EMPTY CUP LED-Lit Channel Letters in Winnipeg

June 11, 2026

Some storefront signs need extensive adaptation to work effectively in the built environment. Others arrive with a visual identity already perfectly suited for signage. That was the case with this LED-lit channel letter project for EMPTY CUP at 130, 15 Cooper's Town Rd in Winnipeg.

Electra Sign Ltd. fabricated and installed illuminated channel letters that carried the café’s bold branding directly into the storefront. The clean typography and recognizable circular logo translated naturally into dimensional signage, creating strong readability both during the day and after dark.

The finished installation complements the modern exterior of the space while giving the business a sharp nighttime presence along Cooper’s Town Rd. Bright white LED illumination keeps the sign highly visible without overwhelming the clean architectural aesthetic of the building.

Founded in Winnipeg in 2020, EMPTY CUP has grown from a small garage coffee roaster into a recognizable local café brand known for specialty coffee, nitro cold brew, and community-focused experiences. Their emphasis on creativity, connection, and quality made this project a great fit for a clean, minimal signage approach.

Projects like this highlight how effective branding and thoughtful fabrication work together to create signage that feels seamless with the business itself.

LED Lit Monument Sign for Courtyards of River Heights in Winnipeg

May 28, 2026

When businesses are set farther back from a busy roadway, visibility becomes a major part of the customer experience. A well designed monument sign can help direct traffic, improve tenant recognition, and elevate the overall appearance of a commercial property at the same time.

For Courtyards of River Heights at 1580 Taylor Ave. in Winnipeg, the goal was to create more than a standard tenant directory. This custom LED lit monument sign was designed to give the property a stronger visual presence during both daytime and nighttime hours while keeping the layout clean and easy to read.

The sign features illuminated tenant panels paired with a bold vertical architectural element that helps the structure stand out from passing traffic along Taylor Avenue. Warm integrated lighting adds visibility after dark while complementing the modern look of the development.

Projects like this highlight how commercial signage can become part of a property's identity rather than simply functioning as a list of tenant names. The result is a sign that improves wayfinding while contributing to the overall presentation of the site.

This monument sign was fabricated and installed by Electra Sign Ltd. in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Refined LED Push-Thru Signage for Executive Suites by Roseman

May 1, 2026

Not every building signage project calls for maximum scale or brightness. At 243 Queen St. in Winnipeg, this installation for Executive Suites by Roseman focused on clarity, restraint, and long-term durability, key considerations for residential-style commercial signage.

Executive Suites by Roseman offers extended stay accommodations in Winnipeg, providing fully furnished suites designed for guests staying 30 nights or longer. With full kitchens, separate living areas, and a quieter atmosphere than traditional hotels, the property blends hospitality with residential comfort. That positioning directly influenced the approach to the exterior signage design.

As a Winnipeg signage company, Electra Sign Ltd. designed and installed LED push-thru letter signage to complement the building rather than dominate it. This fabrication method allows light to pass through precisely cut letterforms, creating a clean, even illumination that enhances nighttime visibility without overwhelming the façade.

Push-thru signage is an effective solution for projects where a refined, high-end look is needed within a more compact footprint. For this location, the scale was intentionally kept modest, while the illuminated detailing adds a level of polish typically associated with larger sign systems. The result is energy-efficient illuminated signage that balances performance and aesthetics.

Installed above the main entrance, the sign provides clear identification for residents and visitors while maintaining consistency with the surrounding architecture. During the day, it presents a clean, minimal profile. At night, the LED illumination creates a subtle focal point that enhances visibility without excess brightness.

Projects like this highlight how thoughtful commercial signage in Manitoba can support both branding and user experience. For Executive Suites by Roseman, the finished product reflects the same values as the space itself, professional, comfortable, and designed for long-term use.
