Custom Business Signs in the Bay Area
Want signage that actually works and doesn’t just hang there?
At BLR Visual Communications, we design, build, and install custom signage that helps Bay Area businesses stand out in all the right ways. Whether you’re upgrading your storefront, refreshing your campus, or outfitting a multi-floor office, we create signage systems that look sharp and work hard. From wayfinding and wall graphics to code-compliant monument signs, every element is crafted to reflect your brand and move people through your space with clarity and purpose.
Most sign companies stop at print-and-go. We don’t.
Our work is a combination of strategy, branding, and execution. We design for how people move, where they pause, and what they need to know — then back it with the technical know-how to meet Bay Area permitting requirements and building codes. Whether you’re in retail, hospitality, healthcare, tech, or higher ed, we tailor every sign system to your space, goals, and users.
Featured Bay Area Signage Projects
Tech Office (Bay Area)
Intricate Wall Wraps & Environmental Branding
A wall wrap can dramatically transform a space, but with a project this precise, success lies in the details. We partnered with multiple design firms to install a series of geometric wall wraps across a major Bay Area tech campus. As artists adjusted designs in real-time, our team adapted on the fly, producing multiple samples, matching exact color profiles, and engineering solutions for complex surfaces.
The final installation used textured wallpaper and laminated vinyl, wrapping around ceiling drops, outlets, and corners with millimeter precision. Each room took on a unique personality, staying true to the original vision while pushing the limits of wide-format print and fabrication.
SanDisk Campus Rebrand (Milpitas)
Exterior Signage, Lobby Graphics & Full Brand Implementation
SanDisk’s bold rebrand was more than a new logo — it was a total transformation of their visual identity. BLR was brought in to implement the new look across their Milpitas campus, from building façades to interior touchpoints.
We installed illuminated channel letters, glass vinyl logos, wayfinding signage, and a complete lobby branding package including dimensional logos and wall graphics. The project also included removal of legacy signage, repainting, and multiple mobilizations to ensure a seamless brand rollout. The result: a modern campus that reflects SanDisk’s innovation and momentum…inside and out.
Solar-Powered Monument Sign (San Jose)
Innovative Design & First-of-Its-Kind Approval
This solar-powered monument sign was the first of its kind to gain approval from the City of San Jose’s Planning and Building Departments. Powered by a 6′ x 6′ solar panel — strategically placed 70 feet from the sign for optimal exposure — the system uses battery storage to light 238 internal LEDs within a sleek 5′ x 8′ cabinet.
This project represents a powerful intersection of technology, sustainability, and design. By pushing for energy-efficient solutions, we set a new precedent for signage in commercial developments — and proved that bold ideas can move through city approvals when done right.
Cityline Banners (Sunnyvale)
Downtown Revitalization Through Urban Signage
As part of Sunnyvale’s ongoing downtown redevelopment, BLR produced and delivered 120 custom street pole banners for the Cityline project. These banners served a dual purpose: enhancing the visual appeal of public spaces while directing foot and vehicle traffic to public parking areas.
We used Sunbrella canvas and dye sublimation fabric printing to ensure vibrant colors and long-term durability. This project shows how signage can do more than inform — it can support placemaking, create identity, and elevate the everyday experience of a growing urban hub.
