If you want your business to make a huge impact, why not use a monument sign? These popular signs really draw the eye and create landmarks for people passing by. Designing your signage can be challenging and rewarding, but the most important point is to make sure they promote your business identity effectively. Here are 4 monument sign trends for 2021 that are sure to convey yours.

#1:  Adding LED Illumination

A monument sign is a ground sign that typically has a low profile. They come illuminated or non-illuminated. If you really want to catch everyone’s attention, then consider an illuminated approach. Dave’s Signs uses ground lighting for a spotlight effect. However, we can also add internal lighting to the sign.  Beautiful LED lighting is a popular choice because it is so long-lasting and reduces your carbon footprint. If you are going for a modern look with a touch of classic, then LED lighting is your best bet.

#2:  Enhancing Your Existing Architecture

Elements of masonry and wood, or foam that replicates these materials, give ample opportunity to match your monument sign to your building’s architecture. Color and style of the sign can also compliment the landscape theme. A professional sign company uses these elements to streamline the design of your building, creating a  consistent aesthetic and feel. This will give your business an opportunity to build brand recognition by creating a consistent look and feel throughout.

#3: Using Foam Fabrication Replicas

Since the cost of masonry is sometimes a deal-breaker for some companies, using foam in its place can save money. Surprisingly, these replicas mimic the appearance and benefits of the real thing when they are professionally done. Foam monument signs with veneer imitators of stone and brick look just as classy and are plenty durable, too.

#4. Highly Visible Curved Designs

Curved signs are another popular sign trend and ones with professional designs are quite impressive. They can be fabricated from wood, brick, stucco, high-density urethane or from concrete. The curved dimension to these signs additionally makes them visible from many directions.

No matter what industry you find yourself in, you can tell the story of your brand with a highly visible, illuminated business sign. This added visibility also amps up the interest, which in turn, drives an increase in sales and profits.  What follows is a list of the most popular types of illuminated business signs that give you an edge over the competition and sets you apart from others that use standard signs.

1. Exposed Neon Signs

Neon signs are an important piece of California history, and many businesses still use them. This colorful, high-impact type of signage rules at bars, boutiques and restaurants that want an iconic look. The neon light source is exposed versus being encased behind tinted acrylic panels.

2. LED Illuminated Signage Panels

Illuminated signage panels are a very effective way of gaining attention. For example,  in congested commercial environments, potential customers will notice LED illuminated signage panels before they do a traditional poster frame. LED technology is growing in popularity, as it is extremely energy-efficient and puts off very little heat.

3. Digital Signs

Whether they adorn the interior or exterior of a building, digital signs are highly dynamic and visible. Retailers, churches, office buildings, and live entertainment venues often display them.  These types of signs work extremely well in areas where a sign is near the road or close to a sidewalk where people passing by have a close viewing range.

4. Monochrome LED Signs

Single color (monochrome) LED signage is an excellent alternative for zoning ordinances that allow text-only LED or single color signage. The monochrome effect works extremely well for getting your message across, as long as you don’t pack the sign with too much text.  As mentioned previously, LED illumination is very efficient relative to every other lighting type.

5. Lightbox Signs

Also known as backlit signs, a lightbox gets its illumination by shining light through a translucent panel. The translucent panel can be customized with the name of your company, logo, address, phone number, etc. Lightbox signs are versatile, and their shapes can be molded to match your brand.

6. Pole Signs

Pole signs have double or single sides and use 1-2 poles for support. They are often taller than the buildings surrounding them, and they are visible from hundreds of feet away. Typically, they have an illuminated lightbox toward the top, but in this case of the Ganas Auto sign, the sign is a halo-lit channel letter sign using LED with an exposed neon outline. Dave’s Signs can customize pole signs to add multiple tenant panels or restore your existing sign.

7. Monument Signs

Monument signs welcome you and let you know you are in the right place. They are often made from materials such as brick or stone. They project a simple elegance, and, like the pole sign, we can customize them to include an LED panel, halo-lit channel letters, and in the case of the Star of CA sign, we added ground-mounted LED sign lights to enhance its overall pleasing aesthetic.

8. Halo-Lit Channel Letters

Illuminated letter signs are channel letter signs with internal lighting that gives signage a 3D effect. The iridescent glow of halo-lit channel lettering comes alive at night and draw new and existing customers to your business.

Unique Concepts for the Custom Graphic Sign Design

“I got to drive his truck into the workshop myself in order to work on it.  It was fun, I’ve never driven a Datsun before. I feel like I really captured what the client was looking for and delivered it in the final product!”

“[The] client was over-the-moon happy with how it turned out.  He was so stoked!  He said he couldn’t wait to show everyone in his car club.  Everyone in the shop was blown away by how it turned out too,” she added.

Turn to Dave’s Signs for Your Custom Graphic Sign Design

Giving your real estate development a professional look is paramount to making a lasting impact.  And having high quality, professional signs throughout your development provides that lasting impact. Likewise, the best signage projects a professional environment. To function optimally, these visuals need to be easily read, visually appealing and informative.

Professional Signage has Serious Marketing Mojo

Besides providing a brilliant first impression, professional signage solutions are majorly employed for marketing and advertisement. For instance, the value of on-site real estate development signage is the equivalent of running 24 full-page newspaper ads annually.

Comparatively, 10 percent of people surveyed discovered the home they bought from a real estate sign. In a similar vein, this type of effective signage is excellent for building brand awareness. While all this is true, commercial real estate development signs bring other benefits to the table.

Other Benefits of Real Estate Development Signs

It is important that real estate development signs build interest and help curious passersby find their way by showcasing the new property in the best light. Similarly, attractive themes and recognizable styles on signage create a comforting sense of belonging.

Therefore, the right signage next to construction and finished sites create highly visual, eye-catching designs that attract and compel potential homeowners to find out more about your housing development.
