Our Work – Signarama Ankeny, IA

Modern office spaces often incorporate glass walls, conference room windows, and interior glass doors to create an open, professional environment. While these features allow natural light to flow throughout a workspace, they don't always provide the privacy employees need. Custom frosted vinyl graphics offer a simple and attractive solution.

At Signarama Ankeny, we provide custom frosted vinyl graphics for office windows, glass doors, and interior glass partitions. Whether you're looking to add privacy to conference rooms, create separation between workspaces, or incorporate branded elements into your office design, frosted vinyl is a versatile way to enhance your commercial space.

What Is Frosted Vinyl?

Frosted vinyl is a translucent adhesive material applied directly to glass surfaces. It creates a frosted appearance that obscures visibility while still allowing natural light to pass through.

Unlike traditional blinds or curtains, frosted vinyl provides a clean, streamlined look without making an office feel closed off. It can be applied to interior windows and glass doors in a variety of ways, from simple privacy bands to custom-cut designs, patterns, and company logos.

Frosted vinyl is especially popular in modern office environments where glass walls, doors, and partitions are used to maintain an open layout while providing designated areas with additional privacy.

Benefits of Frosted Vinyl for Office Spaces

Frosted vinyl offers several benefits for businesses looking to improve the functionality and appearance of their office interiors.

1. Add Privacy Without Blocking Natural Light

Glass conference rooms, office doors, and private workspaces can make it difficult to hold meetings or work without distractions from surrounding areas. Frosted vinyl helps obscure visibility through glass while still allowing natural light to brighten the space.

It's an effective way to create more private work areas without completely covering existing glass.

2. Create a Professional, Modern Appearance

Frosted vinyl gives interior glass a clean, polished appearance. Whether applied to office windows, glass doors, or full glass partitions, it can help create a consistent and professional look throughout your workplace.

3. Customize Your Design

Frosted vinyl isn't limited to covering an entire window or door. It can be cut into custom shapes, patterns, lettering, or decorative designs to fit your office's style.

Businesses can choose simple horizontal privacy bands, geometric patterns, custom lettering, or other designs that complement their interior space.

4. Incorporate Your Company Branding

Frosted vinyl can also be used to display company logos, names, and other branded elements on glass surfaces. This is a great way to incorporate your branding throughout the office while maintaining a functional privacy solution.

Adding your logo to a conference room window or glass office door creates a professional, cohesive appearance for employees and visitors alike.

5. A Versatile Solution for Different Glass Surfaces

Every office has different needs when it comes to privacy and design. Frosted vinyl can be applied to a variety of interior glass surfaces, including windows, doors, and partitions, making it a flexible option for businesses of all sizes.

Whether you need a small section of frosting on an office door or a custom design across multiple glass panels, the application can be tailored to your space.

Where Can Frosted Vinyl Be Used?

Custom frosted vinyl graphics are a great fit for a variety of commercial and professional environments. Common applications include:

• Conference room windows and doors: Add privacy to meeting spaces while maintaining an open, modern appearance.

• Private office doors: Create visual separation between individual offices and shared workspaces.

• Glass entry doors: Add decorative frosting, business logos, or other custom graphics.

• Interior glass partitions: Add decorative elements or privacy to glass walls throughout the office.

• Reception areas: Create a polished first impression with custom branded glass graphics.

• Healthcare and professional offices: Provide additional visual privacy in designated areas.

From small office windows and glass doors to large conference room walls, frosted vinyl can be customized to fit a variety of applications.

A trailer used for city operations is another opportunity to keep department information visible and easy to recognize. Signarama Ankeny recently completed a cut vinyl lettering project for the City of Huxley Utility Repair, adding clear identification to one of their utility trailers.

The project featured custom-cut vinyl decals applied directly to the trailer. Cut vinyl is a practical option for adding lettering, names, and other identifying information to vehicles and trailers without the need for a full wrap. It provides a clean, professional appearance while helping ensure the trailer is easily associated with the department using it.

Custom Cut Vinyl for Utility Trailers

Trailer decals are a simple way for municipalities, contractors, and businesses to add identification to their work vehicles and equipment. Whether a trailer is being used for daily operations, transporting equipment, or traveling between job sites, professionally applied graphics help maintain a consistent and recognizable appearance.

For the City of Huxley Utility Repair, cut vinyl lettering offered a straightforward solution for identifying their trailer.

