Rebranding Signage

Rebranding? Your Complete Signage Replacement Checklist

Rebranding touches more signage than most businesses expect. This checklist helps Ottawa-area businesses identify every touchpoint — so nothing gets missed.

Lundon Calling manages rebranding signage programs for businesses across Ottawa and Eastern Ontario — from single locations updating their exterior sign to franchise operators executing a franchisor-directed brand refresh across multiple sites. The checklist below reflects what a complete rebrand signage replacement actually involves.

Rebranding Signage Checklist — Every Touchpoint

Most businesses discover through this checklist that the scope is larger than expected. That is a reason to engage a professional early — not a reason to worry.

Exterior Signage

  • Exterior fascia or building-mounted sign (new sign permit may be required if dimensions or illumination change)
  • Pylon or monument sign panel replacement
  • Window graphics and vinyl lettering — full removal and replacement, old adhesive must be cleaned before new graphics are applied
  • Awning or canopy signage
  • Blade or projecting sign
  • Directional and parking signage if brand colours or logo are featured

Interior Signage

  • Lobby or reception wall sign or dimensional logo
  • Branded feature walls and wall graphics
  • Wayfinding and directional signs if brand colours change
  • Room identification and door signs if branded
  • Menu boards and display graphics (restaurants and food service)

Vehicle & Fleet

  • Vehicle wraps or decals on all branded fleet vehicles
  • Trailer graphics if applicable

Digital & Temporary

  • A-frame and sandwich board signage
  • Trade show and event display materials
  • Promotional banners and window clings

Things Most Businesses Miss

  • Hard-hat stickers and site safety signage for construction and trade companies
  • Uniform embroidery or printed apparel (outside Lundon Calling's scope — flag for your rebrand coordinator)
  • Digital signage content — screens and displays — flag for your AV or IT team
  • Landlord notification: some leases require landlord approval for significant sign changes even if dimensions stay the same

How Lundon Calling Manages a Rebrand

Four steps from audit to completed switchover — managed by Lundon Calling.

1

Full signage audit

We document every existing sign at your location(s) — type, size, condition, and permit status.

2

Replacement scope

We identify which signs need full replacement, which can be refaced or updated, and which require new permits.

3

Phased or simultaneous replacement

Depending on your rebrand timeline, we coordinate phased replacement or a single-day switchover for maximum brand impact.

4

Old sign removal and disposal

Included in our rebrand scope — proper removal of old signage, hardware cleaning, and surface preparation before new signs go up.
