Signage regulations can vary. We recommend checking with the City of Normal’s Planning & Zoning department for the most current requirements for your specific location. We are happy to provide the necessary design specifications to help with your application.

The lifespan of a sign depends heavily on the materials used and its exposure to the elements. An interior acrylic sign can last indefinitely, while a high-quality outdoor banner might last for several years. We always use durable, UV-resistant materials to maximize the life of every sign we produce.

Yes! A great sign is all about clear, effective design. Our in-house graphic designers are experts in layout and typography, and they can help you create a new design or refine your existing one to ensure it’s easy to read and makes a powerful impact.

Turnaround time varies depending on the complexity of the sign and the materials used. Simple yard signs and banners can often be produced in just a few days, while more complex storefront signs may take longer. We will always give you a clear timeline when you receive your project quote.
