— Sign Company in Edison
Almost every sign Gogi Signs makes for Edison is read from a moving car. Route 1, Route 27, Amboy Avenue, and roads around Raritan Center put distance between drivers and buildings, making driveway signs just as important as storefront signs.
At 40 mph, a sign gets roughly two seconds of attention. That makes letter height, stroke weight, contrast, and simple messaging more important than fitting in extra words.
Edison also has different sign allowances for wall and freestanding signs. Wall signs use the larger of two measurements, while freestanding signs are tied to frontage and the smaller measurement.
Raritan Center and nearby industrial parks have different needs: building identification, dock and door numbers, tenant directories, and signs that can be updated as businesses change. Installation often requires lifts and scheduling around operating hours.
Gogi Signs handles the survey, design, fabrication, installation, and future reface through one sign company and one contract.
— Our Services
Measured, drawn, built, craned into place and looked after afterwards by one company.
Copy, letter height and contrast set against the distance and the speed the sign is read from. Proofs come back at true scale on a photograph taken from the road, not from the sidewalk in front of the building.
Welded steel pylon structures, aluminum cabinets, routed and push-through faces, channel letters and flat panel work. Cabinets are built with removable retainers so a face can be changed later without a crane.
Certified installers, licensed and insured, with lift and crane work for pylons and high walls. Footings, wind loading and the power run are settled at drawing stage rather than discovered on the day.
We measure the street frontage and the building face, locate the underground services near the footing, check the sight lines from both approaches and photograph the site. Those numbers drive everything after.
Tenant Panel Changeovers
New panels for pylon and multi-tenant boards when a lease turns over, matched to the existing cabinet, retainers and lighting so one panel changes and the rest of the board stays untouched.
Failed LEDs and ballasts, water in a cabinet, cracked faces, storm and vehicle damage, and the annual look at a pylon most owners never book until something goes dark on a Friday.
— Why Gogi Signs
Property managers and shopping center owners keep coming back to Gogi Signs for unglamorous reasons: the survey numbers are right, the structure is engineered before it is quoted, and the panel that arrives four years later still matches the six beside it.
Twenty years of it has also made us a wholesale supplier to other sign companies, who buy from us and inspect the weld, the paint and the wiring before their own client ever sees the job.
— Our Products
What a highway frontage, a strip center and an industrial park each order most.
Aluminum cabinets with printed or routed acrylic faces, lit evenly by LED rather than blotchily by whatever was in the last one. Single or double sided, and built so one face swaps without touching the frame.
Each letter fabricated as its own can. Front-lit letters carry furthest across a parking lot; reverse-lit halo letters look considerably more expensive and suit an office or medical frontage.
Flat and routed panels in aluminum, Dibond or acrylic, or letters fixed straight to the fascia. In a strip center this is the sign that identifies you once the pylon has got the car into the lot.
Individual panels for pylon and multi-tenant boards, plus site directories and suite boards. Made to the sizes already on your structure so a single tenant changes without reworking the whole sign.
Large-format letters and wall panels legible from an approach road, plus dock and door numbering, yard directionals and entrance identification for warehouses and research buildings.
Cut lettering, partial wraps and full wraps in 3M cast film, fitted by certified installers. For a trade or a carrier working out of Edison, the fleet covers more road in a week than any fixed sign.
— Sizes & Permits
Edison runs two allowances that pull in opposite directions, and knowing which one applies changes the sign you can build. The wall sign takes whichever measurement is larger. The freestanding sign takes whichever is smaller.
Wall sign
Measured off the front building wall, and the more generous of the two tests wins.
Worked on a 60 ft wall, 18 ft high
§ 37–62.10a · 150 sq ft cap per sign, 18 in projection, nothing above the roofline
Freestanding sign
Tied to street frontage, and the tighter of the two tests wins.
Worked on 200 ft of street frontage
§ 37–62.10b · 20 ft high or building height, 15 ft setback, one per 300 ft of frontage
The frontage test only stops biting above 375 feet, so most single-tenant sites on Route 1 and Route 27 land well under the headline seventy-five square feet. Shopping centers are treated separately and far more generously: one sign per main driveway entrance, up to 250 square feet and 25 feet high, again capped by the same frontage ratio.
Industrial and research addresses invert the usual pattern. A freestanding sign in the light industrial and research zones may carry a much larger face than a commercial one but must sit lower to the ground, and attached signs follow the commercial rule. Roof signs are prohibited township-wide, as are off-premises signs outside the narrow billboard provisions added in 2024, which apply only in the light industrial zone.
A zoning permit comes first, and Edison’s own sign information sheet asks for the survey, elevations with area calculations, the setback to the nearest property line, the height of the principal building and the method of illumination. A construction permit follows, with an electrical component for anything lit. Producing those drawings and calculations is our part of it.
The application is filed by you or your landlord. We assist with permits; we do not file them on your behalf. The permit is issued to you by the Township of Edison, and no sign company can promise you an approval.

— Your Local Sign Company
Longevity shows up in the dull details: artwork still on file when a tenant changes, panel sizes recorded so the tenth changeover matches the first, and a crew that has been up your pylon before and knows what is behind the panel.
— Get Started
Send the address and the street frontage in feet and a real figure comes back rather than a range.
For a wall sign, the width and height of the building front is enough. For a pylon or a tenant panel, a photograph of what is standing there now saves a site visit.

— FAQs
A rough working rule is an inch of letter height for every ten feet of viewing distance, and more where traffic is fast or the background is busy. At two hundred feet that is twenty-inch letters as a floor, not a ceiling. Contrast matters as much as size, and cutting the copy back to a name and a category usually buys more legibility than making the sign bigger.
Yes, and a lot of the pylon work here is exactly that. Failed LEDs and ballasts, water sitting in a cabinet, cracked or yellowed faces, storm and vehicle damage. Where the structure and cabinet are sound, a reface and a relamp costs a fraction of a replacement and goes in without new footings.
