Monument Signs

Looking to identify your property entrance with Monument ID Signs?

Double sided freestanding monument ID entrance sign with marble inset face allows this business to be easily identifiable from the roadway.

Did you know there are many different types of Monument ID Signs that can be custom fabricated or built to spec to match your company’s theme or brand?

Monument ID signs leave no doubt whatsoever that this is your entrance or the entryway to your business.

Whether you’re a commercial center, manufacturing plant, service business, gated government facility, hotel, school, corporate campus, theme park, private development, or any other type of company property that needs to be identified — monument signs make a strong first impression.

Even if you have multiple entryways, each entrance can be made easily identifiable with monument signs.

And you’re not limited — you can choose standard or even custom-built themed monument ID signs.

However, there is one limitation: the climate where your sign will be installed. (Assuming you’re being advised by a sign expert.)

If you’re locating to a rainy or seasonally cold climate, you may want to go with an aluminum post-panel type of construction — because aluminum will not rust, nor will it expand and contract during seasonal temperature changes.

Whereas in Las Vegas, where it gets sizzling hot during summers, wooden entrance signs are avoided. However, sandblasted wood can be popular in the Midwest or out East, where it’s not as dry and hot.

To further explain — in Colorado, some ski resorts and lodges love using huge wooden log types of monument ID signs with hanging treated wood faces to create a picturesque theme that captures the look and feel of their property or resort.

Entryway signs like those found in Colorado are not suitable for Southern Nevada, and for good reason.

Even when you travel further East or West from Las Vegas, you’ll start noticing monument entrance signs featuring beautiful brickwork.

Ultimately, it’s your choice as to the appeal you’re looking for — but climate will dictate which materials are best avoided.

If you want brick, stone, aluminum, foam, or illuminated monument ID signs, those are perfect for Las Vegas — just avoid wood. Wood in this heat will last only 2–3 years, while you probably want a sign that lasts much longer.

Here are some types of Monument Sign ideas you can consider for use in Southern Nevada:

  • Masonry concrete base supporting a metal sign cabinet

  • Brick base and structure with raised flat-cut stud mounted letters

  • Cinder block entrance wall with marble, granite, or stone face veneer

  • Custom reverse-lit LED sign letters mounted to your entrance walls

  • Aluminum fabricated sign with individual routed tenant panels

  • Custom metal letters and a logo attached to an existing entrance wall(s)

  • Simple aluminum post panel signs

  • Illuminated double-sided sign cabinet with acrylic tenant panels

  • Custom high-end monument sign with waterfall elements

  • Simple monument ID property sign with flood lighting

  • Commercial center entrance monument directional signage

  • Full-blown custom monument ID entryway signs

A shared monument ID entryway sign is a great way to theme and brand your development, hotel resort, commercial center, shopping mall, residential community, time share, or industrial complex — and much more.

But, did you know Monument ID Signs must meet local sign codes?

That is correct. Depending on the jurisdiction where you plan to order and install your entryway ID sign or monument sign, you will need your sign professional to ensure the design and installation meet local sign codes first — unless they were already approved in your master plan or architectural building plan submissions.

Here in Southern Nevada, the City of Las Vegas, Henderson, Boulder City, and Clark County all have different sign codes.

These local sign codes will determine:

  • The height of the monument sign

  • How many tenant panels it may include

  • The set back of the sign from the entrance roadway

  • Whether you may illuminate your monument sign or not

  • And other permit-able criteria, such as landscaping requirements, if your entryway is rather large

Sometimes, large industrial, multi-family community, and commercial center developers will have a master sign plan approved when they submit their overall development plans to the local jurisdiction, city, or county in Southern Nevada.

If your monument signs are part of a master sign plan, then they are already approved when the development is approved.

It’s always wise to provide a master sign plan if you are building a large commercial center, industrial complex, resort, single or multi-family community development, or even a shopping center — this way, you get your monument signs approved ahead of time.

If you are looking for new monument ID signs to theme and brand your property or development, you always have the option to apply for a special-use variance if you need a little extra height or size that exceeds the current permit-able size limits.
