Identify your location in an unmistakable and impressive manner with monument signs

Make a strong impression with monument signs from Signs By Tomorrow. Freestanding outdoor signs (i.e., detached from a building), they’re constructed on a solid-appearing base made of a permanent material such as brick, cement or concrete block.

They’re typically sited in the foreground of campuses, country clubs, hospitals, office centers, municipal buildings, parks, schools and more. Monument signs are popular as commercial building signs for stores, shopping centers and factories. Substantial and impressive, they’re also chosen as entrance signs for subdivisions as well as apartment and condominium complexes.

Monument signs are usually positioned close to the streets that pass in front of a location. They serve to identify the business, organization or tenants occupying the site. As motorists and pedestrians approach, the monument sign will likely be the first identification and branding they see. It assures people that they’re in the right location and often identifies the primary entranceway to it.  

Many monument signs are made perpendicular to the roadway and are two-sided, so that passersby from either direction can see the monument sign. Other types are sited parallel to the street or entrance drive and are one-sided with the back hidden. This reduces costs, of course, as only a single side of the sign needs to be designed and constructed.

Consider the design considerations for monument signs

The best monument signs match the architectural style of the building or campus. A red brick school, for example, will often have a red brick monument sign.

Alternately, monument signs can establish a unique identity for a country club, marina, subdivision or other application. A yacht club’s monument sign might pick up a nautical theme whereas one for a campground could feature a rustic, woodsy look.  

Monument signs can be created in almost any size, shape or style. This ensures that there will be a custom design to perfectly match your intended application and signage budget.

Questions & Answers

Are pylon signs and post-and-panel signs also monument signs?

Strictly speaking, the term "monument" refers to signs with a substantial brick, concrete or stone base laid on a concrete (i.e., masonry). They’re usually large (e.g., 6 to 15 feet wide) and low (e.g., 4 to 9 feet tall).

All that said, many in the industry include freestanding pylon signs and post-and-panel signs when speaking of monument signs. Pylon signs are typically much taller whereas post-and-panel signs sandwich a display panel between two posts. 

Mention any of these signage terms to your team at Signs By Tomorrow; we’ll help you find the right solution!
