Your business Sign needs to be visible, Anaheim Sign Company can make you visible. If no one can see your sign, your business will suffer. There needs to be contrast, it needs to be readable. Some logos and fonts look nice on letterhead, but they are just not readable on your store front or wall sign. Look at all the major corporations, their logos and letters, have contrast (McDonalds’ is a good example, they use red and white). Not my favorite color combination but it does stand out.

If your location permits monument signs, or pole signs, street signs are the most visible for drivers to see. Lighted monument signs stand out the best at night, Concrete monument signs offer the best durability. We like to use low voltage LED lighting. Green eco freindly signs cost 90% less then high voltage neon signs, or sign light boxes.

What Are Some of the Legal Issues with Business Signs that I Should Know?

Almost all local governments control the construction, materials, electrical or other operating components, size, numbers and location of business signs. Typically, standards for construction, materials, and operation are found in local building and electrical codes; regulations controlling physical parameters and placement or display are found either as part of a comprehensive land use zoning code or in a separate sign code.

Business signs are considered a form of commercial speech that has significant protection from unlawful government interference under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Also, under the Fourteenth Amendment, local governments are required to provide due process and equal treatment to all applicants as part of the sign permitting process.

There are federal laws protecting a sign company or business owner when someone tries to copy the design, artwork, or wording of a business sign without authorization. For example, an innovative method for constructing a sign may be protected by a patent, the original artwork on a sign may be copyrighted, and a unique business logo may obtain both trademark and copyright protection.

Whether a business owner owns or leases the sign, the sign is a business asset and receives the same tax treatment as any other tangible business property.

Building and Electrical Codes

The construction, installation, and operation of any permanent business sign will need to conform to all applicable building and electrical codes. Because compliance with these codes requires specialized technical expertise, a business owner should specify that conformity to these codes is the responsibility of the sign company that builds and installs a business sign. This responsibility would extend to the sign company’s subcontractors.

Local Zoning or Sign Codes

Nearly every local government regulates the display of business signs. Such regulations are found either in the local zoning code or a separate “sign code.”
Anaheim Signs is familiar with local zoning codes and can get permits as needed.
