Over the past five years, SignWorks has completed a wide range of signage projects that support development, redevelopment, and public use across the San Francisco Bay Area. These projects include exterior building signs, interior lobby signage, evacuation maps, wayfinding systems, ADA signage, plaques, and traffic control signs.
For developers and public agencies, signage is more than branding—it plays a critical role in safety, navigation, compliance, and long-term site performance. The projects below highlight how SignWorks delivers signage solutions that meet planning requirements while enhancing the built environment.
Prevost Building Sign Refresh – Hayward, CA (Pending Approval)
One of the most significant upcoming projects is a large exterior building sign refresh for Prevost at its Hayward facility. This project is currently pending city permit approval and will move forward once approvals are finalized.
Why This Project Matters to Developers
- Oversized dimensional letter logo spanning more than 250 feet
- Thick acrylic letters mounted to a newly painted façade
- High-contrast design for long-distance visibility
- Branding scaled appropriately for an industrial campus
Once installed, this sign will serve as a strong visual anchor for the site while aligning with city review and permitting requirements.
Interior Lobby Signage for Commercial and Public-Facing Buildings
Interior lobby signage plays an important role in new construction and renovation projects. These signs help establish identity while supporting wayfinding inside shared spaces.
Recent Lobby Sign Projects
- Saltbreaker
