United States Tennis Association (USTA) National Campus
Creative Sign Designs had the opportunity to partner with USTA and develop a signage program for their National Campus. The scope of work included main identification signage at the entrance as well as at the front of the Welcome Center.
Creative Sign Designs also did a complete wayfinding package thru-out the park, sponsor signage, court identification signs, and interior ADA signage for all buildings.
City of Tallahassee
The City of Tallahassee’s Cascades Park project was an undertaking due to the sheer amount of signage needed and landscape of the location. Upon completion, this social center would host 2.3 miles of trails for bikers and walkers, an outdoor amphitheater and open spaces for people to play, relax and enjoy good company. Creative Sign Designs was the logical choice for its custom wayfinding and branding solutions.
This project’s outdoor setting demanded the creation of a both detailed and well-planned-out wayfinding signage program. Creative’s experts fabricated bespoke hardware with materials like high-pressure laminates, stainless steel and durable etched substrates. The team is extremely proud to have made this facility worthy of the thousands who utilize it annually.

The Straz Center
Downtown Tampa is home to several major Creative Sign Designs projects. The David A. Straz, Jr. Center for the Performing Arts is one project featuring the work of Creative’s team. The Straz Center’s four sets of illuminated channel letters and a 16 mm full-color LED message board are the result of more than 20,000 hours of work.

Glazer Children’s Museum
Downtown Tampa is home to another custom channel letter project by Creative Sign Designs at the Glazer Children’s Museum, not far from the Straz Center. The Glazer Children’s Museum is centrally located near Curtis Hixon park and the Tampa Museum of Art. In order to stand out in the growing downtown landscape, Creative’s team incorporated the museum’s custom logo and color scheme into their back-lit channel letters.
Creative’s team worked directly with museum owner, the building’s architect and contractor for the project to deliver a custom sign installation that captures the fun of the museum, and blends with the building’s exterior aesthetic.
