Sign company in Riverside, CA Channel letters, monument signs & storefront graphics.

Downtown Riverside is built around the Mission Inn, the Main Street pedestrian mall and the blocks along University and Mission Inn Avenues. Restaurants, law offices, salons, galleries and small retailers fill older buildings here, and parts of downtown sit inside historic districts where the city may look closely at sign materials, size and placement. That usually favors halo-lit or non-illuminated dimensional letters and window graphics that respect the facade instead of covering it. We design with those expectations in mind, and we bring the 3D mockup into the conversation early so the property owner and the city can react to a real picture of the sign rather than a rough sketch.

Outside downtown, most Riverside signage lives along busy arterials. Magnolia Avenue runs past the Galleria at Tyler and a long string of strip centers, Arlington Avenue and Van Buren Boulevard serve neighborhood shopping in the south and west, and University Avenue carries steady traffic between downtown and UC Riverside. Canyon Crest Towne Centre and Riverside Plaza each have their own tenant mix and landlord rules. For businesses in these centers, the sign usually has to fit a center-wide sign program covering letter height, colors and illumination. A pad building near the 91 or the 215 may also need a monument or pylon panel that drivers can read at speed.

Business signs in Riverside are reviewed by the city's planning and building staff, and signs in downtown historic districts may get an added design review. Most shopping centers also have their own sign criteria that the landlord has to approve. Tov Sign prepares the drawings, handles the city submission and puts together the landlord approval package for you.
