— Sign Company in Palisades Park
Broad Avenue Defines the Palisades Park Business District
Palisades Park is geographically small and its commercial activity is concentrated rather than spread across large suburban retail zones. The Borough’s own code identifies Broad Avenue as the major business area in the community, and notes that commercial and residential properties sit very close to one another throughout the Borough.
That produces a different sign environment from Paramus or Wayne. Businesses along Broad Avenue sit close to the sidewalk, beside neighboring storefronts, below apartments or offices, near residential streets and within mixed-use buildings, along a corridor carrying both pedestrians and local traffic. Sign size alone does not create visibility there — placement, letter proportions, storefront width, windows, awnings and customer approach do.
Gogi Signs has handled storefront signs, channel letters, dimensional lettering, custom awnings, window graphics, office signs, directories, ADA signage, tenant changes, vehicle graphics and recurring commercial sign work throughout Palisades Park since 2005.
— High-Rise & Interiors
Broad Avenue Signs Are Read From the Sidewalk
Customers often see a Palisades Park business while walking along the block rather than approaching across a parking lot. At that distance the storefront has several surfaces, and each one has a job:
- Main storefront sign : The business name and logo, and the strongest visual element on the façade.
- Channel letters : Individual illuminated or non-illuminated letters giving clean identification across the storefront.
- Dimensional letters : Metal, acrylic and PVC lettering for businesses that do not need an illuminated sign.
- Custom awnings : Defining the individual storefront and adding a second place for identification.
- Window graphics : Hours, secondary branding, services and promotions, at reading distance.
- Door graphics : Business hours, suite information, address details and customer instructions.
The main sign identifies the business quickly; the storefront carries the detail. That split matters more here than in most towns, because the ordinance caps how much sign area the façade can hold in the first place.
— The 2025 Ordinance
Palisades Park Rewrote Its Sign Rules in December 2025
Ordinance 2025-27 modified Article V of the zoning code to create more uniform standards for nonresidential signage. Anything specified against the previous rules should be checked again before it is fabricated.
- Permit required : Before a nonresidential sign is erected, altered, located or relocated.
- Wall–sign area : Total wall-sign area may not exceed 10% of the front façade area.
- And a frontage cap : Wall signs are also limited to two square feet for every linear foot of front façade occupied by the business. Both limits apply.
- One wall sign : Generally one per business, although a building with frontage on more than one street may qualify for one additional sign.
- Window signs : Window-display and affixed window signs may use up to 20% of the total window area where they are installed.
- Awnings are signs : Canopies, awnings and marquees carrying signage are considered business signs, not separate architecture.
- Temporary signs : Permitted with a permit unless exempt, generally limited to 12 square feet. The initial permit may run 30 days and may be renewed for up to 60 days, with separate provisions for banners in the public right-of-way.
- Industrial wall signs : The horizontal dimension may not exceed 30% of the wall width, and height scales with the wall: 2 ft up to 40 feet wide, 2.5 ft between 40 and 80 feet, 3 ft at 80 feet or wider.
- Change of occupancy : A sign associated with a change in occupancy or ownership requires an application for a sign permit.
- Replacement route : A more direct path exists where the sign is not physically expanded beyond the allowed limits, the replacement complies with Article V, and no additional signage beyond what is permitted is proposed.
A sign application asks for the property address, applicant and owner information, owner consent where required, a scaled rendering, dimensions, colors, composition, elevation from grade, lighting, existing signs, proposed sign information and the attachment method. Because two separate caps govern wall-sign area, a business occupying part of a multi-tenant building cannot calculate its sign from the width of the whole property. The application is filed by you or your landlord. We assist with permits; we do not file them on your behalf.
— Color Limits
Most Palisades Park Signs Are Limited to Two Colors
The 2025 ordinance restricts most signs to no more than two colors — and that count includes the background, the frame and any decorative elements, not just the lettering. Black and white are treated as colors, although either black or white may be used as an additional third color where it functions as part of the sign treatment.
For a branded storefront this is a real constraint rather than a formality. A logo built around four or five colors has to be adapted for the exterior sign, which means deciding early which two carry the identity at storefront scale and how the logo reads when it is reduced to them.
