Here’s How Collab Sign & Design Helps You Figure Out Your Sign Needs
We don’t just make custom signs that capture attention and drive results; we help you get the right sign that answers the questions keeping you up at night.
We are the beacon that businesses turn to when they want signage done right. Here are a few sample questions we’ll ask to help with sign decisions:
Troubleshooting
- What size sign do you need or want?
- Have you asked your landlord about the comprehensive sign plan (CSP)?
- When do you need your sign?
- Where do you want to place or hang your sign?
Design & Planning
- What is your sign vibe? What’s your aesthetic?
- What is your sign budget? (“Chevy”, “Ford Explorer” or “Lambo”?)
- Have you allowed enough time for sign permitting?
- Who needs to review and approve the proofs?
- What sign materials do you want? (“I don’t know” is an acceptable answer!)
A note: Custom sign design is at the heart of what many sign companies do – including us. Our skilled designers work with you to create eye-catching signs that reflect your brand’s personality and attract new customers. (It’s kinda exciting!)
After we answer your sign questions, we move into the phase where you should have fewer questions if we’ve done our job right:
Production & Installation
- Dates, progress, and deadlines communicated
- Questions are answered, follow-up loop on repeat
- Delivery and installation are scheduled
- Installation is completed
- Success is achieved

#1 Reason? Top-Notch Customer Service
We aren’t the most dazzling unicorn in the sign industry, but we can safely say there is no one else like us, because we are ourselves. We’re entertainment industry folks who pivoted from producing film to producing signs. We live and breathe deadlines, collaboration, and a beautiful finished product. You can’t achieve this without quality service.
Have we been around as long as Signarama, Fast Signs, or AlphaGraphics? No. Are we a sign concierge that provides quality work while being attentive to your needs? Yes.
We can’t compete with the big chains like Fast Signs, nor do we want to. We want to be who we are for you. If you value clear communication, someone who answers questions quickly, resolves any post-installation issues, and respects you as a person rather than a quota, let’s chat!
Signs we love:
- Lobby signs – fun to make, room for creativity and let’s face it, Arizona: indoor installation!
- ADA signs – while required, these signs are about accessibility and being inclusive; this means a lot to us.
- LED signs – we’re certified with Watchfire digital signs.
- Window vinyl signs – from suite numbers to large storefront windows, vinyl always makes business owners happy due to speed, quality and utility. We like seeing happy clients.
Here’s Why You Can Trust Collab Sign & Design
First, we say what we do, and we do what we say. We lead with integrity, honesty, a firm handshake, and a nice smile.
Here’s more:
1. Local Expertise & Familiarity With Phoenix Regulations
Being local to Gilbert and Chandler matters; yet, being able to service additional areas like Tempe, Apache Junction, Casa Grande, Queen Creek, Halo Vista, Glendale, and Goodyear brings more than convenience to you; it brings you peace of mind. We know the unique needs that come with Phoenix’s regulations. Our top local priorities are:
- Knowledge of Phoenix zoning laws for different business districts
- Relationships with city inspectors and approval offices
Signs we love to permit:
- Building signs such as channel letters, dimensional letters
- Monument signs
- Exterior signs as required
2. Delightful Track Record, Portfolio & Reputation
We’ve worked with clients in Chandler, Mesa, Tempe, Phoenix, Glendale, and Queen Creek. And we’re just getting started.
We do our own site visits and are hands-on with the permitting process and installation. We believe in building relationships over transactions, and we do the work to make this a reality – even if it takes a little bit more time.
Industries we love:
- Retail
- Hospitality
- Commercial Real Estate
- Sports/Entertainment
- Health/Wellbeing
- Arts (Museums, Galleries, etc.)
3. We choose quality sign materials
We strive to offer the best sign materials for your budget. This is the art and skill of sign-making. If signmakers cut corners, the evidence of that will show up – either straight away or in a few years when the sign starts to falter way before it should.
A note: Phoenix’s harsh climate can fade or damage poor-quality signage in months. We want to work with materials that can withstand high temperatures and UV exposure. Quality matters to the life of your investment.
Sign materials we like:
- Aluminum
- Powder-coated steel
- UV-resistant acrylics
4. Collaborative Design
Have you ever been in a meeting where your ideas were not heard, leaving you feeling lost in the sauce? We do not want that for you.
We listen to your ideas while bringing our expertise to the table. With experienced sign designers, we work with you to create custom signs that incorporate colors, shapes, materials, and lighting to support your brand.
Additional signs we love to design:
- Commercial building signs
- Wall mural
- Pole signs and pylon signs,
- Whatever you need!
Closing remarks:
There are dozens of sign companies in the Phoenix area. Dozens! Any of them can probably get you what you need, but our goal is to get you the sign you want.
