We recently worked with Summit Health in Westfield, NJ, on new building signage. Our team then discussed building the client’s brand with monument signs. Examples included the lightbox cabinet monument signs that are at the entrances to the parking lot. They are critical for catching the attention of passersby and those looking for the Summit Health facility. Let’s take a closer look at monument signs in North Jersey.

What is Considered a Monument Sign?
The typical monument sign is a freestanding product, which means that it is not mounted to a building. Secondly, these signage solutions are typically lower to the ground; it is not unusual for them to be at the eye height of the customer. Besides that, there are few rules. Monuments can consist of post and panel signs, pre-fabricated signage that mimics the use of bricks and mortar, and the actual brick-and-mortar product. Typical material selections include acrylic, masonry, wood, and outdoor-rated sign foam.
What are the Benefits of Monument Signs?
Monument signs in North Jersey make your business stand out among competing businesses. They catch the customer’s attention and make your location highly visible, even if the business itself is recessed from the street. Additionally, well-designed monument signs boost your company’s professional appearance.
Building Your Brand With Monument Signs: Examples
Our team has worked with various companies on monument design, production, and installation. An excellent example is Summit Health, a client for whom we have done a lot of signage in a variety of locations. Interestingly, this client adapts its monument signs’ designs to the architectural details of the facility they are using. As a result, some of the signs are lightbox cabinets, which are low to the ground. Others consist of post and panel signs at the entrances to parking lots.
Centennial Village needed condominium monument signs. In addition to being highly visible and aesthetically pleasing, these signs had to represent the neighborhood’s character. Our team added decorative details for these products, such as a custom-shaped panel, carved letters and borders, and elegant newels. We also worked with the contrasting colors of black and white to boost the venue’s curb appeal.
Another element to consider is the lettering. We can print it on vinyl and install it as an overlay to the board, carve the details out of the panel, or introduce three-dimensional lettering made of metal or acrylic.
Working With What You Already Have: Rebranding Existing Monument Signs
Clients frequently move their companies into venues with monument signs. Of course, this sign is not brand-centric for their needs. Our team can assist you with rebranding existing monuments with changed sign faces and other details. We design the face to reflect your company’s details and paint the structure with tones from your corporate color palette. Doing so is a budget-friendly way of growing your brand at the new location.
