What Makes a Sign “Specialty”?

Specialty signage includes anything outside the scope of typical commercial sign types. These projects often feature:


  • Custom shapes, layering, or cutouts

  • Mixed materials (wood, metal, plastic, vinyl, lighting)

  • Thematic designs or vintage reproductions

  • Oversized or non-standard dimensions

  • Sculpted or 3D sign elements

  • Artistic and decorative applications

Each sign is made to order, designed in close collaboration with you or your design team.

Tailored Design & Installation Support

We’ll guide you from concept to completion with:


  • 1-on-1 creative consultation

  • Scaled mockups and dimensional drawings

  • Material samples and finish options

  • Brand integration, layout, and mounting solutions

  • On-site installation or mounting guidance

Our team ensures your sign not only looks stunning, but also holds up to its environment and delivers long-term performance.

  • Museums and historic locations

  • Breweries and taprooms

If you’ve got an idea, we’ve probably built something like it—or we’ll figure out how.

Materials & Fabrication Techniques

FAQs About Specialty Signs

  • Can you help me design a sign from scratch?

    Yes. Many of our clients come to us with a theme, rough sketch, or goal. We help turn those ideas into full designs and fabrications.


  • Do you create vintage or retro-style signs?

     Absolutely. We’ve recreated classic sign looks using modern materials, from 1950s diner themes to rustic hand-painted styles.


  • Are specialty signs weather-resistant?

    Yes. We’ll recommend the right materials and coatings based on whether your sign will be indoors, outdoors, or exposed to the elements.


  • Can you make custom-shaped signs (non-rectangular)?

    Yes. We frequently produce signs cut to custom shapes—logos, product silhouettes, decorative motifs, and more.


  • What’s the lead time for a specialty sign?

    Depending on complexity, most projects take 3–6 weeks. Rush timelines may be possible for simpler builds.
