Carlsbad, CA – Updated Monument for Emerging Company In Carlsbad
A company’s vision change over time, so can their branding. That’s when we come in. One of our Carlsbad clients, Tear Film, has emerged over the years and is now well known for their work with eye health solutions. They wanted to update their signage to show that they were now part of the high tech community that surrounded them. We drove over for a site survey to see what we had to work with. They currently had a arched sign which they wanted to have a flat top. Their address numbers were on the bottom, but for better visibility, they wanted them moved to the top. We understood that the company wanted a modern, fresh update to the old monument sign, more reflective of a modern company like themselves. Makes perfect sense. Once we had a good sense for the overall picture of what they wanted, we then went to the process of getting the approvals and permits we needed before fabrication could begin.
The first thing we needed to do was talk with the landlord. There was also an HOA they were under that required approval as well. On top of that, we needed to submit our plans to the City of Carlsbad, which has their own requirements and rules. Many companies may not be able to handle permit processing, but we frequently can. Thankfully, since North Coast Signs offers a full service plan with all of our projects, we take care of all of this for every client. They don’t need to worry about the fine details. This is our specialty and we’ve got in down to a science. Once we had all the logistical permits and approvals secured, we had our Production Team get to work.
Monument Retrofit
We sent our team to remove the arch over the monument. They then refinished the stucco and cleaned it up with a fresh coat of paint so that it was ready for the new address letters. The current sign had four glass panels, one for each tenant. Since there were only three tenants now, we replaced those with three larger glass panels. Where the old arch was, we placed a new brushed aluminum top shelf. On top of that we installed the new bottom-mounted acrylic address numbers for a sleek modern look. We were even able to reuse the current stand-offs to keep our client’s budget on target.
Brushed Aluminum Dimensional Letters
Everyone was so pleased with the results. What was once an outdated sign is now an updated, modern first impression that anyone could be proud of. We were happy that we could use the existing monument to keep their costs down while still being able to retrofit a fresh new look to their sign.
