Sign Design & Permit Assistance
A successful sign project starts long before installation. Planet Signs can help with site measurements, sign planning, design and permit-related requirements to prepare your commercial signage project for fabrication and installation.
- PLAN IT RIGHT FROM THE START
From an Idea to an Installation-Ready Sign
Every commercial sign project starts with understanding the property, the business and the installation requirements. Planet Signs helps turn your initial idea into a practical signage plan that can move smoothly toward fabrication and installation without costly setbacks or redesign delays.
- SIGN PLANNING SERVICES
Everything Starts With the Right Plan
Site Measurement
We review the proposed sign location and collect the measurements needed to plan the project.
Sign Design
Your sign is planned around your brand identity, storefront geometry, available facade space and bespoke visual requirements.
Sign Drawings
Where required, technical drawings are prepared to communicate proposed signage, accurate dimensions, electrical pathways and installation details.
Permit Assistance
Depending on the project and location, commercial signage may be subject to bylaws. We assist with the permit package coordination required.
- SIGN VISUALIZATION
See How Your Sign Could Look
Before fabrication begins, a sign concept or mockup can help visualize how the proposed signage will work with your storefront and branding.
Existing Storefront
High-resolution photo survey capturing facade measurements, sight clearances and electrical feed locations.
Sign Mockup
Photorealistic digital vector overlay matched to scale, showing material texture, font proportion and day-view contrast.
Finished Project
The engineered sign fully fabricated, inspected, permitted and securely mounted onto the architectural facade.
- SITE MEASUREMENT
Every Property Is Different
The size, mounting surface, visibility, electrical requirements and surrounding architecture can all affect a commercial sign project. Accurate site information helps determine the appropriate size, position and installation approach before fabrication begins.