Updating exterior building signage is a simple way to improve a property's appearance and maintain clear, professional building identification. Signarama Ankeny recently installed new black dimensional acrylic letters at Colonial House apartment community in Ankeny, Iowa, replacing the property's old red lettering that had faded and was beginning to come loose from the building.

The new black dimensional letters give the apartment community a refreshed, modern appearance. With clean lines, a bold black finish, and added depth, the acrylic lettering creates a polished look that complements the building's exterior and makes the Colonial House name stand out.

Replacing Faded Building Letters with Dimensional Acrylic Signage

Over time, exterior building signs can experience fading, wear, and attachment issues from prolonged exposure to the elements. For apartment communities, commercial properties, and multi-unit residential buildings, maintaining exterior signage helps preserve a professional appearance for residents, visitors, and prospective tenants.

For Colonial House, replacing the existing red letters with black dimensional acrylic lettering provided a noticeable visual improvement. Rather than keeping the faded, deteriorating lettering, the updated signage gives the building a cleaner, more consistent look.

Dimensional acrylic letters are a versatile option for exterior building identification. The three-dimensional design adds visual depth, while the available colors and finishes make it possible to coordinate signage with a property's architecture and branding.

Building Signs for Apartment Communities and Commercial Properties in Central Iowa

Signarama Ankeny works with businesses, property owners, and property management companies throughout Ankeny, Des Moines, and Central Iowa to provide building signs and customized signage solutions.

If your building signs are faded, damaged, or starting to come loose, contact Signarama Ankeny to discuss replacement building letters and exterior signage for your Central Iowa property.

Maintaining commercial property signage is an important part of keeping office buildings, business parks, and multi-tenant properties looking professional. Over time, sign faces can fade, become worn, or need updating to reflect changes to a property. For property managers and commercial property owners in Des Moines and the greater Central Iowa area, replacing existing sign faces can be a practical way to refresh signage without replacing the entire sign structure.

We recently completed a sign face replacement project at Capitol Center in Des Moines, Iowa.

Updating Commercial Property Signs Without Full Replacement

Replacing sign faces can be an effective solution for commercial properties with existing signs that are structurally sound but need a visual update. Instead of investing in entirely new signs, property managers may be able to improve the appearance of their signage by replacing the existing faces.

This approach can be especially useful for office buildings, commercial real estate developments, retail centers, and multi-tenant properties where directory signs and building identification signs help visitors locate businesses and navigate the property.

Depending on the sign's condition and design, sign face replacement can help address faded graphics, worn surfaces, outdated information, and changes to a property's branding. It also gives property managers an opportunity to evaluate their existing signage and determine which updates will make the biggest difference.

Commercial Signage Solutions for Property Managers in Central Iowa

Managing commercial properties often means balancing maintenance needs, budgets, and the overall appearance of each location. Keeping exterior signage in good condition can contribute to a well-maintained property and provide clear identification for tenants, customers, and visitors.

Signarama Ankeny works with businesses, property owners, and property management companies throughout Des Moines, Ankeny, and Central Iowa to provide commercial signage solutions. From directory sign face replacement and building identification signs to new exterior signage, we can help evaluate your property's needs and identify options for updating existing signs.

Whether you manage a single office building or multiple commercial properties, maintaining consistent, professional signage can make a difference across your locations.

A storefront is an opportunity to show customers what your business is all about before they even walk through the door. For Highlander & Co., a custom clothing brand with a storefront in Des Moines’ Highland Park neighborhood, window vinyl helps communicate the brand’s identity while showcasing the products customers can find inside.

Signarama Ankeny completed this window vinyl project featuring clean, coordinated graphics across the storefront windows and entry door.

Window Vinyl That Highlights Products and Brand Identity

The storefront windows feature vinyl stripes along the top and bottom, giving the space a polished, organized appearance while sharing key information about the business.

The upper stripe reads, “an Original Brand of Custom Clothing | Des Moines, IA,” highlighting Highlander & Co.’s identity as a local clothing brand. Along the bottom, a second stripe lists the products available, including suits, jackets, slacks, and more. These graphics help passersby get a better sense of the store’s offerings while adding a consistent look to the storefront.

The entry door continues the design with a vinyl stripe displaying the business’s address at the top, followed by the Highlander & Co. logo and business name below. This creates a coordinated entrance that reinforces the brand and makes the storefront feel complete.

