Facility Rebranding gives Cohesive Look to Outdoor Signs
City of Spokane Brushed Aluminum Wall Sign
Facility rebranding may be prompted by a logo change, management change, or just old graphics begging for an update. Whatever the case, Signs for Success can create a cohesive rebranding plan incorporating a new logo, logo colors or other theme.
Facility rebranding may include:
- A monument sign
- Outdoor building signs
- Parking signs
- Indoor wayfinding signs
- Suite signs and lettering
- Indoor wall graphics, and so much more!
We have done rebranding, ADA signs, and indoor-outdoor sign projects for several businesses in and around Spokane. Our most recent facility rebranding project was for City of Spokane Solid Waste, formerly Spokane Regional Solid Waste.

“This was a [facility rebranding] project where we were replacing signs for City of Spokane Solid Waste as the city took over facility management from Wheelabrator Technologies, under Spokane Regional Solid Waste,” Signs for Success owner John Bogensberger said. Both the entry monument sign and the building sign needed to be updated with the new logo and name. We did the original wall sign many years ago and were able to access the old file that contained sizes and photos of the building.
“We knew that there were many holes where the old dimensional letters were mounted to the fascia, so we determined that it would make more sense to cover the area with brushed aluminum composite panels, and mount the new dimensional letters to them,” Signs for Success designer Vanessa Bogensberger said.

Each sign installation was unique. Once the holes from the old dimensional letters had been sealed, the new aluminum building sign was mounted directly to the fascia. Not only does it cover the holes, but it gives the big impact of a large scale sign. To replace the monument sign that marks the entrance of the site, we took a slightly different approach. “Since it was poured concrete, we determined that making a new flat surface over the raised logos was the best, most economical way to proceed. We mounted a 2×4 treated frame to the concrete face, then mounted the ACM panels with cut vinyl lettering on them to the frame,” Vanessa explained. It completely covers the old lettering and gives a professional and cohesive look to the new facility signs. “The biggest challenge was trying to figure out how to attach a new material to the existing sign,” Signs for Success production manager Denise Gillit said. “To make the frame to attach a new material to, we had to cut down wood to fit inside the concrete frame. It wasn’t horrible, just an added step.”

“You drive by now, and you can’t even tell that it wasn’t original,” Denise said.
Aluminum composite (ACM) was used for both new signs. It is an outdoor durable material made of two sheets of thin aluminum with a solid polyethylene plastic core. We can print directly to ACM, or like these facility signs, apply cut vinyl lettering or dimensional letters to it. ACM will look great and last for many years. If you want to change the look of your building, facility or site, we can help come up with professional and outdoor durable rebranding solutions.
