Branded Signage & LED Solutions by Quarter Mile
At Quarter Mile, we create branded signage solutions designed to elevate spaces and increase brand visibility. Our recent project with Colmena Bar & Grille highlights how strategic signage, lighting, and custom design elements can transform a restaurant’s presence from the exterior to the interior.
This project focused on creating a cohesive, high-end look while reinforcing Colmena’s brand at every touchpoint.

For Colmena’s storefront, we designed and installed custom reverse-lit aluminum channel letters. This style of exterior signage creates a soft halo lighting effect, delivering a refined, upscale appearance.

Our team also worked on logo development and branded application, ensuring Colmena’s identity translated seamlessly across multiple signage formats.

One of the most distinctive elements of this project was the custom acrylic LED panels designed for Colmena’s outdoor patio bar. Featuring a custom branded pattern, these illuminated panels enhance the atmosphere while increasing brand visibility after dark.

Inside the restaurant, we installed a branded interior LED wall lite sign for the VIP area. This feature serves as a bold focal point, reinforcing the brand while creating an elevated and memorable guest experience.
Project takeaway: This project with Colmena Bar & Grille showcases how branded signage, reverse-lit channel letters, LED lighting, and custom design elements can work together to strengthen brand presence and visibility.
