Requirements for an effective church sign
Church signs should be easy to read
There are many options for church signage such as the following:
Permanently installed plaques
They provide information about services, times of worship, etc. Though a costly investment, they are attractive and durable. Another permanent sign are signposts or poles installed in the ground.
The advantages of these signage options include being fairly inexpensive to install and maintain and easy to change when new information is needed.
Temporary signs
Temporary signs feature a variety of placement. For example, they are great for displaying special sales or events at the church to the public passing by on nearby roads. Temporary signage is also useful when in need of directional help from someone who might not know where the property lines are.
Freestanding banners
Freestanding signs work best in front of the church or building. These are useful for publicizing special events, announcements, etc., and they do not require attachment to a wall signpost.
Sidewalk signs
These allow communication with people who might be walking by on the sidewalks. Most sidewalk signs feature plastic or metal materials, and they come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and styles.
Corporate church signs
Permanent plaques can be customized to include logos and boldly printed text for logo/website URL. These options allow one to brand the sign (especially if this is a church sign at the main location) and provide visitors with information.
Portable signs or portable banners.
Application of these signs includes directing people in the right direction if they need help finding the church building. They also help when directing people to a service happening in one of the buildings.
Applicability of the signs comes when hosting some kind of special event outside the church building (such as a family festival).
Decals for windows.
If people in the community are looking into one of the buildings and want to know more about the church, these small decals and stickers can provide helpful information.
