Greensboro, NC – Monument Sign Options for Your Business

MONUMENT SIGN OPTIONS FOR YOUR BUSINESS

Monument signs come in many different shapes and sizes depending on business needs and budget.  This article will review some of the more common monument sign styles, how they are used and the types of materials used.  Monument signs serve three very important functions:

1. They are address markers to help visitors find you.
2. They are 24/7 billboard advertisements for your business, telling all who pass by who you are, where you are and what you do.
3. They represent your brand.

HERE’S A LOOK AT SOME OF THE MOST COMMON TYPES OF MONUMENT SIGNS:

POST & PANEL MONUMENTS

The most common monument sign type is the post & panel sign.  As the name suggests, these signs utilize two or three posts to hold a sign panel displaying your message, which is typically your business name, logo, slogan and address number.  Post & panel signs can be designed to look ornate or modern – and anywhere in between.

Post & panel signs are typically made from PVC, aluminum or wood.  While wood signs often look the most decorative initially, they deteriorate faster than their non-wood counterparts.

Post & panel signs cannot be internally lit but ground lighting can easily be utilized if desired.

ARCHITECTURAL MONUMENTS

Architectural monument signs typically utilize mixed materials to create a custom look that expresses your company’s brand message and values.  Some of the more common types would be a stone or brick surround with some type of custom sign insert or custom fabricated aluminum with cut metal or vinyl graphics.  The options are as wide as your imagination can go.

LED displays can be integrated into architectural monument signs and they can be lit internally or externally as desired.

 

LIGHTWEIGHT/DURABLE FOAM-CORE MONUMENTS

Relatively new to the monument sign market and low cost, light weight foam signs.  As a substitute for real (and costly) architectural materials such as stone, wood, concrete, steel and stucco. Textured foam with a durable coating are formed to replicate those materials.  These signs look like the real thing witout the expense

LED displays can be integrated into lightweight/durable foam-core monument signs and they can be lit internally or externally as desired.

Your sign maker will consult you on which type of sign will work best for your business and your budget.  He/she will also assist you on optimal sizing, placement and permitting of your sign.
