Their colors, content, and size sends an important message to the cars and pedestrians who pass your storefront each day. As the intimate front man of your business, signage needs to be an accurate representation of your company’s products, services, and culture. If you’ve noticed your signage isn’t drawing in customers, or feel that your business motives and sign design simply don’t match one another, it may be time to consider rebranding signs. Today, let’s take a look at when rebranding company signage is a good idea.

If the answer to either of these questions is yes, rebranding signs is something you absolutely need to put on your to-do list. Philosophy Change Has your company recently changed its moto, morals, or philosophy? If the change is drastic, rebranding is something your team will have to look at. Use images and short sentences to communicate your new philosophy, then add those designs to your interior and exterior signage to show the community how much your business has grown.