The wider brand palette does not disappear — it moves. Window graphics, interior signs, printed materials, vehicle graphics and other permitted applications can carry the full color scheme, so the exterior sign stays compliant while the rest of the identity stays intact. What does not work is designing the storefront sign first and discovering the limit at permit stage.
The main sign identifies the business quickly; the storefront carries the detail. That split matters more here than in most towns, because the ordinance caps how much sign area the façade can hold in the first place.
— Illumination
Illumination Has Defined Hours and Shielding Rules
Palisades Park allows illuminated signage subject to specific restrictions, and they shape the fixture as much as the face. Artificial sign illumination is generally prohibited after 11:00 p.m. or before 7:00 a.m. unless the premises are occupied and attended.
- No flashing signs.
- No highly reflective sign treatments.
- No fluorescent red or green paint.
- No illuminated tubing outlining roofs, doors, windows or wall edges.
- One floodlight per sign surface for external illumination, properly directed and shielded so it produces no glare or offensive light beyond the property.
The shielding rule carries extra weight here because commercial and residential properties sit so close together. Light direction, mounting height, the neighboring residences, the sign face, the building position and the existing exterior lighting are all worked out at the design stage — a properly built illuminated sign identifies the business without relying on flashing or building-outline lighting to do it.

— How It Works
From Site Survey Through Installation
Gogi Signs has served New Jersey businesses since 2005, and handles Palisades Park projects from the initial property review through fabrication, installation and future changes.
01
Site Survey
We measure the storefront, office, commercial building or interior space and document existing signs, windows, awnings, entrances and mounting conditions.
02
Design and Planning
Artwork is fitted to the actual tenant frontage, the sign-area limits, the available colors, the building architecture, viewing conditions and Borough requirements.
03
Fabrication and Printing
Approved projects move through fabrication, cutting, large-format printing, vinyl production, finishing and electrical assembly where applicable.
04
Installation
Our insured installation crew coordinates site access, removes existing signage where that is included, and installs the completed signs and graphics.
05
Future Service
When a tenant changes, lighting needs repair, window graphics need replacement or an awning needs new fabric, we can return to the property.
— Bilingual Signage
Korean and Bilingual Storefronts on Broad Avenue
Palisades Park has one of the best-known Korean commercial districts in New Jersey, with Korean-language businesses concentrated along Broad Avenue and a long-established Korean business community. A storefront here may need English business identification, Korean business identification, a bilingual logo, Korean service information and English hours or customer instructions.
Fitting two full versions of everything onto the main sign reduces both to letter heights that read from neither the sidewalk nor the street. Four decisions settle the layout instead:
- Primary identification : Which business name or logo carries the storefront at distance.
- Secondary language : Whether it fits on the main sign at a readable height, or belongs on another surface.
- Window and door space : Detailed bilingual messaging, hours and operational information moved to the glass and the entrance.
- Color limits : Whether the bilingual layout still lands inside the Borough’s two-color rule.
That last one is where bilingual layouts most often come apart. A two-language sign has more elements competing for separation, and only two colors to separate them with — so the hierarchy has to come from size, weight and spacing rather than from adding another color.
— Restaurants
Broad Avenue Restaurants Speak at Four Distances
The restaurant market along Broad Avenue creates a storefront where several messages have to coexist without crowding each other. Each distance takes a different sign:
- Across the street : Business name and logo.
- At the storefront : Awning or secondary identification.
- At the window : Menu promotions, hours and other close-range information.
- At the entrance : Pickup information, reservations, hours and customer notices.
- Inside : Menu graphics, wall signs, restroom signs, ADA identification and directional information.
A restaurant package covers channel letters, dimensional lettering, wall signs, custom awnings, window graphics, door graphics, interior wall signs, menu displays, ADA signage and temporary promotional graphics. Built this way the permanent storefront stays identifiable when the promotion in the window changes — and the promotion can change without a permit, because the permanent sign is not carrying it.
— Offices & Medical
Professional and Medical Offices Need Interior Identification
Palisades Park has professional, medical, dental, financial, legal, wellness and service businesses operating in shared buildings and mixed-use properties, where the exterior sign is limited by the same façade caps as everyone else on the block. The sign path continues well past it.
- Exterior identification : Building-mounted tenant signs and entrance identification.
- Building directories : Tenant names and suite information.
