Original’s Ale House gets new Storefront Sign

Sign A Rama Toronto has produced hundreds of storefront and interior signs for restaurants and bars over the last 30 years. We have a lot of experience in getting it right as far as design and creative goes. Original’s Ale House, a long-time customer, was looking to give a fresh new look to their storefront. Hence, they contacted us to help them get their perfect sign, just like we did for them 6 years ago!

We worked with the owners and the management to develop the kind of storefront sign that they were looking for, to attract as many new customers as possible. Also, they wanted a sign that would not only be easily identified at night but also set them apart from their neighbours.

After creating a few different versions and presenting to the management, we were finally able to create a design that presented a dynamic and impactful look.

For the storefront sign, we felt a bold clean looking letter would do the trick with this illuminated sign box and push through graphics. A push through sign gives an elegant look to the signage both during the day as well as night.

The sign is easily read and can be seen from several hundred feet. The illuminated push through letters at night are visible to viewers even from a large distance. The illuminated blade sign helps to attract the attention of traffic parallel to the store, thus providing all-round visibility to the storefront.

We want to thank the management for again considering us for their new signs. We enjoyed working with them and are happy that everyone liked the new sign. The fresh new look is appealing and is working well.

Butter Chicken Factory rebrands itself with help from Signarama…

Storefront Sign and Awning for Butter Chicken factory

Rebranding is an important part of a strategy of an old and established company and can help breathe new life into the company. Some of the benefits of re-branding are-

Helps you move with changing times
Re-branding helps you announce a change in your strategy to your audience
Help reflect a change in the types of product you sell
Differentiate you from your competitors

Every now and then, a company, especially a restaurant, must refresh its image to get new clients or to connect with their old customers. Restaurants are a part of a fast-paced industry where you need to keep yourself abreast with the changing times. This is where re-branding comes into the picture and helps your restaurant to align itself with new goals and strategy. So, after years with the same signs, Butter Chicken Factory decided to change their old signs and replace them with new ones. Obviously, they entrusted Signarama Toronto East, with our years of experience in re-branding, to make their new storefront signs.

Located in Cabbage Town, Butter Chicken Factory is a highly rated Indian restaurant that wanted to refresh its storefront in order to better reflect its authentic cuisine and classy interior decor. We reviewed our client’s requirements and came out with a signage design that would not only fulfill all their requirements but also give a new look to the storefront. We replaced their existing 2 sign boxes with gloss black Alupanel boxes with gold finish 3D acrylic letters to create a dynamic and luxurious look to the storefront sign.

The 2 worn-out awnings were reskinned with a premium black awning vinyl with gold logo and text to match the 3D letters.

The overall result is a cohesive, chic storefront sign that is both traditional and modern and properly represents the restaurant and its food. We want to thank the management at Butter Chicken factory for trusting us and giving us this opportunity to work with them.

Carlton Condominium’s new lightbox signs

When a prominent Toronto architectural firm needed some very special signage created for the newly renovated 120 and 130 Carlton Condominiums, they felt very comfortable choosing us to engineer and manufacture their designs for their project on Carlton.

The Challenges

Beautiful as they look, these signs posed some unique challenges. The prominent among them was that the signage width needed to be no more than 4 inches and they needed to be attached firmly at a 90 degrees angle to the building. This enabled people walking parallel to the building to be able to see it clearly at night as well as day.

The Solution

After reviewing these requirements, our signage consultants decided to go with illuminated push-through letters to display the address elegantly with these seamless illuminated lightbox signs.

The lightbox signs were only 4 inches in thickness as required by the client. They were attached to a balcony and were structurally stamped by an engineering firm based on our mechanical drawings.

The feedback we received is that client loved the look and residents now feel the two buildings are properly identified and guests and visitors no longer have problems in identifying where they are going. We are very pleased with the results and want to thank the management for giving us this opportunity to work with them.

We at Sign A Rama Toronto have full time designers, mechanical detailers and a permit manager on staff to make it easy for architects and owners of properties and offices. Feel free to contact us for any signage needs.

Rebranding Remax

Rebranding is an important part of a strategy of an old and established organisation and can help breathe new life into the company. Some of the benefits of re-branding are-

Helps you move with changing times
Re-branding helps you announce a change in your strategy to your audience
Help reflect a change in the types of product you sell
Differentiate you from your competitor

Every now and then, a company has to refresh its image and try to get new clients, expand into new areas of expertise, etc. This is where re-branding comes into the picture and helps your company to align itself with new goals and strategy. So after many years with the same logo, Remax, a legendary brand in the real estate industry, decided to re-brand themselves and design their new logo.

They always maintained a leadership position in anything they do, including their signage. We were happy to be selected to produce these beautiful channel letters for their head office and these stainless steel three-dimensional letters for their lobby.

We were proud of the look and results and the Remax people were ecstatic.

