15 years of experience
At Trace On Design, we believe signage does far more than point people in the right direction—it sets the tone, introduces a brand, and brings built environments to life.
We sit at the intersection of practical craftsmanship and modern architectural design, engineering sign blanks, modular wayfinding systems, and production-ready drawings for design-conscious studios, sign shops, and architects.
From a Small Print Shop to the Digital Drawing Board
Our journey began over 28 years ago. Long before digital drafting and 3D rendering existed, our founder grew up learning the art of lithography in his father’s print shop at just 14 years old.
That hands-on upbringing taught us two fundamental truths that guide our work every day: first impressions matter, and attention to detail is everything.
After decades in the shop—working with everything from metal fabrication, channel letters, and EPS foam to CNC routing and installation—we saw a gap in the industry.
Sign shops and architecture firms were spending too much time wrestling with complex technical CAD drawings or trying to source clean, high-quality, blank structural signage.
That’s why we created Trace On Design—an architectural design consultancy and e-commerce platform built to make sign purchasing, customization, and fabrication simple, reliable, and beautifully executed.
1. Simple, Honest Materials
Great signs start with great foundation materials. We utilize high-grade aluminum, precision-cut acrylics, exterior-grade powder coatings, and durable hardwoods engineered to endure the elements—whether installed in sun-baked plazas or damp coastal air.
2. Built for the Industry
We speak the language of sign fabricators, contractors, and architects. Our blank signs are designed to be easily customized by local sign shops with vinyl graphics or paint, while our technical CAD drafting and 3D renderings are delivered 100% production-ready.
3. Clean Aesthetics Meets Structural Integrity
A sign can’t just look good on a screen; it has to work in the physical world. Every product and detail set we produce is backed by nearly three decades of hands-on manufacturing knowledge—ensuring effortless mounting, long-term durability, and structural reliability.
Whether you’re a local business owner looking for a clean sign blank, a national sign franchise needing overflow CAD drafting support, or an architectural studio designing a complex multi-tenant wayfinding project—we are here as your dedicated design and hardware partner.
Based near Atlanta, Georgia, we ship sign blanks across North America and collaborate on custom architectural design projects worldwide.