Custom Window Graphics for Des Moines Businesses

Window vinyl is a versatile option for businesses looking to make better use of their storefront glass. From displaying products and business information to incorporating logos and brand messaging, custom window graphics can add visual interest while serving a practical purpose.

The Elevate Iowa Manufacturing Tour is back on the road, and we’re proud to partner with ABI for a second year on the RV wrap!

Signarama Ankeny teamed up with the Iowa Association of Business and Industry (ABI) to help prepare a custom-wrapped Winnebago RV for the tour, which showcases Iowa’s manufacturing industry and inspires the next generation of skilled workers.

Traveling across the state, the RV highlights the companies, careers, and opportunities that keep Iowa’s manufacturing industry moving forward.

A Custom Vehicle Wrap That Takes Iowa Manufacturing on the Road

A vehicle wrap is an effective way to turn a vehicle into a mobile advertising tool. With custom graphics and eye-catching branding, a wrapped RV can reach audiences in communities across Iowa, creating opportunities to share a message wherever the road leads.

For the Elevate Iowa Manufacturing Tour, the Winnebago RV features ABI blue alongside a winding road graphic that runs across the design. Beneath the road, one side features green while the other features orange, giving each side its own distinct look. Sponsor logos are also featured on the wrap, recognizing the organizations supporting the tour.

The wrap includes open space where people can sign their names at tour stops, allowing participants to leave their mark as the RV travels from community to community. This interactive element makes the wrap more than a way to promote the tour. It gives attendees an opportunity to become part of the experience, creating a growing collection of signatures along the journey.

By bringing its message directly to communities throughout the state, the custom RV wrap helps build awareness of Iowa manufacturing and the opportunities available within the industry.

Supporting Iowa Manufacturing and the Next Generation

The Elevate Iowa Manufacturing Tour shines a spotlight on the important role manufacturing plays throughout Iowa. From creating career opportunities to supporting local economies, manufacturers contribute to communities across the state.

We’re proud to support ABI’s efforts to introduce more people to the industry and showcase the opportunities available to Iowa’s future workforce.

Working with ABI on the Elevate Iowa Manufacturing Tour RV wrap gives us another opportunity to contribute to a project that promotes Iowa businesses and encourages interest in manufacturing careers.

Making an Impact Across Iowa with Custom Vehicle Wraps

The Elevate Iowa Manufacturing Tour RV is a great example of how vehicle graphics can do more than change a vehicle’s appearance. A well-designed wrap can communicate a message, recognize sponsors, encourage participation, and support a larger mission wherever the vehicle travels.

We’re grateful to ABI for continuing to partner with us on this project and look forward to seeing the Elevate Iowa RV travel across the state, highlighting Iowa manufacturers and the opportunities they create!

The Huddle in Waukee, Iowa, wanted a custom interior sign that would do more than display their logo. The goal was to create a branded wall feature that reflected the atmosphere of the space and the experience they want guests to have when they walk through the doors.

For this project, we installed a custom layered printed sign made up of three separate pieces. The top panel features The Huddle’s logo and name, creating the main focal point of the display. Two additional printed panels are positioned underneath, each adding to the story behind The Huddle’s brand.

The middle panel features a custom noun definition, describing The Huddle as “a gathering place for good friends, great food, and the love of the game.” The bottom panel follows with a verb definition, describing what it means to huddle: “to come together, raise a glass, and cheer on your team.”

Each piece was installed using standoffs, creating space between the panels and giving the finished sign a dimensional, layered appearance. The three-piece layout adds depth to the wall while keeping the logo and messaging easy to read.

Custom Layered Signage for Waukee Businesses

Layered printed signage is a great option for restaurants, sports bars, retail spaces, offices, and other businesses looking to incorporate branding and messaging into their interiors. Separating a design across multiple panels can create more visual interest than a traditional flat wall sign while still providing plenty of room for logos, graphics, and custom messaging.

For The Huddle, the combination of the logo, noun definition, and verb definition creates a branded wall display that feels connected to the space and reinforces what the business is all about.

Signarama Ankeny provides custom interior signage and business signs for companies throughout Ankeny, Waukee, Des Moines, and Central Iowa. From layered printed wall signs and dimensional lettering to other custom interior signage solutions, we can help create signage that fits your brand and your space.

Interior signage can do more than fill an empty wall. It can communicate a company’s identity, reinforce its values and create a workspace that feels connected to the brand. For businesses looking to create a more intentional office environment, custom interior signage offers an opportunity to incorporate branding and company messaging directly into the space.

