Custom Rustic Metal Signs

Rustic metal signs combine weathered aesthetics with modern durability to create pieces that capture vintage character while providing long-term performance.

Elevate Rustic Spaces with Artisan Metalwork

Rustic Metal Signs Crafted with Character

Authentic rustic character comes from understanding how metals naturally age and weather. We replicate these processes through controlled oxidation and specialized finishing techniques that create genuine texture and color variation.

These signs work particularly well for businesses that want to communicate authenticity, craftsmanship, and connection to traditional values while maintaining professional appearance and modern functionality.

Finish Techniques

Controlled oxidation creates authentic rust patterns without ongoing corrosion. Distressed finishes add texture and character through mechanical processes. Patina treatments develop natural color variation that mimics aged metal.

Rustic Finish Meets Custom Design

Durability Considerations

Rustic appearance doesn’t compromise longevity. Our finishing processes create stable surfaces that resist further weathering while maintaining their intended character over time.

Design Applications

Rustic finishes work well for restaurants, breweries, outdoor recreation businesses, and retail establishments that want to communicate authenticity and craftsmanship values.

Custom Rustic Metal Sign FAQs

Rustic metal signs feature intentionally aged or weathered finishes, such as patina, rust effects, or distressed textures. They’re designed to give an authentic, vintage, or industrial look that adds warmth and personality to a space.

Common materials include steel, corten steel, copper, and brass. These metals can be treated to create natural finishes like oxidation, patina, or textured surfaces that lend a rustic aesthetic.

Yes! Rustic metal signs work well in both settings. For outdoor use, a protective clear coat can be added to preserve the finish and prevent further corrosion while maintaining the aged look.

I have to say that our sign stands out from our neighbors. It’s sleek, simple, and it has a world-class feel to it. Best of all, Luke and the team at ShieldCo delivers a phenomenal customer service experience. Definitely a value driven company!

Andrew

Excellent workmanship and customer service! These guys delivered a beautiful custom metal storefront sign for my small business. Durable and eye catching. I’ll definitely use them again for my next custom signage project.

Jared

ShieldCo did a wonderful job on our signage for both of our dental offices. We had a very large order with a total of 13 signs ranging from small to very large. They kept us in the loop throughout the fabrication process and did a GREAT job packing everything for shipping. We have gotten multiple compliments about out sign and we will be ordering some signs for interior use in near future. Highly recommend

Kasra Hedayat

Everything worked out great. The customer service was excellent and the shipping process was seamless. They took EXTRA care to make sure my sign was packaged properly and delivered on time. I love the final product. Would definitely recommend!

Michael Simpson

From design and feedback to iterations, production, and delivery—ShieldCo gave me an outstanding experience. Their custom signage was also incredibly easy to install. I highly recommend them for their quality, professionalism, and seamless service!

David Yu

We had a great experience working with Ian during our very specific search for a custom sign. As a remodeling company, our needs were a bit out of the ordinary, and we spent quite a bit of time collaborating with him to get it just right. Ian was patient, responsive, and willing to pivot when we presented an alternative plan for a sample. That flexibility resulted in a win-win for both parties – a deposit on a solid order and a new repeat customer.

If you’re looking for a sign company that takes the time to understand your vision and won’t stop until it’s exactly what you want, we highly recommend ShieldCo. Their commitment to customer satisfaction is exactly how all businesses should operate!

I search everywhere locally in GA and could not find anyone to take my design and turn it into my vision. Then I found ShiedCo online. I asked for it to be cut out of metal. They suggested adding the copper plate behind it. The quality is outstanding. I added my own lights, they would have done a better job I’m sure, but that was my call. Still, it turned out exactly what I wanted.
I gave it to my husband for Christmas for our basement bar. The bar is being built in June but here it is on the wall waiting for the bar to open.

Lori Konen

The City of Las Vegas is proud to add Shield Co to our list of “go to” vendors. From the beginning of the project to delivery the experience was top notch. The staff was very helpful at every step of the process. We were able to achieve what we were looking for and then some. ShieldCo’s signs will hang for years to come. The quality is well above expectations.

Michael Campbell

We are extremely happy with our sign! Right off the bat, Erin was a pleasure to work with. She took our logo and came up with a beautiful design. I appreciated that we were provided with a 3D rending along with the initial quote, which allowed me to easily present to my leadership team for fast approval. The sign is of great quality and looks absolutely beautiful. The owner, Luke, even reached out to me personally to check in on my experience and make sure I was happy with the final product.

Charissa Stober

I ordered a sign for our church and it came out so beautiful! They worked with the design to fit our budget and achieve our goal… and it was worth every penny! 100% would work with them again when we need another sign!

John Gagne

Exceptional experience. These guys are top notch from the communication, to design and to delivery. We love the new sign and would definitely recommend their service’s.
