Exterior Signage

Side-by-side display of Amazon logo sizes, highlighting differences in dimensions for branding purposes.

Wall-Mounted Building Signs

Wall-mounted front-lit channel letter signs offer bold visibility with 5" deep black aluminum returns, 3/16” acrylic faces, and 1” black trim caps. They feature either 3M Dual Color Film or a translucent film matching PMS 2995 C. Internally illuminated and flush-mounted, these signs include an internal raceway for a clean, professional finish.

Illuminated Monument Signs

The custom 8' illuminated monument signs feature durable construction and energy-efficient LEDs for long-lasting performance and reduced energy consumption. They incorporate 3/4" acrylic push-thru graphics with a C2b Squid Ink Black surface, designed to create an elegant halo-lit effect that enhances brand visibility, especially at night.

Installed pylon sign featuring Amazon delivery information alongside the Amazon logo, highlighting its design.

Illuminated Pylon Signs

The illuminated pylon sign includes a 2" deep aluminum cabinet with a .125" aluminum skin and internal framing. "Amazon Delivery" is displayed in 1/2" acrylic with reflective black vinyl, while directional text uses 3M black vinyl. Arrows and accent stripes match PMS 2995 blue. Supported by a 4" white aluminum post, the sign is lit by two 48" Soltech fixtures (2000 lumens each), mounted on top and facing down, with a warm 3000K color temperature.

Directional, Wayfinding, and Safety Signage

trategically placed signage ensures smooth traffic flow, clear navigation, and regulatory compliance across the site. Directional signs like trailer inspection, yard rules, and parking designations guide vehicles and personnel efficiently. Safety signage, including No Idling, Carbon Monoxide, and Emergency Vehicle signs, reinforces site rules. Together, these signs create a well-organized and secure environment.

Interior and Compliance Signage

ADA-Compliant Room Identification Signs

ADA-compliant room identification signs mark key areas like electrical rooms, exits, occupancy limits, and warehouse zones, ensuring accessibility and compliance. Fire safety signage, including extinguisher decals and exit signs, supports emergency readiness. All signage follows ADA and fire code standards. Together, they enhance safety and organization across the facility.
