We've become
signage experts due to years of solving the unique challenges our
customers confront. This is much more than making a sign colorful
and long lived. The real challenges range from sign visibility and
vandal proofing to appearing before the local Zoning Board of
Appeals (ZBA) to plead a variance.
In one case an optometrist needed a
sign for his business, but because of the local sign ordinance the
text would be too small for his customers to read. People in need
of glasses require bigger letters and signage they can read from
the road while driving at 40 mph, otherwise they become a traffic
hazard and a liability to the city. We were able to convince the
local ZBA to give our customer a variance for a sign his customers
could read, and still fit in with surrounding appearances.
How do you vandal-proof a sign yet
build it so that it's not a liability? For a local village
government we constructed a welcome sign that can take the abuse
dished out by teenagers and yet it's self-destructible, should it
be run over by an errant driver.
Many communities have very strict
temporary sign ordinances, but we've found by using appropriate
building materials combined with outstanding design, photos or
architectural renderings, we are able to meet most requirements
and give you signage that works. |
