When designing the perfect atmosphere for a coffee shop, the right signage can make all the difference. We recently had the pleasure of creating a stunning custom layered marquee sign for Cafe Collective in Cleveland, Ohio (Est. 2014). This piece perfectly captures the warm, inviting, and community-focused vibe that local cafes strive to achieve.

The Cafe Collective sign is a beautiful example of our layered signs. It features an ornate, shield-like outer frame that gives it a classic, vintage feel. The dark background makes the bold, serif "COLLECTIVE" lettering pop, while the elegant "Cleveland" script adds a touch of local pride and sophistication.
The piece is illuminated by our signature warm amber marquee bulbs around the entire perimeter, casting a cozy glow that looks incredible mounted against a rustic wood plank wall. The addition of the "P" logo at the top and the "EST. 2014" at the bottom completes the custom, branded look.
Coffee shops and cafes are all about creating a mood. A layered marquee sign offers incredible depth and dimension, allowing for complex logos, multiple fonts, and intricate shapes to be combined into one cohesive, eye-catching piece. The exposed bulbs provide both functional ambient lighting and that highly sought-after vintage aesthetic that customers love to photograph and share.
Whether you are an established local favorite like Cafe Collective or a brand new concept opening your doors, custom signage is a crucial part of your brand identity.
