Sign painting: painted signs are cost-effective signage!

When you want cost-effective signage, many of our clients have found that our professionally painted signs and painted graphics do the job perfectly. Consider this: a standard sized sign made with metal or plastic letters can cost thousands of dollars just for materials (not including the additional cost paid out for professional installation). With a large sign (4 foot or taller letters and graphics, for example) that cost multiplies tremendously.

On the other hand - our professionally produced hand painted graphics can cost a fraction of that.

Here are some examples:

Our client University of California Irvine wanted to professionally apply graphics to this water tower which had a deep rib texture (limiting other types of signage). They decided that for this location hand painted graphics would work best for longevity and maintenance. They wanted their mascot on one side, their logo on another side -- the mascot is about 30 feet wide, the logo about 30 feet high. Here are some photos of our work there:

The logo project turned out to be a perfect backdrop for the 2017 LA Rams Training Camp held at U.C. Irvine:


Another client, Parts Authority, discovered the cost-effectiveness of hand-painted signs. We've provided painted signs for many of their facilities . Here is their corporate location:


Sonicpool Post Production, a client in Hollywood, California, had a large wall visible to Santa Monica Boulevard a block away. We painted this super graphic - large, cost-effective sign for them:


This next one demonstrates how painted wall signage can be placed on any surface, opening up possibilities regarding where you can place a (cost-effective, too!) sign.

A public service organization in the north county of San Diego area discovered that they could save money with professional painted signs and used Big City to get their signage up and the word out:


Not only can signs be professionally painted on rough stucco surfaces (above) but on corrugated metal, brick, etc. -- sign painting is your best and most cost-effective choice if you want signage or graphics in a place where textured surfaces or materials put a limit on other options. Here is one school mural project with those kind of surfaces - corrugated metal above, concrete block below - both were not a problem for us to get signage where it needed to be:


Many schools, public and private, have found that we can provide them with cost-effective murals, school mascots, and award graphics. Often, walls at their facilities have a texture or simply a size that limit the choices to our professional hand painted signs and graphics. Here are some examples:

To sum this up: there really is no limit to what we can do for you!

What kind of project do you have in mind?
