Monument Signs

A monument sign is a low-profile, freestanding ground-mounted sign structure that sits close to the ground rather than being elevated on tall poles. It typically features a solid base made from masonry, fabricated metal, or aluminum and displays the name or identity of a business, office park, church, or commercial development. Monument signs are commonly required by local zoning ordinances in certain overlay districts.

Monument signs have a broad, low-to-the-ground appearance with a substantial base that often mimics the architectural style of the building or development they identify. They can feature illuminated or non-lighted cabinet faces, individual lettering, and decorative elements. Fabricated from aluminum or metal, they present a polished, professional look suited to office parks, churches, and commercial properties.

The primary difference is height and structure. Monument signs are low-profile and ground-mounted, offering a subtle, architecturally integrated appearance preferred by office parks and churches. Pylon signs are tall structures elevated on exposed poles or columns, maximizing visibility from a distance along highways and busy roadways. Both types are available from Seiz Sign Company, with structural supports customizable for each application.