For Dubois’ corporate office in Ohio, Signarama Ankeny helped bring the company’s culture and brand messaging into the workplace through a collection of custom interior signage. As a chemical supplier, Dubois’ industry provided a natural foundation for the creative concept, incorporating periodic table-inspired elements into the office signage.

Custom Mission, Vision and Values Displays

The project included two dimensional Mission, Vision and Values boards, giving Dubois’ guiding principles a prominent place within the office. Rather than keeping important company messaging in an employee handbook or internal document, custom wall signage allows those ideas to become a visible part of the workplace.

These types of office signs can help businesses reinforce their culture while creating a more branded and professional environment for employees, clients and visitors.

A Custom Display Centered Around Dubois’ People and Industry

A standout feature of the project was a custom display built around the statement “Our People are our catalyst.” Dimensional lettering was paired with 12 periodic table-inspired signs, creating a connection between Dubois’ company culture and its work as a chemical supplier.

Each of the 12 element-style signs represents a specific Dubois value, focus or principle. For example, “Ta” represents Talent, while “Ci” represents Continuous Improvement. Using the familiar format of the periodic table gives each message its own visual identity while tying the collection together around a concept that is directly connected to Dubois’ industry.

The display shows how a company’s industry can provide inspiration for creative, meaningful interior signage. Rather than relying on generic office graphics, the design incorporates elements that are relevant to Dubois while reinforcing the company’s people, values and culture.

A Custom Catalyst Display

The periodic table theme continues with a large custom display centered around the word “Catalyst.” An oversized element-style graphic featuring “Ct” with “Catalyst” underneath is paired with the definition of the word, creating a prominent focal point within the office.

The display connects the scientific concept of a catalyst with Dubois’ messaging and the statement “Our People are our catalyst.” It also ties together the periodic table-inspired signage throughout the space, giving the collection a consistent theme and purpose.

Custom Interior Signage for Businesses

A well-designed office can communicate a lot about a company before anyone says a word. Custom interior signage can help businesses showcase their brand, highlight company values, recognize employees, identify different areas of a facility and create a more polished workplace environment.

From dimensional lettering and branded wall signs to custom displays and environmental graphics, there are many ways to incorporate a company’s identity into an interior space. Businesses can also draw inspiration from their industry, products, services or company culture to create signage that feels unique to their organization.

The Dubois project is one example of how custom office signage can combine branding, company culture and industry-specific design to create a cohesive workplace environment. Whether you are updating an existing office, moving into a new corporate space or looking for ways to better incorporate your brand into your facility, custom interior signage can help transform blank walls and unused spaces into meaningful branded features.

Signage doesn't always need a new design to make an impact. Sometimes, replacing existing graphics is all it takes to give a business a cleaner, more polished appearance.

Signarama Ankeny recently replaced the window graphics at Springer Floor Care, recreating the same graphics they already use on their building. The familiar design remains, but the new graphics give the windows a fresh, well-maintained appearance.

Replacing aging window graphics can be an easy way for businesses to maintain their exterior without changing their established branding. When graphics begin to show wear from everyday exposure, updating them can help keep the building looking professional and well cared for.

Window graphics can also be a practical way to add branding to a business without taking up additional wall or ground space. From company logos and service information to decorative designs, graphics can be customized to fit a variety of commercial windows and spaces.

For Springer Floor Care, the goal was simple: keep the look they already know while giving their windows a clean new finish.

If your existing window graphics are starting to show their age, Signarama Ankeny can help with replacement graphics designed to fit your existing space.

When people visit a rehabilitation clinic, finding the right entrance should be simple. The building sign is often the first visual cue that confirms they’ve arrived at the right place.

For Stuart Rehab Clinic, Signarama Ankeny created a custom building sign designed to give the clinic a clean, recognizable presence on the exterior of its facility. The project combines a white BeBond backer panel with routed PVC letters finished in the clinic’s blue brand color.

The finished sign is straightforward, dimensional, and easy to identify—an ideal fit for a clinic providing physical, occupational, and speech therapy.

A Building Sign Designed Around the Brand

The Stuart Rehab Clinic sign starts with a white BeBond backer panel that provides a crisp, uniform foundation against the building exterior. Mounted to the panel are routed PVC letters in the clinic’s blue color.

That combination does more than display the clinic’s name. It reinforces the visual identity patients and families associate with Stuart Rehab Clinic.

