Architectural Signage

Architectural Signage That Elevates Your Built Environment — Uniondale, NY

Make your property memorable, navigable, and unmistakably on-brand with Architectural Signage that integrates seamlessly with the building itself. At Empire Sign & Design, we collaborate with owners, architects, and general contractors to design, engineer, fabricate, and install purpose-built sign systems that look like they were always meant to be there—because they were planned that way from the start.

Why Architectural Signage Matters

Great buildings deserve great communication. Architectural Signage turns facades, entries, corridors, plazas, and campuses into clear, intentional experiences. It aligns form and function so visitors find their way intuitively, tenants feel proud of the environment, and your brand identity carries through every touchpoint. The outcome is a place that works better and projects lasting value.

Integrated Design for Brand and Building

Every site has its own language—materials, lines, light, and scale. We study that context, then craft sign families that echo those cues while meeting visibility and readability goals. Monument elements, primary identification, dimensional letters, wayfinding, directories, plaques, and environmental graphics share a common design DNA, so nothing feels piecemeal. Colors, typography, and finishes are calibrated to your standards and the architect’s palette for a unified presence indoors and out.

Material Systems Engineered to Endure

Longevity is designed in, not added later. We specify aluminum plate and extrusions for rigidity and corrosion resistance, stainless steel where durability and refinement matter, high-performance acrylics and glass for clarity, and stone or concrete accents when mass and permanence are part of the story. Finishes are selected for real-world conditions, from UV-stable coatings and powder coat systems to anti-graffiti and non-glare treatments that keep surfaces legible and beautiful across seasons.

Precision Fabrication, Structure, and Finish

Details make the difference between a sign and a statement. We model assemblies for clean seams, hidden fasteners, serviceable lighting, and proper drainage. Structural frames are sized for wind loads and substrate conditions, welds are finished smooth, and illumination—front, halo, or integrated edge—uses efficient, UL-listed LEDs with balanced brightness. Letterforms are cut and polished to maintain crisp geometry, and multi-material interfaces are engineered to avoid galvanic corrosion over time.

Compliance, Accessibility, and Code

Architectural Signage must do more than look right—it has to be correct. We align programs with local ordinances, landlord criteria, and life-safety requirements, and we integrate ADA-compliant components with tactile lettering, Braille, contrast ratios, and non-glare surfaces where required. Our team prepares permit drawings and submittals, coordinates reviews, and ensures mounting heights, clearances, and egress markings are documented and verified on site.

A Proven Process from Concept to Installation

The engagement begins with discovery, site review, and a message schedule that maps every location and function. Design development produces scaled elevations and material boards so stakeholders can visualize the system in context. Value engineering protects intent while meeting budgets and timelines. Fabrication follows a documented quality checklist, and installation crews deliver precise alignment, weatherproof connections, and spotless finishes. After turnover, we provide maintenance guidance and fast reorders to keep your program consistent as spaces evolve.

Start Your Architectural Signage Plan

Whether you are delivering a new build, repositioning an asset, or unifying a multi-tenant property, our team will translate your brand and architectural vision into a cohesive signage system. Share drawings or schedule a walkthrough, and we’ll propose materials, finishes, and placements that enhance the architecture, simplify navigation, and stand up to daily use—bringing enduring clarity and character to your place.
