Louisiana Sign Factory Designs!!

How to Design a Sign. At Louisiana Sign Factory, we make designing your custom sign easy, whether it's a Channel Letter Sign, Monument Sign, Halo Back-Lit Sign, or any other type of signage.

To get started, follow our simple step-by-step design process. First, we guide you through each detail, helping you choose the best options for your needs. Then, we ensure you receive a high-quality sign that’s ready for easy self-installation.

Submit a Picture of Your Storefront
  • Why It Matters: Understanding your sign’s placement area helps us design it accurately and deliver a precise quote.
  • How to Do It: Start by stepping outside and taking a clear, straight-on photo of your storefront with the door visible. This image allows our software to properly scale your sign. As a result, we can provide a better design and a more accurate quote.

Next, measure the width of your door in inches and include that information with your photo. This small step makes a big difference in ensuring the perfect fit.

Choose Your Sign Design
  • Why It Matters: Choosing the right design allows you to match your sign to your brand and space effectively.
  • How to Do It: Begin by browsing our wide selection of generic sign styles or explore our custom design options. Whether you prefer Cloud/Common Channel Signs, Monument Signs, Channel Letters, or another type, we provide designs that align with your business identity.

Next, send us your logo to personalize the design. Ideally, provide a high-resolution AI or EPS file for best results. However, a JPG or compressed image works for your initial quote. By sharing your logo early, you help us create a design that truly reflects your brand.

Send Your Information to Us

  • Why It Matters: We need key details to begin designing your sign and to give you an accurate quote.
  • How to Do It: Start by texting a clear photo of your storefront to (985) 626-1642. Make sure to include your name, email address, and phone number so we can contact you. Without this information, we won’t be able to process your submission.

Next, email your logo to info@louisianasignfactory.com. We’ll incorporate your logo into the design and use it to calculate an accurate quote. Sending your logo early helps us create a professional, branded sign that meets your expectations.

  • What Happens Next: First, within 24 hours, we will email you a superimposed design of your sign on your building, helping you visualize it in your space.Then, in the same email, you’ll receive a detailed price quote along with clear instructions on how to proceed with your order.
