Sign types

What kinds of storefront signs do we make?

Six types cover almost every New York storefront. Most businesses combine two: one sign that reads from down the block, and window graphics that close the deal at the door.

Channel letters

Individual 3D letters, usually lit from inside. The classic choice for restaurants, salons and retail.

Best for: Being seen from down the block

Lightbox signs

A lit cabinet with a printed face. Bright, budget-friendly, and the face can be swapped if you rebrand.

Best for: Bright signs on a tighter budget

Awnings

Fabric or metal awnings with your name and logo — shade for the door and a sign in one.

Best for: Cafés, delis and corner stores

Window graphics

Vinyl lettering, hours, logos and full window wraps. Tells people what you sell before they open the door.

Best for: Hours, offers and privacy

Banners

Vinyl banners for openings, sales and events — or a temporary sign while your permanent one is made.

Best for: Openings and short-term promos

Blade signs

Signs that stick out from the wall, so people walking along the sidewalk see you from both directions.

Best for: Busy sidewalks and side streets

How to choose

Which sign is right for my storefront?

Start with where your customers come from. If they drive or walk past from far away, lead with a lit sign. If they’re already at your door, window graphics do the work. Your free plan recommends the right mix for your street.

Your sign, website and posts — all matching

A sign gets someone to stop. Then they search your name. Because we also build websites and run social media, the colors, logo and message they see online match the sign they just walked past.

FAQ

Storefront sign questions

How much does a storefront sign cost in New York?

It depends on the sign type, size, materials, lighting and installation. Window graphics and banners cost the least; lit channel letters cost the most. Your free plan includes a clear, written quote before any work starts.

Do I need a permit for a sign in NYC?

Often, yes. Many exterior signs in New York City — especially larger and illuminated ones — need a permit from the NYC Department of Buildings. We’ll tell you what your sign needs as part of your plan.

How long does it take to get a new sign?

Window graphics and banners are the fastest. Lit signs take longer because they are built to order and may need a permit. You get a timeline with your quote, and we can put up a banner while your permanent sign is made.

Can you match my existing logo and colors?

Yes. Send us your logo and we match it exactly. No logo yet? Our branding service can create one, and we’ll use it on your sign, website and social media.

Do you install the sign too?

Yes. We handle design, production and installation, so you deal with one team from the first call to the day the sign goes up.

Which sign is best for a new business?

Most new businesses start with one main sign people can see from down the street, plus window graphics with hours and what you sell. A grand-opening banner helps for the first few weeks.
