Which sign type is right for you?
Most enquiries can be sorted with two questions: where will the sign go, and should it light up at night?

|---|---|
| Fascia on a busy street, visible at night | Illuminated letters or a lightbox sign |
| People on the pavement should spot you early | Projecting sign |
| Redesigning the whole shop front | Shop front sign |
| A reception logo, refined and glare-free | Halo-lit logo sign |
| Company name in an office or clinic, no power needed | Flat cut letters or stainless steel letters |
| Sculptural lettering with real depth | 3D letters |
| A green accent in the room | Moss logo sign |
| Lettering or a logo drawn in light for a bar, salon or event | LED neon sign |

Planning your shop sign: how it works
- Send a photo and your logo: a straight-on photo of the frontage or wall, one measurement of the area and your logo, ideally as a vector file.
- Free design preview: we place the sign to scale on your photo, so you can see size, position and lighting before anything is made.
- Quote: with dimensions, materials and a firm delivery date.
- Approval and production: nothing is made until you approve.
- Delivery and installation: with fixings and instructions. The mains connection is made by a qualified electrician. If you don't have an installer, we can help you find one near you.
Do shop signs need a signage permit?
Often, yes. Many shop signs need a signage permit from the local authority (in Dubai, Dubai Municipality, Trakhees or your free-zone authority), especially illuminated ones, larger signs and anything in a conservation area or on a heritage-listed building. If a sign projects over the pavement, a separate permit for the road may be needed.
So check with the local authority before you order. We supply a dimensioned drawing and a visual for your application. What to watch for with individual sign types is covered on our projecting signs and shop front signs pages.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a shop sign cost?
It depends on the sign type, size, material and lighting. Send us your logo and a photo and you'll get a specific quote with a free design preview.
Which sign type is right for me?
It comes down to location and effect: outdoors and visible at night – illuminated letters or a lightbox; for people on the pavement – a projecting sign; in reception – a halo-lit logo or flat cut letters. If in doubt, we'll recommend the right option from your photo.
Do I need a signage permit for a shop sign?
Yes, in most cases. In Dubai, shop signs need a signage permit from Dubai Municipality (or Trakhees or your free-zone authority), and the sign must match your trade-licence name, usually in Arabic and English. We supply a dimensioned drawing and a visual for your application.
What's the difference between illuminated signs and LED neon?
Illuminated signage is the umbrella term for lit signs such as lightboxes and illuminated letters. LED neon is one type: glowing lines of LED neon flex on acrylic.
Do I need an electrician?
For illuminated signs connected to the mains on the outside of the building, yes. LED neon signs and indoor halo-lit signs come with a plug-in adapter.
Do you install the signs?
As standard you get everything your installer needs. If you don't have one, we can help you find a sign installer near you.
Which files do you need?
Ideally your logo as a vector file (PDF, AI, EPS or SVG) and a straight-on photo of the wall or frontage. A JPG or PNG is fine to get started.
How long does delivery take?
Once you approve your design preview, we confirm a firm delivery date in your quote.
