Signage Projects: Planning, Design and Installation
When a restaurant, shop or office opens, moves or changes its look, one sign isn't enough. It needs its name on the facade, a lightbox or pylon by the road, graphics on the windows, signs and wayfinding inside, and often a neon piece on the wall. For us that is one project: we plan it, help design it, and have it made and installed. You get one quote, one schedule and one contact.
What a project can include
- Facade: illuminated letters and logos, lightboxes, pylons.
- Windows and doors: vinyl graphics, opening hours.
- Interior: LED neon, illuminated logos, wayfinding and door signs, menu and table signs.
- Special builds: LED edge lighting, promo vehicles, stage logos for events.
Planning
We start with the site. We visit, measure and photograph it, and write down which signs are needed and where each one goes. If the premises are rented, we go through the landlord's requirements for signs.
In Tallinn a facade sign has to be approved by the city district, and the building owner has to agree. We help with this: we prepare the drawings and the photomontage the application needs. If you'd like, we can file the application for you as a separate service. A decision can take up to 30 days, so it's worth starting early.
We set the schedule by your opening date.
Design
You may have brand guidelines, an interior designer's drawings, or only a logo. We work from what there is. We make a visual of every sign, showing it in place with its dimensions, and then a technical drawing. If something can't be built exactly as drawn, we say so straight away and suggest the closest option. LED neon lettering, for example, needs to be at least 8–10 cm high.
Making and installation
We make LED neon signs, acrylic signs and printed signs ourselves. Illuminated letters, large lightboxes, pylons and steelwork are built to our drawings by our partners. Most of the work is done in Tallinn.
We install across Estonia; abroad, our partner installers do it. Your electrician brings the 230 V supply to the sign, and we tell them where it is needed and how much.
Projects
- DAO Asian Kitchen, Ülemiste: 11 signs for the restaurant that opened in November 2026, among them neon motifs on the wall and hanging illuminated letters.

Since 2023 we have completed over 300 projects. See more of our work.
What to send us
- the address or shopping centre, and the opening date if it is known;
- your logo or brand guidelines;
- a floor plan, or photos of the facade and walls;
- the landlord's requirements for signs, if there are any;
- a first list of the signs you would like.
If you don't yet know exactly what you need, you can start with a paid consultation, online or on site.
Price
The quote lists every sign on its own line, so you can add or drop signs. Installation and transport are shown separately too.
Frequently asked questions
Can you work with our interior designer or architect?
Yes. They send their visuals and sizes, and we make the signs to them. If a detail has to change so it can be built, we agree it with them first.
How long does a project take?
A single sign is ready 2–3 weeks after the design is approved. For a full set we agree the schedule with you. Exterior signs that need the city's approval take longer, so tell us the opening date as early as you can.
Do you work with agencies and other sign companies?
Yes, on whole projects and on single pieces, and we are open to new collaborations.
Do you help with permits and approvals?
Yes. We prepare the drawings and the photomontage that the city and the landlord ask for. If you'd like, we can file the application with the city of Tallinn for you as a separate service. The building owner's consent comes from you or your landlord.
Do you install?
Yes, across Estonia. Abroad, our partners do it. The price of installation is agreed for each project.
What warranty do I get?
The statutory two-year liability for defects applies.
