Smart Signs Denver designs, builds, permits and installs custom signs across the Denver metro — and now you can one call gets your sign started — no showroom trip required.
A static sign says one thing forever. A Digicon digital LED sign changes anytime you do — lunch special at noon, weekend event on Friday, holiday hours in December — selling for you day and night, long after a printed sign has gone stale.
Four steps from idea to illuminated — and it starts with one quick call.
Call the shop and tell us what you're picturing — sign type, rough size, where it's going. It takes about two minutes.
We spec the sign with you and give you a straight number — no waiting days for a callback just to hear it.
We visit your location, measure, check electrical and confirm exactly what your city permit will require.
Your sign is fabricated, permitted and installed by our own crew — then lit up for opening day.
We don't wait on rentals or outside lift crews — and sign companies across the country count on us to put their signs up here in Denver.
Our own 30' bucket truck is on the road for our installs, service calls and repairs — so we can reach your sign, get it lit, and keep it lit on our own schedule.
We do sign installation for other sign companies nationwide — sign companies from across the country have Smart Signs install their signs in the Denver area, handled by our own crew and our 30' bucket truck.
Every sign is custom — start with a type, then call the shop and we'll walk you through the rest.
Digicon is our digital sign division — full-color LED displays that let you change your message anytime, from event lineups to daily specials. Digicon lives right here on the Smart Signs Denver site: one shop, one crew, one call.
Smart Signs Denver & Digicon Inc. has been building signs for Denver-area businesses since 2012 from our shop on Tennyson Street. Restaurants, retailers, offices, churches, car washes — if it has a name on the front, chances are we've lit one like it.
We're a full-service shop: design, fabrication, city permits, installation and service after the sale, all under one roof. When your sign goes dark, you call the same people who built it.
Real reviews from real customers, quoted from the platforms where they were posted. Ratings are shown per platform, exactly as each platform reports them.
“Absolutely outstanding service… The banner was completed and delivered in less than three hours! Drew was incredibly patient, kind, and accommodating enough to accept our rush order.”
“Amazing guys here! Needed an emergency banner same day and they sure made it happen. They had a 10ft banner ready so quick I was in shock! Will be returning to them for much more.”
“Drew and the team did a great job for our church sign… we have had people stop just to tell us how amazing our sign is.”
“Smart Signs absolutely saved us. We were in a tight spot with our gym buildout and needed signage done fast, done right, and done at a fair price. They delivered on all three.”
“Drew made a custom sign with many details that I wanted incorporated. Not only did he over deliver on his product, but his value, expertise, and customer oriented skills were unmatched. Thanks Drew!”
We're tucked in the alley just west of Tennyson — look for the mural doors, that's us.
Our shop is in the alley behind / just west of Tennyson Street, so we're hard to spot from the street. The photo is the real shop front — hand-painted murals on teal roll-up doors, with our SMART SIGNS letters above. When you see the mural doors, you've found us.
Call the shop and we'll walk you through it — design, permits and install, start to finish.
Nine ways we put your business on the map — every one of them a phone call away. Pick a service to read what it involves, or call the shop to get yours started.
The channel letter builds we offer — the specs are printed right on each card. On the call, tell us front-lit, halo-lit or both — we'll spec the rest.

Call the shop anyway — describe the closest match and tell us about your building, and the free site survey sorts out the rest.
Digicon Inc. is the digital sign division of Smart Signs Denver — and our showcase line. Full-color LED displays, electronic message centers and digital signage that change anytime, sell day and night, and are designed, installed and serviced by the same Denver crew.
Why businesses switch to digital: a static sign says one thing forever. A Digicon LED display lets you promote the lunch special at noon, the weekend event on Friday, and your holiday hours in December — all on the same sign, changed from your computer or phone.
What Digicon builds: outdoor electronic message centers for storefronts, schools, churches and car washes; monument signs with integrated LED displays; and indoor digital displays for menus, directories and promotions.
Permits handled for you: digital signs face extra city rules on brightness, animation and placement. We handle the permit process and program your display to stay within local code, so your sign stays on — and stays legal. Permit fees are an additional cost, quoted up front before we file.
Service after the sale: because Digicon is part of Smart Signs Denver, one call covers your channel letters, your monument sign and your LED display. No chasing a separate digital vendor when something needs attention.
Tell us where it's going and what you want it to say — we'll spec the right display and confirm the final quote at a free site survey.
Digicon doesn't run a separate website — and that's on purpose. Digicon's own web address points visitors straight to this page on SmartSignsDenver.com, so everything — digital signs, channel letters, ordering and service — lives in one place, under one roof.
Every photo in this gallery is an actual Smart Signs job, shot on site — channel letters going up with our bucket truck, lit storefronts after dark, and a Digicon digital display at a neighborhood church.

