Decades OF SIGN DESIGN EXPERTISE.
AT YOUR SERVICE.
Are you in the peak of your busy season and need to outsource some overflow design work? Or maybe you’re looking to expand into new markets but don’t have the in-house design expertise and aren’t sure where to start.
Hiring a “freelancer” is a scary proposition. The industry is flooded with talented print designers who just don’t understand the construction and manufacturing side of the sign industry. You end up with a pretty design that doesn’t meet the code requirements, can’t actually be fabricated, or won’t read right from some viewing angles. We’ve all been there.
A well thought out design is the foundation for a successful and profitable sign project, and a sign designer qualified to build that foundation can be hard to come by. With decades of signage experience under our collective belts, Letterbox Sign Design is the creative partner you’ve been looking for.
We’re real sign people. We’ve walked a mile in your shoes. We’ve paid our dues on the fabrication floor, in the permit line, and in the bucket truck. We feel your pain, and we speak your language. Everything we craft for our clients is done with care, precision, and intent to help you sell more signs and drive more profits to your bottom line.
what we design
exterior signs
We know how signs are built. Engineering makes sense to us. We can recite UL 48 backwords and in Latin (okay that’s an exaggeration). We design every sign with the undertstanding that what’s on the inside is just as important as what’s on the outside.
FLEET GRAPHICS
Vehicle advertising is the fastest growing segment of the sign industry, and it’s flooded with sub-par design work. Leverage our creative experience to pull ahead of your competition by offering professional, clean, ready-to-installdesigns that look great and drive profits to your customers’ bottom lines, even at 70 miles per hour.
interior signs
From lobby signs to welcome guests, to ADA-compliant wayfinding packages for an entire campus, Letterbox has you covered. Our multidisciplinary team knows the materials and understands the regulations (yes, even those pesky California regulations).
BRANDING
We don’t fancy ourselves a true branding studio, but often in the course of designing a signage package, the need to cast a critical eye on the branding of a project surfaces. When it does, we’re ready, whether your mom-and-pop customer needs a new logo for their sign, or a large facilityneeds to rebrand.
shop drawings
We haven’t always had cushy desk jobs. We’ve spent years on the shop floor and in the field. Let us help you standardize your fabrication practices and reduce permitting downtime with detailed shop and permit drawings to streamline production efficiency and maximize profits.
ENVIRONMENTS
Signage doesn’t stop at the front door. An immersive and experiential environment is a critical component of a complete signage package. Environmental graphics can reinforce a brand, assist in wayfinding, drive larger and better purchases, and tell the story of a company or product in a way other signage can’t.
EXTERIOR SIGN DESIGN
We know how signs are built. Engineering makes sense to us. We can recite UL 48 backwords and in Latin (okay that’s an exaggeration). We design every sign with the undertstanding that what’s on the inside is just as important as what’s on the outside.
ADA & WAYFINDING DESIGN
From lobby signs to welcome guests, to compliant wayfinding packages for an entire campus, Letterbox has you covered. Our multidisciplinary team knows the materials and understands the regulations (yes, even those pesky California regulations).
TECHNICAL & SHOP DRAWINGS
We haven’t always had cushy desk jobs. We’ve spent years on the shop floor and in the field - we know how to build signs and we know how to install them. And we also know that every fabricator in the industry will build the same sign slightly differently. Sometimes that difference can make or break the bottom line of a job or result in a failed inspection. We can help you standardize your fabrication practices and reduce permitting downtime with detailed shop and permit drawings to streamline production efficiency, minimize re-dos and margin drain, and maximize profits.

ENVIRONMENTAL GRAPHICS

Environmental graphics can reinforce a brand, assist in wayfinding, drive larger and better purchases, and tell the story of a company or product in a way other signage can’t.
BRANDING & DESIGN
Like most graphic designers, we cut our teeth in the industry designing logos and helping businesses take their branding to the next level - and we got pretty good at it. Nowadays, we don’t fancy ourselves a true branding studio, but often in the course of designing a signage package, the need to cast a critical eye on the branding of a project surfaces. When it does, we’re ready, whether your mom-and-pop customer needs a new logo for their sign, or a large facility or corporation needs to rebrand.
