What our valued clients have to say about Signs of the Times
"We are very happy with the high quality design. We have had families pull up next to our Smart Car at the lights and roll down their windows to comment on how great the car graphics look. Even the police have been honking their horns to get our attention and then giving us the thumbs up. The vehicle wrap was a top quality job - well done!" Dave Monahan - Smart Dolphins IT Solutions Inc.
"The artistic creativity and the quality of craftsmanship of the Signs of the Times team is outstanding. Their ability to deliver on time and on budget is also well worth mentioning. The passion that Dan puts into his work is readily apparent, and we often feel energized after exploring new graphics, signage, or marketing ideas with him. Overall, we value Signs of the Times as a high standard professional, yet friendly company with which it is a pleasure to do business with." Fabio Visintini and Sara Adis - Owners - Spirals Hair Salon
“Signs of the Times has been doing my sign work for almost 25 years now. I would highly recommend them to anyone who seriously wants to grow their business. Over the years, Signs of the Times has provided design services, signage, display and vehicle graphics that are a cut above the industry standards. I appreciate Signs of the Times’ attention to detail, their enthusiasm and innovative approach. The staff are always helpful and the showroom really helps me visualize where we can take each project.” Wayne McArthur – Vancouver Island Coach Lines
"Just emailing to thank you all for the excellent and highly creative work done by your company on the recent exhibit and display projects here at the museum. I'm particularly grateful to you for your ability to translate my design ideas - which sometime seem like dreams or impossibilities - into tangible reality." Clare Sharpe - CFB Esquimalt Naval & Military Museum
"Signs of the Times is our trusted source for all our signage. The approach they take is unique, they get an understanding of our brand and strategy for communicating that brand first; and then make recommendations that are best suited for our needs. We find they truly understand our message and understand the nature of our audience and the public. We find a lot of value in this process and it has produced some fantastic results for us. In 2010 we were one of the first tenants to move from the old Town and Country mall to the new Uptown Centre. We realized our signage was going to be a key factor in making sure that our clients could find us. Signs of the Times worked with us on every aspect of the new signs including sitting in on meetings with the Architects and Contractors. This enabled us to get some of the best signage in Uptown. We have had a lot of positive comments on our signs not just at Uptown but all of our locations. I would definitely recommend Signs of the Times to any business." - Nick Mason Director of Marketing - Megson Fitzpatrick Insurance
"From the moment I met Dan Hansen, President of Signs of the Times I felt that our company was in very capable hands. As a small business owner you need to be able to trust other companies in the areas of their expertise. This is how my husband Tom and I felt when we dealt with Dan and his staff. We needed to change our company name and establish a completely new look and feel for our company image. Dan and his staff designed a wonderful new logo, new signage for our building as well as a very visual van wrap. Dan took the time to truly learn about our company and understand our philosophy. He then worked with his design team to create a truly special company image which we are very proud of. We could not have chosen a more experienced group than the people at Signs of the Times. From conception to completion it was a pleasure dealing with Dan and Michele and their whole team. The logo which they designed was so impressive that our signs captured people’s attention right away, within days of our signs being installed in locations around Victoria we had customers calling to comment on their appearance. What was so remarkable was the fact that these signs did not have our company name on them- only our new logo! Signs of the Times has done all of our signage and we will continue to use their services for all of our future needs." - Laura Saxby Owner - The Edge Sharpening Co.
"Please extend our thanks to Dan and John and team. The road sign has been enthusiastically received. We appreciate all of your efforts in helping us meet our goals." Cheryl McBride - Royal Roads University
"Extremely thrilled with the sign you did for us – we’ve had several compliments from our patients and people in the community." -
" I was sent some images of the COTR Foyer and thought the dividers you designed were very, very nice. The directory also looked very handsome and, although it is much larger that we initially envisioned, the design and detailing capture the architectural spirit and the scale is sympathetic to the scale of the arches and the room. We will certainly recommend Sign of the Times in future" -
"The sign looks amazing. I literally had someone pull over and roll her window down to tell me so yesterday when I was taking pictures. I look forward to implementing some of the other ideas you had."
"Signs of the Times - one of the finest signage/exhibit/display firms you will ever encounter (seriously). The company experience and array of projects is beyond extensive." - Gary McCartie - Gary McCartie Productions Inc.
"Just want to say thanks for the outstanding work on the presentation boards. Totally professional and of the highest quality. The event was very successful - people didn't want to leave - and there were many comments on the visual display - seriously; they were very impressive and they were being appreciated. Many thanks." - June 2010
"The exhibition was a great success and we thank you for your invaluable contribution in working so tirelessly - and under such tight timelines - in helping to ensure that we were able to "put on a good show". We simply could not have done it without you."

These are just a few of the comments that we received from our parents and neighbors when we put up our new signs. I also wanted to thank you for the most enjoyable experience, fromt he very beginning I felt comfortable knowing that you knew exactly what we were looking for. As cost is always a concer, I appreciate how you showed us why we should be investing a little more money up front for better quality signs rather than go the least expensive route and have to pay more money in the long run by having to get our signs redone in a much shorter period of time. the time that you spent with me to truly understand what type of look and image I was wanting gave me a feeling that I was dealing with a real professional. Thank you for that! It is always gratifying when you finish a project and receive so many great comments!"
