The Town of Gilbert went ahead with replacing some park signs featuring its new logo and brand colors. You will remember that we had done work for the municipality previously when the Cactus Yards needed signage. This time, Circle G Park needed new park rules and regulation signs in Gilbert, AZ.
Sturdy Post and Panel Signs Guide Interactions at Local Parks
This particular park has two play structures, a lighted tennis court, and a walking trail. There are also a swing set and a water fountain. In the past, the sign had a simple setup that identified the name of the venue. The new sign offers more information.
It identifies the park’s name, provides its address, and focuses attention on the town’s name and logo. The sign spells out the park rules and prohibited activities, rules for the presence of pets, and permit requirements. There is also a website that gives more information when needed.
You will notice that this post and panel setup actually consists of separate boards. The top one has a cutout that creates an aesthetic display. The middle panel focuses attention on the details. The bottom panel provides the website address and shows it in a darker color. In this way, the panels combine for an attractive presentation. We repeated these steps for Veterans Park, too.
Municipal Signage Has to Be Functional, Durable, and Look Good
The sign a town uses reflects its value statements. The recent rebranding of Gilbert shows that the municipality is looking for a way to embrace a contemporary look and feel. This means that signage must follow suit not just in color play but also in design. A good example is the post and panel sign that looks markedly different from similar products Gilbert officials ordered before.
Our sign shop has other ways of ensuring that form and function combine when doing signs for government offices and towns.
- Reflective vinyl. Our clients have had excellent success with installing reflective vinyl on official vehicles, work trucks, and window graphics. They light up when oncoming headlights illuminate them after dark, which allows your message to shine.
- Channel letters. You put these signs on a timer, and they will light up. They are durable, look good, and make wayfinding a snap.
- LED reader boards. If you want residents or visitors to have up-to-the-minute information, we recommend remotely controlled LED reader boards. We can mount them to your building’s façade or integrate them into a monument sign.
- Anti-graffiti laminate. For the official hesitating to invest in new signs, remember that we can apply an anti-graffiti laminate. It lets you wipe off scribbles if they occur.
