Sign Programs:
Shopping Center Signs Most modern shopping centers are required to develop a master document upon construction called a sign plan. This document details the design standards negotiated with the city government for the shopping center or strip mall. Sign type, length, square footage, illumination type, and materials used for construction are often detailed throughout the document. You often see property managers who take over a shopping center rewrite sign criteria as the development gets updated.
Sign Permits:
