This custom commercial signage project included the graphic design, production, contour cutting, removal, replacement, and professional installation of two aluminum business signs for a Metro Atlanta office location.
The project required two different types of signage: a custom-shaped exterior office identification sign mounted directly to a brick wall and a new tenant directory sign panel installed within the property’s existing monument-style directory system.
Both pieces were designed to create a consistent visual identity while fitting the architecture, proportions, and existing signage structure of the property.
Custom Exterior Office Sign
The main exterior sign was created for Suite 130 and designed as a custom-shaped aluminum panel rather than a basic rectangular business sign.
The contour-cut shape gives the sign a more architectural appearance and works well against the traditional brick exterior of the building. The dark background, gold border, business name, and suite number create strong contrast while maintaining a professional and polished look.
For businesses located in office parks or commercial buildings, exterior office signage plays an important role in helping customers, patients, visitors, and delivery drivers identify the correct location.
Custom office signs can be designed for professional offices, medical practices, healthcare providers, law firms, financial offices, property management companies, corporate offices, service businesses, and other commercial locations.
This project included the complete preparation of the artwork, direct printing on aluminum, precision contour cutting, and final installation.
Tenant Directory Sign Panel
The second part of the project involved replacing a tenant panel in an existing commercial directory sign.
Directory signs are commonly used at office complexes, medical buildings, business parks, shopping centers, professional properties, and other multi-tenant locations where several businesses share the same property.
Rather than replacing the entire sign structure, individual tenant panels can often be updated when a new company moves into the property or when a business changes its name, logo, or branding.
For this installation, a custom aluminum directory panel was produced to fit the existing opening and display the company identity clearly within the larger monument-style sign system.
The finished panel provides a clean, highly visible identification point for visitors entering the property.
What Is a Business Directory Sign?
A business directory sign is designed to identify multiple businesses or tenants located within one commercial property.
These signs may be positioned at a property entrance, beside a driveway, inside a lobby, or incorporated into a larger freestanding monument sign.
Common applications include:
Office buildings
Medical offices
Professional complexes
Business parks
Commercial plazas
Retail centers
Industrial properties
Multi-tenant buildings
A well-designed directory sign helps visitors locate a business quickly while also keeping the overall appearance of the property organized and professional.
Monument Sign Panels for Commercial Properties
A monument sign is typically a permanent freestanding sign positioned near the entrance of a business, office complex, subdivision, school, medical facility, or commercial property.
Some monument signs are built for a single company, while others include multiple individual tenant panels.
When a tenant changes, the existing monument structure may remain in place while only the individual business panel is replaced.
Custom monument sign panels can be produced to match the dimensions, colors, branding, and layout requirements of the existing structure.
This makes replacement tenant signage a practical option for property managers and businesses that need updated branding without rebuilding the entire monument sign.
Custom Aluminum Signs for Atlanta Businesses
Aluminum is a popular material for many types of commercial signage because it provides a clean appearance, strong rigidity, and good durability for indoor and outdoor applications.
Depending on the project, custom aluminum signage can be used for:
Exterior business signs
Office identification signs
Suite signs
Tenant signs
Directory sign panels
Monument sign panels
Building signs
Directional signs
Wayfinding signs
Parking signs
Property management signs
Custom logo signs
Commercial identification signage
For this project, both signs were produced using 3mm aluminum.
The graphics were printed directly onto the aluminum surface, and the exterior office sign was custom contour cut to create its distinctive shape.
Graphic Design, Sign Production and Installation
Professional signage involves more than simply placing a logo on a panel.
The design needs to consider the available space, viewing distance, surrounding architecture, readability, proportions, branding, existing signage, and installation requirements.
For this project, the work included graphic design, file preparation, sign production, custom contour cutting, removal and replacement of existing signage as needed, and professional installation.
Handling the project from design through installation helps create a more consistent finished result.
It also allows the sign layout to be developed around the actual installation environment rather than treating the sign as a standalone graphic.
