More and more local business owners are looking to stationary awnings when designing their companies’ building signage and façade embellishments. In addition to being excellent advertising tools, they also boost the curb appeal of your location. Here is what you need to know about adding awning signs in Chicago, IL.
Standing out with Durable Awning Materials
An awning must be able to withstand the weather. Sunshine should not bleach it; rain must not lead to material disintegration. For this reason, our sign shop prefers marine fabric for our awnings. It has an elevated level of UV resistance while also not falling victim to mildew or water damage. Best of all, the material comes in a broad range of base colors that are excellent for use with your brand.
Choosing a Shape
Many business clients favor a traditional awning design with a sign band. We can manufacture this product with open or closed sides. Concave awnings are great options when you want the awning itself to double as a building sign. Traditional designs are better choices when you add the awning for color play rather than signage. Of course, you do not have to limit yourself to these shapes. You might also choose a dome, convex, or marquee awning for your business.
Selecting the Best Way to Send a Commercial Message
In addition to adding plenty of chic to your façade, awning signs are also excellent choices when you want to boost brand awareness and name recognition. That said, there are different ways of doing so.
Branding. Choose your brand color to be the base tone for the awning. It is a first-rate way of standing out without even having to highlight your name. This works very well for companies that have strong brand color recognition. Some business clients have had good success with the imprint of brand symbols in addition to the color selection.
Signage substitute. In the right circumstances, the awning can become your building sign. If there is sufficient space to allow for the display of your company’s name and logo in a size that works for the location, you can save money on other signage products. Besides that, it will give your façade a finished look.
Signage augmentation. When you do favor the combination of an awning with a building sign, we recommend using the sign band for identifying an individual owner, a professional membership, or a tagline. In this way, the product supports the information that your building sign displays.
