Last year, Gofer Ice Cream hired Gotham Signs & Graphics to custom-create a PVC panel building sign for its new location. Our technicians designed a colorful product that contrasts perfectly with the light-colored wall and makes the storefront stand out. This time, the client asked us to put together a routed post and panel sign in New Canaan, CT.
Double-Sided Post and Panel Sign Boosts Brand Visibility among Drivers and Pedestrians
Taking the place of a traditional monument sign, this post and panel setup is the ideal extension of the company’s brand message. Each time we fabricate a routed sign, the design must be a model of precision. There is no room for error. Therefore, our technicians measured repeatedly to get the size, shape, and proportions precisely right.
Fabricating the routed sign.
Next, we input the data on our router. With the fabrication of the panel completed, we turned our attention to the design of the vinyl overlay. It replicates the color palette the client uses for the building sign. Because we already had the specs on file, we could guarantee a perfect match.
Printing vinyl graphics for both sides of the post and panel sign.
Applying the vinyl to both sides of the panel sign.
Look closely, and you will notice that we printed two faces for the sign. We did so to apply the vinyl overlay to both sides of the routed panel. Once again, precision was the key to creating an excellent sign. Finally, we hung the board with chains from the post construction. Now, customers cannot help but notice the brand-centric signage near the sidewalk and road.
Routed Signs? We Do Those!
What sets apart routed signs from other construction methods is the level of customization that is open to you.
- Material. Custom creation begins with the material selection. Most clients request Dibond or aluminum. However, we can also work with wood, acrylic, or high-density urethane.
- Shape. Take a page from the playbook of Gofer Ice Cream, and commission a sign that features a brand-centric shape. Some might take on the form of a product or other brand-related shapes. Others opt for the outline of the logo. You might also shape the sign in keeping with its function; for example, wayfinding signs might be in the shape of arrows.
- Facing. This client selected the addition of an imprinted vinyl overlay. Another choice is the installation of flat-cut metal or acrylic 3D letters. Some clients request carved or sandblasted facings.
What Could Your Company Do with a Routed Post and Panel Sign in New Canaan, CT?
Have you been looking for ways to introduce more consumers to your brand? Do you need a sign that stands out from the signage displayed by other stores and service providers all around you? With the customization of the shape that a router can deliver, this could be the ideal selection for your next monument sign panel.
Similarly, it could be an excellent choice for your building sign, A-frame panel, or secondary building board. Mounted perpendicular to the wall, the latter is a fantastic way of addressing customers walking past your building.
