David G. Kinney

Sign Systems
Principal.

CA-C45-1079461  ·  Los Angeles, CA

David Kinney has spent more than two decades at the intersection of signage, architecture, and environment — working with designers, developers, and enterprise clients who understand that signage conceived as part of a space performs differently than signage applied to it.

His background is in business analysis — systems thinking, process structure, and outcome-based execution. That discipline shapes everything about how Vantage Sign Systems approaches a project: define the system before designing the signs, align on the concept before issuing a number, and protect the design intent all the way through installation.

Based in Marina del Rey, California. Licensed C-45 sign contractor.
Working across Los Angeles and the broader West Coast market.

How We Work

A process built
to protect
your outcome.

Every phase of our engagement exists to prevent a specific, predictable problem. None of it is arbitrary. All of it is in your interest.

Engagement Qualification
We review scope and alignment before any work begins. Not every project qualifies — and we communicate that directly.
Retained Engagement
All work begins with a retained engagement, credited in full toward the project. This is where the system is defined before anything is designed or priced.
Concept & Alignment
A design concept presented for review. Refined until it is exactly right. No estimate until alignment is complete.
Formal Estimate
Issued only after concept alignment. The number is anchored to a fully understood outcome — not an abstraction.
Fabrication & Installation
Managed through completion. Proof approval before production. Site survey before installation. Professional sign-off at close.
Are We a Fit?

The right conversation
starts before the quote.

We work on a retained basis only. We don't respond to RFPs and we don't compete on price. If your project deserves better than a commodity answer — let's talk.
