Ready to Explore the Possibilities?
We’d love to meet with you to size up your opportunity.
Unlike another Troy sign company, we don’t just build custom signs. We are also your source for Troy Plaques and Troy Outdoor Signs.
Everything we design is with environmental branding in mind. Your space reflects your brand identity and custom signs help tell your story. Our design team and production specialists take the time to really get a hold of your story, so they can develop the perfect signage for your building. We handle everything from single signs to complex wayfinding systems. No matter your needs, we help move your people in the right direction.
Ideation offers more than all other Troy sign companies. Let us show you what’s possible.
You bet we can! You know your brand best and we love collaborating with clients who are visionary and creative. If your design is still in the planning stages, our graphic designers can bring it to life.
Bring us your ideas. We can help you validate it and expand upon it. If it’s not feasible, we recommend alternatives to better help you realize your objective.
Most projects are broken down into two cost components. First, there is the cost of designing the perfect sign for your space. Second, there are the actual charges for producing and installing the sign. Some customers come to us with a design already in place. Therefore, the cost breakdown ensures you only pay for the services you require. Once we establish your needs, we can help prepare a quote for both design and production that fits comfortably into your budget.
As a guideline, here is a general breakdown of normal production costs:
If you’re looking for a partner that will design the right solution, use quality materials and deliver according to promise, you won’t find us expensive at all. We may not be the cheapest alternative in Troy – but we offer more than signs. We tell your story and help brand your space with our imagery. Build a persona that resonates with your customers.
The first step is to meet and discuss your ideas, needs, and existing assets. Next, we visit your location and assess the architecture of the space and the current design.
If the space is under construction, we can review the blueprints and renderings. Once we have an understanding of your needs, we develop a master sign plan that details all the necessary signage and graphic elements. For exterior signs, we review the local sign ordinances so that your sign adheres to all rules and regulations.
Finally, we begin putting our creative ideas to paper. The design process starts with conceptual renderings and concludes with engineered drawings that define all the important details. Material samples, prototypes, and 3D models are available to show you all the possibilities.The greatest benefit in hiring Ideation is peace of mind.
If you are looking for a environmental graphic designer or any type of signage design in Birmingham, we are the sign company that offers it all.
The amount of time required to produce your sign depends on the scope of your project. Some items can be installed in as little as one week. An exterior facade sign often takes about two weeks to produce. However, a comprehensive wayfinding system might take as much as a couple of months. During your initial visit, we discuss your needs and present you with a more specific estimate.
Another thing you need to consider is the Troy sign permit. Obtaining the permit generally takes two weeks after design approval. Ideation handles your city permit for you.
Here is a general timeline for reference:

Branding is a process and all our products are designed to work together towards the goal of communicating your story.
We design your custom sign to incorporate the images and wording found in your brochures and on your website. Through the use of environmental graphics, we further tell your story inside your building. Additionally, wayfinding systems are important complements to both your indoor and outdoor signage.