The dimensional PVC lettering also adds depth to the sign, giving it a more substantial appearance than a simple flat graphic. The blue letters stand clearly against the white panel, creating a strong contrast that helps the clinic name remain visible from a distance.

Sometimes the most effective building signs aren't the most complicated. A well-chosen combination of materials, color, and dimensional lettering can create a finished look that feels intentional from every angle.

Supporting a Clinic With Three Areas of Therapy

Stuart Rehab Clinic provides physical, occupational, and speech therapy, serving patients with different rehabilitation and therapy needs.

That makes clear identification particularly important. Whether someone is visiting the clinic for physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, or accompanying a family member, the exterior building sign provides an immediate point of recognition.

The new signage gives the clinic a defined presence on the building and helps establish a consistent visual connection between the facility and the Stuart Rehab Clinic name.

Why BeBond and PVC Work Well Together

The materials selected for this project each play a specific role.

BeBond provides the smooth, clean background for the sign, while the routed PVC letters create the dimensional effect. Using the clinic’s blue color for the lettering ties the finished sign directly to the brand.

Together, these materials create a sign that balances durability, visibility, and a polished appearance.

The result is a building sign that doesn't need excessive graphics or decorative elements to get noticed. The clinic's name and colors do the work.

From an Exterior Wall to a Recognizable Destination

A business sign can change how a building feels.

For Stuart Rehab Clinic, the new signage gives the exterior a finished, branded appearance while making the clinic easier to identify. The white panel creates separation from the building, and the dimensional blue lettering gives the name visual presence.

It’s a relatively simple design, but the details matter: the contrast, the dimensional lettering, and the use of the clinic’s established color all contribute to a sign that feels like it was made specifically for the business.

That’s the advantage of custom building signage. Instead of trying to make a standard sign fit the building, the materials and design can be selected around the business itself.

When a business relies on its vehicles every day, consistent branding across the fleet can make a big impact. Heartland Heating & Cooling has continued to build its branded vehicle presence, and this latest project brings their recognizable look to another service van.

Signarama Ankeny recently completed a custom van wrap for Heartland Heating & Cooling, featuring a full, cohesive design that carries the company's branding across the vehicle, including the windows.

This isn't the first time we've helped Heartland Heating & Cooling put its brand on the road. We've also added window perf to the back window of one of their trucks, helping create a consistent look across their service vehicles.

A Cohesive Look Across the Entire Vehicle

A well-designed vehicle wrap should work with the shape and features of the vehicle rather than treating each surface separately. On this van, the graphics were designed to flow across the body while incorporating the windows into the overall design.

Perforated window vinyl, also known as window perf, was used on the windows to continue the graphics across the glass. This helps eliminate the visual break that can happen when wrapped body panels meet uncovered windows.

The result is a more uniform appearance that makes the van look like one complete, professionally branded vehicle.

Window perf is also a practical option for businesses that want to maximize their available branding space without completely blocking visibility through the windows from inside the vehicle.

Building the Heartland Heating & Cooling Brand on the Road

For Heartland Heating & Cooling, branded vehicles are an important part of their day-to-day presence. Their trucks and vans travel to service calls, customer homes, jobsites, and throughout the communities they serve.

Each vehicle creates another opportunity for potential customers to see and remember the Heartland Heating & Cooling brand.

By maintaining a consistent look across their vehicles, Heartland Heating & Cooling can create a stronger and more recognizable fleet presence. From van wraps to truck window graphics, thoughtful vehicle graphics help turn their service vehicles into mobile advertising.

Vehicle Wraps and Graphics for Your Business

A commercial vehicle wrap can be a valuable investment for businesses that spend a lot of time on the road. Whether you need a full wrap for a work van, graphics for a truck, or window perf to complete an existing design, vehicle graphics can help your business stand out wherever your vehicles travel.

Signarama Ankeny provides vehicle wraps, van wraps, truck wraps, fleet graphics, window perf, and custom vehicle graphics for businesses throughout Ankeny and Central Iowa.

If your business has multiple vehicles, we can also help create a consistent branding approach so your fleet looks professional and recognizable from one vehicle to the next.

When a business updates its logo or branding, those changes often need to carry over to the physical signs customers see every day. For an established location, updating the existing signage can be a simple way to make sure the property reflects the business as it looks today.

That was the focus of a recent signage update for Mark’s Dancewear in Johnston, Iowa. Signarama Ankeny updated several existing sign areas throughout the property to reflect the business’s updated logo and branding.