- Reception signs : Dimensional logos, acrylic signs, metal lettering, plaques and branded wall graphics.
- Suite signs : Office names, room numbers, departments and replaceable tenant identification.
- Privacy graphics : Frosted and decorative film for treatment rooms, conference rooms, offices and glass partitions.
- ADA signs and wayfinding : Tactile and Braille identification, plus directions to offices, stairs, restrooms, departments and shared spaces.
The exterior sign gets a visitor to the building. The interior system gets them to the correct business — and unlike the storefront, it is not competing for a share of a capped façade area.

— Tenant Changeover
Moving Into an Existing Palisades Park Storefront?
A large sign left by the previous business is not evidence that the same dimensions are still available. Legally existing nonconforming signs may remain and be maintained — but one associated with a change in occupancy or ownership requires review by the appropriate approving authority.
What you may inherit
- Wall-sign mounting and existing façade penetrations
- Channel-letter electrical wiring
- Sign cabinets and awning frames
- Window graphics and door lettering
- Directory systems and suite signs
- Reception signs
A usable cabinet may need only a new face, an awning frame may suit recovering, existing electrical may support new signage and a directory may need one tenant panel replaced. Other components come out because they are damaged, outdated or incompatible with current sign requirements.
What the changeover covers
- Previous tenant sign removal
- Existing-condition survey and storefront measurements
- New exterior identification and channel-letter replacement
- Wall-sign and sign-face replacement
- Awning recovering
- Window-vinyl removal and new window graphics
- Door lettering, directory updates and suite signs
- Temporary opening graphics, then final installation
Palisades Park’s mixed-use buildings, retail properties and multi-tenant offices turn over regularly. Where tenant-specific pieces are individually replaceable from the outset, the next change is a panel swap that leaves the rest of the property consistent.
— Repair & Maintenance
Sign Repair, Refacing and Replacement
The Borough requires signs to remain safe and secure. The current ordinance allows the Zoning Officer to order repair, alteration or removal of unsafe signs, and permits immediate removal where a sign creates a direct hazard to people or property — which makes deferred maintenance a compliance question, not only a cosmetic one.
Gogi Signs repairs and updates commercial signage even when another company originally fabricated it:
- Channel-letter repair
- LED and electrical service
- Replacement sign faces
- Dimensional-letter replacement
- Wall-sign repair
- Awning recovering
- Window-vinyl replacement
- Directory updates
- Tenant-panel replacement
- Sign removal
- New tenant conversion
- New tenant conversion
Where the existing structure remains useful, repair or refacing usually makes more sense than replacement. Where continued repair is no longer practical, we fabricate new signage to the current Article V limits rather than reproducing what was there.

— FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Signs in Palisades Park
Yes. The current ordinance requires a sign permit before nonresidential signs are erected, altered, located or relocated. The application is filed by you or your landlord; we assist with the drawings and dimensions it asks for.
Two limits apply together. Wall-sign area is capped at 10% of the front façade, and separately at two square feet for every linear foot of front façade occupied by the business.
Generally one. A second may be permitted where the building has street frontage on more than one street.
Window-display and qualifying affixed window signs may use up to 20% of the applicable total window area.
Palisades Park generally limits signs to two colors, counting the background, frame and decorative elements. Black or white may function as an additional third color in certain designs. The wider palette can move to window graphics, interior signs and vehicle graphics.
Generally no. Sign illumination is restricted after 11:00 p.m. and before 7:00 a.m. unless the premises are occupied and attended.
Yes, subject to the Borough’s temporary-sign permit, area and time limits. Temporary signs are generally limited to 12 square feet, with the initial permit valid for up to 30 days and renewable for up to 60.
Yes. We can inspect and service existing commercial signage regardless of who originally manufactured it when a safe and practical repair is possible.
It can. A sign associated with a change in occupancy or ownership requires a sign application, and a nonconforming sign in that situation requires review by the approving authority.
In industrial zones the horizontal dimension may not exceed 30% of the wall width. Height scales with the wall: two feet up to 40 feet wide, two and a half feet between 40 and 80 feet, and three feet at 80 feet or wider.
Yes, and it is worth doing them together. Design is charged once, the run prints in one pass so the color holds, and the approved file is kept so a bus added to the fleet later still matches. See fleet graphics.
