Services We Provide
No matter what stage of a project you are in, Morrison Architectural Sign can help. From design and prototyping to fabrication and installation, we have the expertise to deliver high-quality signage solutions that exceed your expectations.
Design
Effective signage starts with thoughtful design. Our design team works with clients, architects, and environmental graphic designers to create sign packages that are clear, code compliant, and visually aligned with the surrounding architecture. We consider every detail, including typography, color, materials, ADA requirements, mounting methods, and placement, to ensure each sign is both functional and aesthetically cohesive.
Whether developing a new sign system from scratch or adapting an existing brand into a physical environment, we provide design solutions that enhance navigation, reinforce identity, and meet project specifications. Our collaborative approach ensures that the final product looks exceptional and performs its role effectively for years to come.
Programming
Successful signage begins with a clear plan. Our sign programming services determine exactly what signs are needed, where they should be placed, and how they will work together as a complete system. We review floor plans, codes, and project requirements to create a detailed sign schedule that outlines sign types, messages, and locations for every part of the facility. This ensures consistency, code compliance, and an efficient installation process.
Prototyping
Prototyping allows us to test and refine sign designs before full production begins. We create sample signs or components using the specified materials, finishes, and fabrication methods to confirm appearance, durability, and compliance with project requirements. This step provides clients and project teams with a tangible example to review, ensuring that colors, typography, textures, and construction details meet expectations and align with the overall design intent.
Fabrication
While manufacturing technology has advanced dramatically, sign fabrication remains a craft that relies on skill, precision, and hands-on experience. Many of our artisans have been perfecting their trade for more than a decade. Their knowledge, attention to detail, and dedication ensure every sign we produce meets the highest standards of quality.
Our experienced fabrication team manufactures your signs in our Carrollton, TX facility using industry standard tools and processes. Utilizing cutting-edge machinery, our capabilities include:
- Laser Cutting & Engraving
