From the first idea to installation

A sign project, step by step

A successful sign takes careful planning as well as skilled manufacturing. Each stage connects the intended design with the building’s requirements and the quality of the installation.

  1. 01

    Plan the project and prepare the quote

    We gather photos of the existing sign, your logo, the available dimensions and your objectives. These details help us develop an initial proposal and prepare a quote for the replacement or installation.

    The starting point: your identity, your location and the result you want.
  2. 02

    Survey the site with a specialist

    A technical site visit allows us to assess the position, existing structure, fixing options, access and electrical connection requirements. The project can then account for the actual installation conditions.

    The building’s requirements are considered before manufacturing begins.
  3. 03

    Approve the quote and design

    The quote sets out the chosen design and the work included. The visual allows the composition, proportions and colours to be confirmed before manufacturing begins.

The PATINOIRE letters, Dany Sport logo and Jean Tinguely script are brought together in a single drawing. The composition, proportions and finishes then guide manufacturing.

  1. Manufacture the custom sign

    The letters, logo and script are made to the approved design. The illuminated elements are assembled to create a cohesive sign, down to the details of the lettering.

    The letters take shape in the workshop.
    The red script is manufactured separately.
  2. Complete the sign in the workshop

    The completed sign reveals the balance between the large letters, central logo and script. The lighting and assembly are checked before preparations for installation.

  3. Install the new sign

    Installation brings together positioning the structure, securing the elements and arranging the connections. The sign takes its place outdoors, with a layout suited to the building.

Your questions answered

Your illuminated sign project in Fribourg

sales@theswissneon.ch
Can you replace an existing illuminated sign?

Yes. We assess the existing sign, its location and the available structure to plan a replacement. The Jean Tinguely ice rink project in Marly illustrates this support, from the initial assessment to installation.

Why arrange a technical site visit before installation?

A technical site visit allows us to examine the supporting surface, fixings, access and electrical connection requirements. It helps us specify a sign and installation method suited to the building.

How can I get a quote for a sign in Fribourg?

Send us your logo or text, photos of the location, your preferred dimensions and the town or municipality where the project will be installed. If you are replacing a sign, include photos of the current installation. These details allow us to prepare your free quote.

Can you create custom illuminated letters and logos?

Yes. The lettering, logo and composition are designed around your visual identity and the sign’s location. The project shown here combines the PATINOIRE letters, Dany Sport logo and Jean Tinguely script.

What determines the cost of an illuminated sign installation?

The quote depends on factors including the sign’s dimensions, composition and manufacturing, as well as the supporting structure, access and installation conditions. Assessing the project allows us to define the work included.
