Today we're going to be counting down our choices for the top 8 monument signs.
We've been in the custom sign industry in Ontario for over 10 years and we'd love to share our expertise with you.
In this post we'll show you 8 of the most amazing monument signs that will hopefully give you some great ideas for a mind-blowing monument sign for your own business. So let's get going.
A monument sign is great for directing your customers to your business
What Is a Monument Sign?
Monument signs are very similar to pylon signs except in one area - their height. A monument sign is usually no taller than about five feet tall. Its purpose is to display your message at eye level.
They are usually located away from your building, near the street and your entrance. They are often the first sign that your customers will see to direct them to your location so they are definitely worth the investment.
These more compact signs will blend in well will your landscaping, and if your area has zoning restrictions with regards to the height of your sign, a monument sign might be your best choice.

Here’s a cool idea for monument signs we found on Pinterest. The base is formed by a mountain of bricks which are then caged in with black iron bars.
Using the unexpected really makes this monument sign unique. If you are ever in Sunsuria CIty in Malaysia, you should check it out in person.
7. Zoo-licious Signage

Our next choice for top monument signs is this fun and earthy entrance sign for the Auckland Zoo.
This great custom signage doesn’t rely on multiple colours to make it stand out but instead is uses a brown monotone and cut out foliage and a single kiwi that pop out of the sign to give it depth. The strong base made of large stones that form an imposing wall give the impression of permanence.
6. Modern Monument

If modern is more your style, take a look at this lovely monument sign from Trademark. Its clean lines and simple layout make it especially attractive in an understated way. The brilliant orange pairs nicely with the slate grey and white font and structure.
5. Modern Meets Mother Nature

One of the best ways to make your monument signs truly stand out is to add a digital display to them like this great sign from AGC Signs.
Digital displays give you the capability to be constantly updating your signage without having to build a whole new sign. You can use a straightforward digital text format or you can also incorporate images and video into your digital display.
3. Wonderful Water Feature

The reason this next of our top eight monument signs makes the list is not so much the sign itself, but its locations. How appropriate and stunning to have a sign that advertises islands, floating on its own island shaded by palm trees!
It looks like it floated there and was shipwrecked on the rocks. It certainly makes an eye-catching impression for the entrance to this subdivision from NewHomesource.
