Directory Signs – Get as Creative as you Want

March 21st, 2011

While most people might consider choosing a style for a lobby directory or directory signage to be rather mundane, there are actually hundreds of different options to choose from. Whether you are simply looking to create a single name listing for a cubicle, or a lobby directory sign for a 100-tenant building, a wide variety of colors, materials, and styles are there to choose from.

Our most recent installment on our YouTube channel highlights the diversity amongst the directory signage we have created for clients over the last several years. We hope you enjoy the video!

A Historical Lesson in Business Signage

February 24th, 2011

It’s about that time of the month again, so we went ahead and uploaded our latest video creation to our YouTube channel. This month we decided to have a little fun, and give our interpretation of how business signs have evolved from the earliest drawings of the cavemen up until today. The new video can be found HERE or you can always visit our YouTube channel HERE.

A Great Sign can Make a Big Impact for Your Business

January 19th, 2011

In the latest installment of our videos hosted on our YouTube channel, we decided to highlight the difference have a great office sign can have on your business versus a bad office sign. In this video, we had a little fun, first showing a couple of examples of how a bad office sign can make your space look run-down, or worse yet, how it can misrepresent you. To illustrate this, we used the example from overseas of a folding sign highlighting the services of a young lady offering foot massage and aromatherapy. Sadly, she goes by the name “Ms. Puke” which doesn’t really translate well with English speakers (certainly it doesn’t suggest aromatherapy!).

We then show some of our favorite examples of good or great office signs. These are a collection of signs that we’ve had the opportunity to create as part of our portfolio. These signs are a collective example of how great office signage can:

- Highlight an office’s presence

– Promote a company’s identity

– Feature great aesthetics and deisgn

We hope you enjoy our most recent video!

Help, I Don’t Know Where to Start!

June 1st, 2010

Every day we get panicked phone calls from people who have never bought a sign before, and have now been given the task of finding a sign company to make their new business sign.  Since they are not sure how the process works, they don’t even know where to begin.

At Blue Pond Signs, all our sales consultants have years of experience helping companies create the perfect custom sign to match their image.  Whether you’re looking for a logo sign, a directory sign, or some other type of commercial sign, we can walk you through the process of identifying the exact type of custom sign for your business.

Some of the questions we’ll ask you will include:
-    how large will you want the sign to be
-    are there particular materials you would like to incorporate in your logo sign
-    what is the approximate budget for your sign
-    will you want us to include your specific logo colors in your sign
-    if you’re looking for a directory sign, how many tenants will you want to identify

Directory Sign

Directory signs are one of the many sign types available from Blue Pond Signs

Once we have a clear idea of what type of custom sign will work for you, we will be happy to prepare a free estimate for whichever options are best suited for your specific situation.

If you decide to move forward with the sign, we will have you sign and fax the estimate back to us, and we will need  a 50% deposit at that point (with the balance due at the time we ship the sign).  Once you’ve placed your order, we will email you a proof of the sign in just a few days, and that point you can review the layout and make any changes you would like. Once we have your final approval on the layout, most of our signs ship in 2-4 weeks.

So if you’re the lucky person who has been given the responsibility of purchasing your company’s new sign, relax!  Call or email us today, and in no time at all you’ll be basking in compliments from everyone who sees your beautiful sign.

If you’d like to receive a quote for a custom sign today, please call us toll-free at 877-264-4111, or you can also fill out our online quote request, and we’ll be happy to provide you with a quote at no charge.

Buying Custom Signs From a Sign Company Located Outside Your Area

June 1st, 2010
Office Sign

Just one example of the many types of signs available from Blue Pond Signs

As one of the nation’s leading providers of high quality business signs, we receive phone calls and emails from all over the U.S. every day, and one of the most common questions we’re asked is “Do you ship signs to my state?”  The answer is a resounding YES!

Most of the calls which come to us from outside our geographic area are from people who simply can’t find a good local resource for providing high quality office signs. As a result, they’ve turned to the Web to find a custom sign company that has the experience and expertise to create the type of signage they have in mind.

With over 35 years’ experience creating custom signs, Blue Pond Signs is uniquely positioned to handle all your signage needs. Many of the business signs we make can be shipped very affordably, and as our local UPS driver can attest, we ship signs all over the country every day.  Examples of the types of commercial signs that are easily shipped are directory signs, most logo signs, and a wide range of interior signs. On the other hand, the large size of most monument signs and many other types of exterior signs makes shipping those signs cost prohibitive, and in that case you are better served by working with a local sign company.

If you’d like to receive a quote for a custom sign today, please call us toll-free at 877-264-4111, or you can also fill out our online quote request, and we’ll be happy to provide you with a quote at no charge.