Smart Signs Denver & Digicon Inc. — one Denver sign shop, two specialties: classic fabricated signs and Digicon digital LED displays.
We've been building signs in Denver since 2012. The shop started with fabricated signs — channel letters, monuments, neon — the kind of work where a sign has to survive Colorado sun, hail and snow and still look sharp a decade later.
As digital displays became affordable for local businesses, we added Digicon, our digital sign division, so customers could get LED message centers from the same crew that builds the rest of their signage — one design language, one permit process, one phone number.
Today the fastest way to work with us is a call to the shop. Tell us what you're picturing, and we'll confirm everything at a free site survey before a single piece of material is cut. If your sign needs a city permit, those permit fees are an additional cost — quoted in writing up front.
And when something needs attention — a letter out, a flickering display, storm damage — our service crew handles repairs on signs we built and signs we didn't.
We run our own 30' bucket truck for installs, service calls and repairs, so that work stays on our own crew and our own schedule. Our install work isn't only for our own customers, either: we provide sign installation for other sign companies nationwide — sign companies from across the country have us install their signs in the Denver area.
Call or stop by — whatever's easiest.
Tell us what you're picturing and we'll spec it with you on the spot — then confirm the final quote at a free site survey. We're at the shop seven days a week.
We're tucked in the alley just west of Tennyson — look for the mural doors, that's us. Our shop is in the alley behind / just west of Tennyson Street, at 1517 Tennyson St, Denver, CO 80204.
Plain-English help from the shop floor — what signs cost, what Denver requires, and how local businesses get noticed. New posts twice a month.
LED message centers are the hardest-working signs we build. What they do, what they cost to run, and the questions to ask before you buy one.
Most Denver signs need a city permit before they can go up. What the city charges, what we handle for you, and why permit fees are always an additional cost on top of your sign.
The classic storefront letters, priced out honestly — what drives the cost up, what keeps it down, and how to get a straight quote.

If your sign could talk, what would it say today? A painted or plastic sign says the same thing every day of the year. A digital sign — an LED message center — says whatever your business needs it to say, and you can change it whenever you like.
A sign that changes its mind. Run the lunch special at noon. Put the weekend event up on Friday. Switch to holiday hours in December. A digital display does all of that from the same sign — no ladder, no changeable letters to swap, no waiting on a printer. When the weather turns or a sale starts, your message turns with it.
It sells after dark. Denver gets dark early in the winter, and a lit sign keeps working when a static one has gone invisible. A bright, full-color display catches the eye of every driver passing your door — including the ones who have driven past a hundred times and never really seen your business before.
One sign, every message. Restaurants fill tables with daily specials. Churches and schools post service times and events. Car washes advertise wash days, and retailers announce sales the morning they start. One of our favorite installs is the monument sign at St. Philip and St. James Episcopal Church: the church name in classic letters, with a full-color LED display underneath carrying a new message every week.
What to know before you buy. Three things decide whether a digital sign pays off. Size and placement — the display has to fit your spot and your street, which is why we spec it at a free site survey before quoting. City rules — digital signs face extra rules on brightness, animation and placement; we handle the permit process for you, and the city's permit fees are an additional cost, quoted up front. And service — Digicon displays are designed, installed and serviced by the same Denver crew that builds the rest of your signs, so one call covers everything.
Thinking about going digital? Call the shop, or start your order online — we'll come out, look at your spot, and give you a straight quote.
Tell us where it's going and what you want it to say — we'll spec the right display and confirm the final quote at a free site survey.
Online ordering is on its way. Until it opens, every order starts with a quick call to the shop — tell us what you're picturing, we'll spec it with you, and we'll confirm the final quote at a free site survey before a single piece of material is cut. If your sign needs a city permit, those permit fees are an additional cost — quoted in writing up front.
Open seven days a week, 7:00 AM – 10:00 PM at 1517 Tennyson St, Denver — we're tucked in the alley just west of Tennyson, so look for the mural doors. Anyone on the crew can get your order started.
Three things make the call quick — none of them have to be exact.
Channel letters, a digital LED display, neon, a monument sign — or just describe the look and we'll name it.
About how big, and where it's going — storefront, wall, pole, or out by the road.
Snap the wall or storefront where the sign will live. It helps us spec the job before the free site survey.
