Sign Design

The purpose of a sign is communication, it projects a powerful message and leaves a lasting impression.  Your sign is the first thing people will see - it is the face of your business, the image you portray, the picture you paint.  A captivating sign will undoubtedly enhance your business, maximise your potential and ultimately,  increase your turnover.
 

Signals RestarauntThe very essence of a sign is the style of its design.  At UK Sign Services we have established an unrivalled reputation for creation and innovation, a key element where originality and individuality is paramount in ensuring a competitive edge.

 

Because most signs are custom made, they can cost anything from hundreds to thousands of pounds, but measured against the number of people who see them every day and the number of years they are in use, they are undoubtedly one of the most efficient advertising mediums.  A full page ad may cost less, but will be discarded within days.  Signs are usually a one-off purchase lasting upto and above a 10 year lifespan and therefore, a considerable investment. 


UK Sign offers a complete solution to all your design requirements to help you attract new customers, build your business and keep you ahead of the competition.


Using the latest computer visualisation tools we will super-impose the proposed signs onto your building to present you with the best possible impression of the finished article, time spent at the design and planning stage will ensure you get the right effect.


Whether you know exactly what you want or you are simply looking for ideas, our designers can work with you to create your exact requirements

Jordans Rentals Shop Sign Warrington

Jordans Rentals Shop Front Sign Warrington

Jordan's Rentals in the Town Centre of Warrington in Cheshire was in a conservation area and the building itself was of a very traditional shop front.

The shop frontage was stripped back and repainted to a very high standard and UK Sign designed the signs for the shop under strict guidelines of the local council.

After discussions the planning officer agreed for the design to be put forward for planning approval at the next council planning meeting and it was accepted.

We then proceeded to manufacture and install the sign - the client was very pleased with the result.

 

Most UK shop fronts and commercial buildings will require a planning application for a new sign, however if the sign is being replaced "as is" or is under repair or maintenance, it would not normally need a further planning approval, unless it hadn't had planning approval in the first place - best to check with your local council before proceeding. It is almost a certainty that any major change to the shop sign (i.e. change of illumination, size, impact to the vicinity) will require a new application as will shop signs being installed to new builds.

In general terms, most councils adopt a similar approach to planning, although certain listed areas and areas where heritage is important may be dealt with slightly differently. UK Sign has had considerable success with planning/advertising consents across the country in this regard.

One item most councils are adopting a policy against is light pollution, most large "white" light boxes with simple cut vinyl lettering are now being rejected. Halo or cut through lighting is more favourable and many examples of this may be seen in our portfolio.
