When deciding the best way of getting your name out there on a sign, there are many choices out there. Traditionally, pole signs, wall signs or pylon signs have worked, but have you ever considered the classy look of a monument sign? Sometimes called architectural signs, these freestanding business signs are big, bold, and perfect for making professional first impressions or a bold statement. They’re great for restaurant signs, hotels, conference centers, office parks, golf courses, housing developments, hospitals, medical offices, and just about any other industry under the sun!
So, let’s start with the question, what is a monument sign? Because these signs can come in all manner of custom sizes, shapes, and materials it can be difficult to apply one definition to such a broad category of signage. Basically monument signs are any kind of freestanding sign with a solid base (not pole mounted). They tend not to be much higher than 10 feet, averaging out about 5 feet tall. These architectural signs can be made of just about any material; foam, brick, aluminum, wood, and can incorporate lighted elements such as neon or a light box.
Now that you know what a monument sign is, ask yourself this question: is a monument sign right for your business?
The number one goal of a monument sign is visibility, so you’ll want to place it close to a road or near your parking area. Many monument signs have landscaping around them, so think about whether you’ll be adding flowers or shrubs to compliment the sign and add to your businesses look.
Because these outdoor signs are so versatile, the next step is to decide what kind of image you’d like to project. Do you want classical professionalism for your law office? A sturdy brick sign for your construction company? A sleek metal with a light box for your doctor’s office? Consult with a sign designer to discuss what kind of image will work best for your business.
