Monument Signs

Monument signs are substantial, freestanding signs that are installed at ground level, often used as a landmark for businesses, neighborhoods and master-planned communities, apartment communities, corporate campuses, shopping centers, and public facilities.

These signs are built to be eye-catching and are typically positioned at the entrance of a location to make a strong visual impact.

Characteristics of Monument Signs:

Durability: Monument signs are constructed to withstand adverse weather conditions and are built from durable materials such as stone, brick, concrete, metal, or stucco. They are designed to last for many years.

Visibility: These signs are often placed near the road at eye level, which makes them easily readable for passing motorists. The design typically includes the community logo and name and can include lighting for enhanced visibility, especially at night.  LED message centers can also be incorporated to provide maximum visibility and messaging.

Customization: Monument signs offer a high degree of customization in terms of size, shape, materials, and design. They can be tailored to match the architectural style of the building they represent or the branding of the business or community.

Lighting: Monument signs may include different lighting to enhance visibility.  This can include directional ground lighting, illuminated channel letters on the monument sign, LED lighting, or backlighting.

Applications of Monument Signs:

Corporate Signage: Large companies often use monument signs at the entrance of their corporate headquarters to establish a commanding presence.

Retail and Commercial Businesses: For businesses that are set back from the road, a monument sign can help attract attention and direct customers to their location.

Residential Communities: Gated communities, master-planned communities, apartment communities and condominiums frequently use monument signs to mark their entrances and convey a sense of prestige.

Educational Institutions and Facilities: Schools, universities, and hospitals use monument signs to provide clear identification and direction within their campuses.

Parks and Recreational Areas: Monument signs are used to provide visitors with information and directions at the entrances of parks and recreational areas.

Landscaping: Integrating landscaping elements around the monument sign can enhance its appearance and help it blend more naturally into the surrounding environment.
