How to Get Attention With a Monument Sign

Monument Signs - Connecting Signs

A monument sign is one of the best types of signs intended to complement the existing exterior architecture of a building or property. If you’re making a plan for a monument sign, you might be wondering how you can bring attention to the sign to draw in visitors. Depending on your local sign ordinances there might be some limits to how big or bright your monument sign can be, so make sure you work with local governments to ensure you are within certain restrictions. The following list goes over some of the attributes of monument signs that help them to stand out.

Electronic Message Centers (EMCs) to Inform

Electronic message centers (also called EMCs) are components of an exterior sign that allows for words, symbols, or even images to be displayed on the sign. An EMC can provide many ways to connect to your audience. Displaying local weather information or a fun message for a holiday are great ways to capture the interest of passing traffic. Older message centers that utilize fluorescent bulbs are now being converted to LEDs because they use less energy and last much longer. Many businesses are converting to LEDs because those benefits translate into major cost savings.

Illuminated Channel Letters to Stand Out 24/7

Illuminated channel letters ensure that the monument sign will be seen in daylight as well as at night. Channel letters have a minimum height of about 8”. They need to be that large for the interior electrical components that need space in order to function properly. Channel letters are best suited for standard fonts and typefaces, like sans-serif fonts. Although that point might deter you from considering illuminated channel letters, sans-serif fonts are actually much easier to read from a distance.

Faux Wood & Stone to Compliment Existing Structures and Save Costs

Traditionally, custom monument signs have been constructed from leftover materials from the main building construction or landscaping features. Leftover stone or brick from the building construction does look nice, but it’s heavy and hard to work with which results in a very expensive monument sign. As an alternative to this issue, faux finishes have become very popular because they can be fabricated to match existing finishes but are much less expensive.
