A Fresh Look for a Trusted Name: College Street Animal Hospital Gets a Signage Makeover
When a well-loved local business moves, it faces a unique challenge: how to make a powerful first impression in a new spot while ensuring your loyal clients can find you. This was the exact situation for College Street Animal Hospital when they prepared to open their doors on one of downtown Toronto's most vibrant and busy streets.
They needed a complete signage solution that matched their modern new space and reflected the same warmth and professionalism their clients have trusted for years. We at Signarama Toronto were thrilled to partner with them to craft this new visual identity.
The Goal: Blending Trust with a Modern Look
College Street Animal Hospital wanted to communicate both its trusted legacy and its forward-looking approach to animal care. Our team was tasked with developing a complete, multi-faceted signage package that was clean, contemporary, and highly functional—both inside and out.
The Solution: A Complete Signage Package
We delivered a comprehensive solution that addressed every touchpoint, from the main facade to the interior exam rooms.
1. Exterior Facade: Clean & Professional
For the main storefront sign, we used sleek, non-illuminated 3D Cutout letters. This choice provides a sharp, dimensional, and modern look that gives the practice a strong visual presence against the building's clean lines. It's a sophisticated solution that's both professional and compliant with City of Toronto bylaws.

2. Street-Level Visibility: The Illuminated Blade Sign
On a bustling street like College, visibility is everything. To capture foot traffic and ensure the clinic could be seen from down the block, we installed a double-sided illuminated blade sign. This high-impact projecting sign reinforces the brand 24/7 and is crucial for guiding clients to their door.

3. Interior Experience: Clear & Welcoming
Inside, we continued the clean aesthetic with custom vinyl graphics and smaller interior way finding blade signs to clearly identify examination rooms. This wayfinding system helps clients navigate the new space with ease, contributing to a seamless and stress-free visit for both pets and their owners.

We Handle the Hassle: Full-Service Permit Support
Navigating sign permits in Toronto can be a complex and time-consuming process. The College Street Animal Hospital team took advantage of Signarama Toronto's full-service permitting support. We managed the entire process, successfully acquiring all necessary approvals from the City of Toronto and ensuring every sign met municipal regulations. This streamlined the project and let the client focus on their move.
A New Chapter in the Heart of Toronto
College Street Animal Hospital’s new location isn't just a change of address; it's a statement of growth and continued commitment to the downtown community. Their new, modern signage plays a vital role in announcing that message, turning their new space into a welcoming, professional, and highly visible destination for pet care.
