Electric & Light Up Signs in Tigard

Stay Visible After Dark with Signage Designed for Your Property

Electric & Light Up Signs keep business names, logos, messages, and directions visible after daylight hours. We create custom visual communication solutions for Tigard storefronts, offices, campuses, retail spaces, and other commercial properties that need to stand out in low-light or overcast conditions.

Effective illumination involves more than choosing a bright display. Viewing distance, mounting surface, brand colors, lighting direction, electrical conditions, and the surrounding environment all shape the design. We bring those practical details together in signage that reflects your identity and suits its intended location.

Choose an Illuminated Format That Fits Your Visibility Goals

The right format depends on what you need to communicate and where people will see it. Some businesses need permanent building identification, while others need changeable messages or directions across a larger property.

Common illuminated formats include:

• Illuminated channel letters: Individually defined letters or logos that create dimensional identification on a building façade or storefront.
• Lighted cabinet signs: A lighted face housed within a three-dimensional enclosure, often considered for storefront, tenant, or roadside identification.
• LED signboards: Displays that support changeable announcements, promotions, or operational information.
• Digital monument signs: Freestanding property identification paired with changeable illuminated messaging where regulations permit it.
• Backlit signage: Opaque letters or logos illuminated from behind to create a halo effect.
• Front-lit signage: Letters or graphics illuminated from the front for direct visibility.
• Directional signage: Lighted displays that identify entrances, parking areas, departments, exits, or routes through a property.

Front-lit, backlit, and front-and-back-lit configurations create distinct visual effects. During planning, we consider scale, brand standards, viewing angle, and the balance between illuminated and non-illuminated elements. Available formats and final feasibility depend on the property, design, and installation conditions, as well as required approvals.

How Tigard Sign Regulations Affect Illuminated Displays

Tigard sign regulations can shape how an illuminated display is designed, positioned, and approved. Final requirements depend on the property’s zoning, sign type, dimensions, mounting location, lease terms, and proximity to a public right-of-way.

Local lighting and placement considerations include:

• Indirect or external lighting: Fixtures must be shielded, angled, or positioned so light doesn’t shine directly onto adjacent properties or public rights-of-way.
• Signs larger than 100 square feet: Indirect or external lighting requires shielding with a cutoff angle of at least 90 degrees to prevent upward-directed light.
• Internal lighting: The city permits it for specified categories, including wall signs, window signs, and pedestrian-oriented roof signs.
• Right-of-way projections: A display projecting into the City of Tigard right-of-way requires City Engineer approval. It can’t project into Oregon Department of Transportation right-of-way.

Evaluating the proposed location early can prevent avoidable design changes. Before finalizing the concept, we consider the available space, surrounding light, and visibility from pedestrian and driver viewpoints.

One Coordinated Process from Design Through Installation

Our visual communication professionals, graphic designers, and project managers collaborate with clients from concept through completion. We provide graphic design, content development, signage, project management, and installation, giving businesses one coordinated resource for illuminated signage.

Planning begins with the display’s purpose, preferred visibility, brand requirements, mounting surface, and installation context. We then develop a visual solution around the approved direction and coordinate each stage within our scope. Because we’re locally and independently owned, we can tailor the strategy to local market conditions.