Assembly Chef’s Hall Neon Signs by Sign A Rama…

Neon Signs

We love when customers insist on neon signs because we know they want something unique and different and want to have something truly outstanding. This kind of competitive thinking has created great opportunities for designers at sign companies. Neon Signs, in recent years, have made a comeback in Toronto’s signage space. Many businesses in Toronto who want to express their uniqueness and flair are opting for neon signs to deliver a subtle message to their target customers.

Neon Signs making a grand comeback in the signage industry

We recently developed this unique logo in neon for Toronto’s Assembly Chefs Hall which sits outside the main entrance in Toronto’s financial district. Neon was chosen for its brilliance and uniqueness and also to reflect the modern concept of Assembly Chefs Hall.

The Challenge

The actual neon sign was a bit of a challenge because the glass components were dimensional to wrap around the metal structure of the sign itself and required expert glass bending skills which we managed to do.

Prior to the development of the signage, we met with city and the Historical Preservation department at City Hall to get the appropriate approvals to make this venture a great success.

We were happy to have been chosen to help the owners and management of Assembly Chefs Hall.

Promotional banners

Bo Concept, a long time client of Sign A Rama Toronto, relies on us to print and install their promotional banners. Several times a year we change their main promotional banner to deliver their current promotion. Located at Jarvis and Adelaide this promotional banner faces the intersection and we estimate the 20,000 people a day drive by or are stopped at the lights to see this ad. The cost is pennies per day ( maybe nickels now ) and it would be hard to find better value for your advertising dollars.

Sign A Rama Toronto have been working with and helping retailers for decades making opportunities work from their storefronts for signage and promotional banners. We’ve had the opportunity to work with some of the big retailers in Toronto like Prada, Nespresso, La Prairie, etc as well as local retailers. They rely on us making great looking signs “On Time, Every Time”.

New Signs for Epiroc

The management at world mining leaders Atlas Copco recently decided to create a separate company called Epiroc to enable further growth. The new company Epiroc will focus more closely on Mining, Civil engineering and Natural Resources customers while Atlas Copco will strengthen its focus on the Industrial customer. The new name was critically important to the future of the new company and so was how the signs were produced and installed in Canada for their Canadian facilities.

That’s why they chose Sign A Rama Toronto to rebrand their facilities with the new logo and name. After several meetings with their Senior Management, it was decided to go with these striking Channel Letters in their bold greys and yellow.

See more of our work on Channel Letters on our website.

We also did the interior lobby displays with brushed aluminum lettering in prominent locations throughout.

The end result was a very successful change over for their Canadian facilities with much praise and comments from Epiroc Management.

We want to thank Michael and the team at Epiroc for awarding us this opportunity

Exterior and Interior signs at Assembly Chef’s Hall

Signarama Toronto East is a respected name in Toronto’s Signage industry. We have been helping Toronto’s businesses get their perfect signs since 1986. We were recently contracted by Assembly Chef’s Hall to make exterior and interior signs for their new location. Assembly Chef’s Hall is a “chef-driven community market” located in the basement of the Google building at 111 Richmond St. W that includes some of Toronto’s top chefs in an eclectic high-end food court. Signarama Toronto East was commissioned to design, fabricate and install both exterior and interior signs for the market that would showcase the space and its unique vendors with creative and eye-catching signs.

The main exterior sign is a custom double-sided blade sign with wrap around red neon that boldly announces the Assembly brand to passersby, as does the large white acrylic letters in the windows spelling “ASSEMBLY”.

Each individual food vendor was provided custom signage to match their particular taste; which included illuminated signs, 3D acrylic letters, vinyl and custom menu boards. Signarama Toronto East was once again able to provide stunning signs in an array of flavours to meet the needs of our gourmet clients, using our expertise in design, fabrication and installation.

Sign A Rama Toronto East is a premier sign and display company which has been present in Downtown Toronto since 1986. We offer a comprehensive in-house design with our 3 graphic designers, complete manufacturing, and installation.

Large Format Banner Installation for K1 Speed

Signarama Toronto has always been a go-to signage company for large format banner installation. We’ve had in the past successfully completed many such turnkey projects for companies like H&M, Prada, Aldo, etc. So when America’s premier indoor go-karting company K1 Speed planned to expand into Canada and open their brand new racing centre at Downsview Park in Toronto, we were the obvious choice. We want to thank the management for giving us this opportunity to work with them.

Related- Signarama Toronto put up a 300ft banner for H&M Downtown store.

The project was a challenging one. Some of the walls were 30 feet high by about 150 feet wide and it had to be a perfect image.

Image and installation is everything because the franchise owners wanted the public and clients to feel like they were right on a large race track.

As you can see the results were fantastic and we can’t wait for them to open.

We love working with large-format prints and doing a full turnkey operation.

Whether it’s a large franchise or a small independent retailer we are here to help.