The project included an updated directional building sign, a new logo sign above the entrance, and updated tenant panels on the monument sign. While each sign serves a different purpose, updating the branding across all three areas gives the location a consistent look.

Bringing Mark’s Updated Branding Across the Property

Mark’s Dancewear already had signage in place throughout the property. The goal was not to add new sign locations, but to update the existing signage so it matched the business’s current branding.

The larger directional building sign features the updated Mark’s Dancewear logo along with an arrow pointing toward the entrance. This sign remains an important part of the property’s existing signage and now reflects the business’s current look.

At the entrance, the logo sign above the door was also updated to match. This creates continuity between the directional signage customers see as they approach and the branding they see when they reach the storefront.

The project also included updated tenant panels on the monument sign. Because the monument sign is already positioned to be seen from the road, updating the panels ensures that the Mark’s Dancewear branding customers see from their vehicles matches the rest of the property.

Together, these updates bring the same logo and visual identity to several existing sign locations around the Johnston property.

Updating Existing Signs After a Logo Change

A logo update does not stop at a website, social media profile, or printed materials. If an older version of a logo is still displayed on exterior signage, the physical location can quickly feel out of step with the rest of the brand.

Updating existing signs can be a practical way to address that without changing the overall layout of the property. Instead of adding new signage, businesses can focus on the sign locations that still feature outdated branding and bring them up to date.

For Mark’s Dancewear, that meant carrying the updated logo across multiple exterior sign areas so customers see the same branding whether they are approaching the property, looking for the entrance, or passing the monument sign.

The result is a more cohesive exterior that reflects the Mark’s Dancewear brand as it stands today.

Commercial Signage Updates for Johnston and Central Iowa

Keeping exterior signage consistent with current branding is an important part of maintaining a polished business location. Whether a company has changed its logo, refreshed its colors, or simply needs to replace outdated graphics, existing signs can often be updated rather than completely redesigned.

Signarama Ankeny works with businesses in Johnston, Ankeny, Des Moines, and throughout Central Iowa on building signs, directional signage, monument signs, tenant panels, logo updates, and other commercial signage projects.

Mark’s Dancewear’s project is an example of how updating several existing signs can bring an entire property in line with a business’s current branding. If your business has recently updated its logo and the signage at your location still features the old one, updating those signs can help make sure your physical storefront reflects your brand everywhere customers see it.

Exterior signage plays an important role in helping customers find a business and recognize its brand. When a company offers multiple services or operates different spaces within the same building, signage can help create a consistent brand presence while making each space easy to identify.

Signarama Ankeny recently completed exterior signage for MEND, installing custom channel letter signs on different sides of the building. Both signs feature the shared MEND name, while distinct capsule graphics help identify the two spaces: MEND Integrative Wellness and Pilates at MEND.

One Brand, Two Spaces

MEND uses the same core branding throughout its business, with one space dedicated to Pilates at MEND and the other offering its broader integrative wellness services. The exterior signage was designed to reflect that connection while giving each side of the building a visual distinction.

Both signs prominently display MEND in individual dimensional channel letters, creating a clean and professional appearance. The capsule graphics differentiate the two spaces without making the signage feel like separate brands.

Rather than using a raceway, the channel letters were mounted directly to the building. This creates a streamlined installation and keeps the focus on the dimensional lettering and branded graphics.

The result is a cohesive exterior that reinforces the MEND brand while helping visitors identify which space they are looking for.

Custom Channel Letter Signs for Pilates at MEND

Channel letter signs are a popular choice for businesses looking for dimensional exterior signage with strong visibility and a polished appearance. Each letter is individually constructed, allowing channel letters to be customized to fit a company's branding, including its lettering style, size, colors, and other design elements.

Using shared design elements across multiple signs can also help businesses create a stronger, more recognizable presence. In this case, the consistent MEND lettering ties the building together, while the individual graphics help distinguish the spaces.

Channel Letter Signs in Ankeny and Central Iowa

The right commercial building signage can make a significant difference in how a business is seen and recognized from the street. Exterior signs should be easy to identify, appropriately sized for the building, and designed to represent the brand professionally.

At Signarama Ankeny, we work with businesses throughout Ankeny and Central Iowa on a wide range of exterior signage projects, including channel letter signs, illuminated signs, dimensional lettering, building signs, and custom business signs.
