What is Monument Signage?
Omega is our brand of monuments signage that is a combination of Digital LED screens, custom monument bases, and an optional third tier. They can be dual-layer signs with a backlit logo sign/custom ID cabinet, layered over a HD digital message board. Or you could layer two HD message boards. These signs can be made completely custom and can be any size, height, or width, with any combination of LED screens.
Most monument signage is oversized but smaller than a billboard. However, they can be small to midsized depending on your needs. They can even be larger than that! Our best example of this, is the NASA countdown clock we installed, for the Florida Space Center!
How Durable is my Monument Signage?
Your monument signage is built to last. The ID cabinet is made from Lexan. Lexan is an acrylic-plexiglass plastic that is 50 times stronger than average outdoor signs. It’s the same material used for bulletproof glass. Not only is your sign ultra-durable, but it is vandal and graffiti-proof.
How Long does Monument Signage last?
Not only is your sign durable, but it is built to last 11 years/100,000 hours. Some signs with proper care, can last 20+ years! In fact Digital Signs have the best return on investment than any other method of marketing medium! Check out our ROI chart here.
Annual inspections maximize the lifecycle of your sign, so hire a local LED tech to check the connectors, components, and hardware on an annual basis. They will also clean the interior every few years and perform as-needed repairs. Keeping your sign in top shape will increase its life expectancy.
Does my ID Cabinet and message board have to be the same size?
No! Many of our clients choose signs that are the same square or rectangular shape and the same width, but they don’t have to be the same size. Maybe a larger logo sign and smaller message board, or vice versa. Or your logo sign could be a horizontal rectangle and your message board could be a vertical rectangle. Our design team can even help you come up with your ideal design before we start the manufacturing process! Just reach out to us here.
How is Monument Signage mounted?
Your monument signage will be mounted on a decorative brick, aluminum, or steel base. The size of your sign plays a contributing factor to how it can be mounted.
Brick bases come in a variety of decorative formations. Standard squares, rectangles, or columns are the most popular choices. Oversized brick bases can be 18 feet off the ground and must be at least 76 feet wide. You can go smaller if your sign is small to midsized. The brick can match or contrast your building and you can add your address numbers to the base.
Aluminum pedestals and wide bases are sleek and stylish and can be either a few feet or several feet wide depending on size and mounting height. You can add text or your address number to your aluminum base.
Steel poles are required for signs mounted at 40, 48, 60, 72, 84 (or anywhere in between) feet off the ground. They aren’t as decorative, but they obstruct view less than brick and aluminum bases, and are a cheaper option. You can also work with our design team, to create a completely custom sign.
Be sure to check your lease and with local ordinances before you order any outdoor signage to see if any permits are required or guidelines are in place. Speak with one of our representatives about the legality regarding your signs positioning.
What color does Monument Signage come in?
Your ID cabinet can be designed with your precise logo colors in mind, or we can create a completely custom look. White is the most popular background color for logo signs, but you can choose from 80 pre-set colors to ensure your logo pops.
The frame and base can be painted in 80 different colors to match or contrast with your logo sign, but natural black, white, silver, blue, and gray are the most popular color choices.
Your LED message board comes in a standard black, similar to a flat screen TV, but has the benefit of being easily programmable, weather and vandal resistant, and will last much longer than the standard flat screen TV.
How far away will my Monument Signage be visible from?
Your Omega monument signage will be visible from at least 200 feet away. For increased visibility and clarity, choose from 6, 10, or 15-millimeter pitch. The smaller the pitch the clearer the messaging, images, and video. The size of your sign and the individual design also play a role in how easy it is to view from a distance. Our friends at NASA needed a countdown clock that could be visible from nearly a half a mile away! So we delivered.
How can I program my Monument Signage?
Your new monument signage comes standard with scheduling software that empowers you to change or update your signs from anywhere. This includes adding or removing messages, adjusting the rotation, setting how long to display each message, and scheduling when to post each ad. Preschedule a different message and ad rotation at different times of the day or different days of the week.
For example, your church can welcome your congregation at the beginning of each service. Your school can post schedule reminders for daily activities during drop off. Your restaurant can post different images and ads for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
If you are confused on how to engage people, do not worry! We will help you create your first few messages and teach you create future messages yourself. All you have to do is schedule our absolutely free training here.
Will I need to hire a digital signs designer?
Although the LED signs software is easy to use. We understand time constraints, and inaccessibility can hinder you from changing your message, especially if you wish to change it daily. If you already have a designer, check to see if they also provide digital display design. Keep in mind, digital display design is different than print design! The increased size and scale as well as the ability to post HD images and videos, motion graphics, and special effects are optimized with a digital designer. Though with our software, it is intuitive and easy to use, day one!
Can I place my Monument Signage in Extreme Hot or Cold?
Yes! We’ve designed signs for clients in every climate and condition in the US and Canada. Our signs are weatherproof, and temperature tested to operate in temperatures as low as -40 degrees Fahrenheit and as high as 160 degrees. This includes full function in rain, snow, ice, dry heat, and humidity.
How can my Digital Logo be Customized?
Your ID cabinet/logo sign is LED backlit. Choose from 8 different sign shapes: a standard rectangle or square, slope, rounded, polygon, peak, or roof, push through, channel lettering, and more. Your final decision is a background and logo color, which comes in any color you wish. We even have a full time design team on board to help you with your project. From the size and shape of your sign, down to the hex color.
