Shop signage design
Storefront signs, window decals and A-frame signs, designed for your actual facade. People should see your name from across the street, not guess it.
We design and prepare print-ready files. Your print shop prints and installs.
Who it is for
When your facade needs work
A shop, salon or café that needs a sign before the first day.
You changed your logo, but the facade still shows the old one.
Your window could show what you do, your hours and your contacts, and right now it shows nothing.
You need an A-frame sign on the pavement to bring people in from the main road.
What we design
Everything on the facade
The main sign above the door, sized for your facade and readable from a distance.
Logo, services, opening hours and contacts on the glass, without covering the view inside.
A two-sided street sign with your logo and a clear message or offer.
Opening hours, phone, Instagram and payment logos, all in one clean plate.
Price boards, wayfinding and small signs inside, in the same style as the facade.
Every item at the right size, in CMYK, with bleed. Your print shop can use them straight away.

Example
A sign in real life
For this salon we designed the sign on the building and an A-frame sign for the street, both based on the logo we made for them.
The building sign had to be readable from the road, and the A-frame had to bring in people walking past.

What people usually ask
Do you print and install the sign?
No. We design and prepare the files, and your print shop prints and installs. If you don't have a print shop yet, we tell you what to ask them for.
Do I need a logo first?
If you have one, we use it. If not, it is better to start with the logo, because the sign is built around it. See logo design.
Do I need a permit for a shop sign?
In many places in Portugal a facade sign needs a permit or a notice to the câmara municipal. The rules depend on the town, so check with your câmara or your print shop before you order.
What files do I get?
Print-ready PDF files in CMYK, with bleed, at the size your print shop asks for, plus vector versions of each design.
How long does it take?
It depends on how many items you need. You see the dates in the quote before we start.
Do you work outside the Algarve?
Yes. We work across Portugal, from the Algarve to Lisbon and further. All we need are good photos of your facade and the measurements.
The price depends on how many items you need and their sizes. Send us a photo of your facade and tell us what you want, and we send you a quote.
