Tokyo Central: Modernizing Retail Spaces with Custom Signage Solutions
We had the privilege of managing a complete signage project for our client, Tokyo Central, at its locations in Yorba Linda and Gardena. The goal was to give their stores a more modern and cohesive look that aligns with their branding.
Our team took on the challenge of designing, fabricating, and installing a wide range of custom signage for retail stores, carefully matching the design, materials, and colors to Tokyo Central’s established branding and décor. The project brought both creativity and precision, ensuring we followed Tokyo Central’s branding guidelines while delivering impactful signs that enhanced the overall shopping experience.
Signage Types for Grocery Stores
Retail stores, especially supermarkets, operate under strict branding guidelines designed to create brand awareness and foster customer loyalty. To comply with these guidelines while staying within budget, we offered a variety of grocery store signs that met both functional and aesthetic requirements.
Here are the different types of custom grocery store signs that were part of this project:
1. Channel Letters
Channel letters are an essential signage solution for retail stores. They enhance the visibility of the store’s name and attract potential customers with bold, three-dimensional designs. For Tokyo Central, we fabricated and installed sets of custom channel letters, grabbing attention and boosting brand recognition. These letters play a crucial role in modern signage solutions for retail stores, ensuring that the store name is visible both day and night.
2. Pylon Signs
Pylon signs are crucial for supermarkets located on busy roads or in larger retail complexes. These tall, illuminated signs help attract passing customers and make the store’s brand name visible from a distance. This type of sign is one of the most effective modern signage solutions for businesses looking to increase brand visibility.
3. Multi-Tenant Signs
Multi-tenant signs are vital for larger retail spaces like supermarkets. They provide brand exposure for individual tenants and help shoppers identify different departments or businesses located within the store. For this project, we included a multi-tenant sign to ensure tenants at Tokyo Central had strong visibility—another example of how grocery store signs can enhance customer navigation and brand recognition.
4. Interior Signs
Interior signs are key for guiding customers through the store and promoting specific departments. As part of the project, we created a custom interior sign for Tokyo Central’s sushi department, helping customers easily find their way and reinforcing the brand’s high-quality service. Custom interior signs are an integral part of any modern signage solution, especially in busy retail environments where clear communication is essential.
Project Highlights: Channel Letters, Monument Sign, and More
For the Tokyo Central project, we fabricated and installed a comprehensive set of signs, including:
- Channel Letters: Bold and eye-catching channel letters that emphasized the Tokyo Central name.
- Monument Sign: A custom monument sign to enhance the exterior and match the modern look of the store.
- Pylon Sign: A tall, illuminated pylon sign to attract potential customers from afar.
