When you are in search of wall art or sculptures, the Diablo Fine Art Gallery at 1535 Palos Verdes Mall is your destination. Representing such greats as Ishka Lha and Yurik Riegel, the broad range of artworks is truly stunning. When the business needed signage to stand out at its location, the management team contacted the pros at SignWorks.
Blade and Dimensional Letter Building Signs for Walnut Creek, CA, Galleries
The management company in charge of the mall where the gallery is located offers two exterior signage options.
- Building sign. The Diablo Gallery management chose dimensional lettering that now sets apart the location from other mall tenants. We manufactured the letters from black acrylic with a thickness of one-half of one inch. This results in an attractive and substantial display. We installed the letters to the wall with stud mounts.
- Blade sign. This marker attaches to the ceiling underneath the overhang that covers the walkway between stores. Each store has a panel. We took the one allocated to the gallery, disassembled it, cleaned it, prepped it and then attached smaller dimensional letters to the surface. Once completed, we reinstalled the blade sign in its pre-approved location.
It is interesting to note that the building signage installation required us to perform a site survey to ensure a safe fitting because of the height above ground. Next, the city of Walnut Creek required us to file permit paperwork. Our technicians handled these issues without problem and without inconveniencing our client.
Working with a Full Service Sign Shop Makes Sense
The attractive signage for the Diablo Gallery is a great case study for proving that there is a lot more to signage than meets the eye. The behind-the-scenes work consumes man-hours, which does not begin to factor in the time spent on the sketching and manufacturing of the actual signage components. There are now signage companies that offer their services but are very clear in stating that they do not provide a full service approach.
For the client, this frequently translates into work that employees of the business have to take on. For example, some sign shops are happy to make your sign, but you have to provide the sketches and handle the permitting process yourself. Unless you are well versed in the procedures, you end up paying for a sign that the city may not issue you a permit to install. Other sign businesses do not offer installation services. You may get an attractive sign but then have to find a professional to install it. If something goes wrong, both companies point fingers at the other one and you are left in the middle.
