extending your brand’s exposure beyond business hours.
• Dimensional letters: Fabricated in a range of materials, dimensional letters give storefronts a polished, professional appearance without requiring illumination.
• Monument signs: Freestanding structures placed at a building entrance or property perimeter that anchor your brand at street level.
• Wayfinding signage: Helps customers navigate to and around your property. Often paired with primary building identification signs for a complete exterior package.
• Large format signs: Suited to buildings with significant street frontage or high-traffic locations where maximum visibility is the goal.
• Neon signs: A classic option that delivers distinctive character and visibility, particularly effective for retail and food service environments.

Every sign can be customized to incorporate your logo, brand colors, and design elements. Illuminated and non-illuminated options are available across most formats.

Why Los Angeles Businesses Invest in Building Signs

In a dense, high-traffic city, a well-placed building sign does real commercial work. It identifies your location clearly for customers navigating by car or on foot, cutting through the visual noise of a busy streetscape. Unlike a digital ad, a building sign is a one-time investment that can generate ongoing brand exposure over time: day and night, without recurring spend.

Consistent, well-designed exterior signage reinforces brand identity with each visit. For businesses in competitive corridors across Los Angeles, that repetition can build recognition with repeat customers and passersby alike. It can also communicate professionalism before anyone steps through the door.

The FASTSIGNS® of Tarzana, CA Process: Design Through Installation

We start each project with a site consultation. Our team evaluates your building surface, viewing angles, and lighting conditions to recommend the right sign size, format, and placement. From there, our graphic designers develop options that align with your brand guidelines before anything moves to production.

Navigating Los Angeles Sign Permits

Permitting is part of the process, not an afterthought. Most exterior building signs in Los Angeles require a permit from the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS). Illuminated signs may also require a separate electrical permit under the Los Angeles City Building Code. The application process can involve site plans, structural calculations for larger signs, and a plan check review, with approval timelines that may range from a few weeks to several months depending on sign complexity. Our team manages the survey and permitting process as part of your project, helping reduce delays and keep the work on track.

We serve medical and educational facilities, public works offices, and small businesses in the retail and food service sectors: any business with a building and a brand worth showing.
