Beautiful Signs, Beautiful Spaces at Skyline Church

A growing church in La Mesa, CA was celebrating their new sanctuary on Sunday, March 4, 2012 and designer, Janene Kraft of Sanctuary Living, reached out to Miramar Sign Works & Graphics to partner with their team, and meet the tight deadline.

The color palette was warm with terra cotta, gold, fuschia and deep purple accents, combined with brushed silver and duranodic bronze hardware. The result - a warm, inviting and comfortable sanctuary to worship in every Sunday morning.


ADA signage for rooms, restrooms, exits, stairs and more was designed to be compliant and beautiful at the same time.




Eye-catching directional and way-finding signage is effective and blends in with the space.



Inspirational signs remind the congregation of their mission and purpose every time they are in the space.

Let Miramar Sign Works & Graphics help you with your "beautiful space". Signs can be beautiful, compliant, inviting, and effective all at the same time.

Are Your Exterior Signs "Healthy"?

Recently we installed all new exterior signs for the La Maestra Family Community Health Clinic in City Heights, and it brings to mind whether your exterior signage is "healthy" or "sick"?

The new signs at La Maestra Health Clinic includes several different types of exterior signage:


1. Vibrantly painted panel signs with vinyl graphics applied to "welcome" visitors from a distance, and for easy location of the building.

2. Stainless steel channel letters mounted in two ways to best use the building's architecture: bottom-mounted to stand tall in an opening above a walkway, and mounted directly to the building face.

3. Illuminated light box, with push-through letters to welcome visitors both day and night.

What makes this new signage "healthy" is simple - the clinic is easily identifiable from all sides of the building and street views.

Take a walk around your property or space and pretend to be a new visitor. Can your sign be seen from the street, are visitors welcomed with a sign that grabs their attention, does your sign need illumination, or some new color? Maybe a Rx for some new signs, or updated signage is just what your business needs!

300 lbs of Stainless Steel

What is a sign company to do when a manufacturer of stainless steel tubing approaches them about new signs for their building and monument; do you offer them aluminum panels... or do you offer them stainless steel - the latter of course! So was the case with one of our recent sign fabrication and install jobs.


The result - 2 crisp and clean building panels, as well as panels for their double-sided monument. These signs are not intricate, but they make a bold statement. The stainless steel was polished to reveal a horizontal grain, and the vibrant dark and red vinyl, accented with white copy, provided just enough color to compliment the stainless steel without "steeling" its spotlight.


It's our job to make sure your company's re-branding process is a smooth and simple experience for you. Whether it's four 300lb stainless steel panels, or a simple tenant sign, our company can help you through every stage. Miramar Sign Works is insured and bonded, our installers are saftey trained and certified with over 20 years experience in the industry.

Call our office today at 858-566-3010 and let one of our Account Executives help you with your image - is it time for a new one?

Suspended Signs

Suspended signs are an eye-catching option and can work well in all spaces:

A restaurant nestled in a downtown San Diego hotel wanted a sign for the lobby. It needed to bring attention to the restaurant, and compliment the beautiful architectural elements such as the paneled walls and crown moulding. A clear acrylic sign with vinyl and digital graphics that pop with color was the perfect fit. The acrylic has a polished edge for the extra shine, and the edge grippers used in the suspension are a satin finished aluminum.

A corporate office in San Diego moving into a new space wanted a custom sign for their reception area. The suspended sign is seen from both the reception area and conference center. The perfect solution was a double-sided brushed aluminum sign with a dimensional logo on each side. The tricky install required exact precision for centering the sign in the interior window.

If you are interested in a suspended sign for your space, contact Miramar Sign Works & Graphics - we won't leave you hanging!
