Global Signs & Graphics Inc., also known as GBL Signs, has released its 2026 Los Angeles Commercial Sign Planning Guide for business owners, commercial tenants, property managers and organizations preparing to install or update commercial signage.

The new guide draws on the company’s experience completing nearly 1,000 signage projects for approximately 200 customers since 2022. It explains the decisions businesses should address before approving a design or beginning production, helping them identify potential permitting, property and installation issues earlier in the process.Helping Los Angeles Businesses Plan Signage More ConfidentlyA commercial sign project can involve more than choosing a design and material. Building conditions, visibility, landlord sign criteria, local regulations, electrical requirements, installation access and project deadlines can all influence what may be produced and installed.

The 2026 Los Angeles Commercial Sign Planning Guide helps businesses understand how these factors interact and what information may be needed before a sign company begins fabrication.

The guide covers:

How to choose a sign type based on the building, brand and visibility requirements
Why tenants should review lease provisions and landlord sign criteria
How site surveys support accurate measurements and installation planning
When permitting and electrical requirements may affect a project
Factors influencing commercial sign costs and completion timelines
Material considerations for interior and exterior signage
Artwork requirements for clear and accurate production
Installation access, equipment and scheduling considerations
Questions businesses should ask before approving a signage proposal
“Business owners often begin with an idea of how they want their sign to look, but the building, property requirements and installation conditions can significantly influence the final solution,” said Gevorg Aghayants, owner and CEO of Global Signs & Graphics. “We created this guide to help Los Angeles businesses ask the right questions earlier, make more informed decisions and reduce the risk of avoidable revisions or delays.”Experience Behind the Guide

Global Signs & Graphics was founded in 2022 by Gevorg and Martik Aghayants as a family-owned, independently operated sign company. The Pacoima-based business has grown into a seven-person team with more than 110 years of combined signage experience.

Its team provides in-house design, fabrication, permitting coordination and professional installation for projects throughout Greater Los Angeles. Its commercial signage capabilities include storefront signs, channel letters, illuminated signs, lobby signs, wall graphics, wall murals, window graphics, large-format printing and other custom branding solutions.

The company’s owner-led approach allows project requirements to be reviewed across multiple stages rather than treating design, production, permitting and installation as unrelated services.Global Signs & Graphics operates under an active California C-45 Electrical Sign Contractor License and maintains general liability insurance, a contractor bond and workers’ compensation coverage. These qualifications support projects involving illuminated signs, elevated installations and other commercial signage applications requiring appropriate planning and installation experience.

A Resource for New Locations, Rebrands and Property Improvements

The guide is intended for businesses that are:

Opening a new storefront, office or commercial location
Replacing outdated or damaged signage
Rebranding an existing property
Moving into a location with established sign criteria
Coordinating signage across multiple areas of a workplace
Planning signs around a renovation or opening deadline
Comparing commercial sign types, materials and installation options
Rather than recommending one sign solution for every property, the guide encourages businesses to consider their building, audience, viewing distance, branding, budget and long-term maintenance requirements before production begins.

“Early planning can protect both the appearance of the finished sign and the customer’s investment,” Aghayants added. “Our goal is to help clients understand the complete process so they can move forward with realistic expectations and a signage solution suited to their property.”
