You already know that Spotlight Signs and Imaging Solutions designs, builds, and installs signage products for all types of businesses. Moreover, we routinely work with schools and school districts to outfit facilities with wayfinding, ADA, and building markers. However, did you know that our team also works with municipalities on signs for cities and towns?
Case Study: The Gilbert Cactus Yards
Our team was instrumental in revamping the signage presentation of the Cactus Yards in Gilbert. The city runs this popular destination. The overhaul of the venue required a variety of signage approaches. For example, we did a dimensional building sign that incorporates foam accents.
Large mesh banners feature multiple colors and function as welcoming markers for the city’s venue. Next, there is the Wrigley Field entrance sign that consists of ornamental posts and an aluminum backer panel. Another essential product we designed, fabricated, and installed is the site map as well as the rules board. Our technicians used acrylic that displays print on the back.
Case Study: Chandler Library
The next project took us to Chandler. The municipality was looking for ways to create a more child-focused environment that would welcome the youngest readers. Examples include murals and three-dimensional letters. Specialists used Gatorfoam to produce the bright, attractive words that are now part of the children’s reading area.
Our Staff Routinely Works with Cities, Counties, and State Agencies
Coming in on budget and on time is a given. Following detailed specs is a must. Most importantly, the signs have to embrace a municipality’s brand message to visitors and guests. We accomplish these goals with three steps.
- Material selection. When you need multiple signs fast, we recommend concrete. It is budget-friendly and allows for the manufacture of as many identical products as you desire. These are excellent for marking entrances to national parks and green spaces. Acrylic is a good option for interior or building signage. Of course, some municipalities are looking for a more decorative setup, where cast plaques could be ideal.
- Letter placement. Consider placing the letters with similar spacing as residents see on your letterhead or online presence. If this is not necessary, we suggest using venue-specific branding. Moreover, consider the use of acrylic letters for durability and great looks. Where needed, we can also install foam, which is suitable for the interior. That said, there is outdoor-rated foam for the applications that require exterior signs.
- Optional lighting. Channel letters and fabricated metal letters with built-in LEDs are excellent options. These are instrumental for wayfinding, and you will find them typically on the fronts of municipal buildings.
