\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

YESCO recently completed a custom monument sign installation in Helena, Montana<\/strong>, giving the property a modern identification sign with both architectural character and digital messaging capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new single-face monument sign features routed push-through acrylic letters with internal LED illumination<\/strong>, creating dimensional, highly visible identification during the day and after dark. A Watchfire 10mm electronic message center (EMC)<\/strong> was also incorporated into the design, allowing the organization to easily display changing messages and information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help the new sign complement the surrounding property, brick columns were constructed to coordinate with the architecture of the existing building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Spotlight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Project Location:<\/strong> Helena, Montana
Sign Type:<\/strong> Custom Monument Sign with Electronic Message Center
Primary Service:<\/strong> Sign Fabrication & Installation
Digital Display:<\/strong> Watchfire 10mm EMC
Illumination:<\/strong> Internal LED Lighting<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining Architectural Signage with Digital Technology<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Monument signs are designed to create a permanent, ground-level identification point at the entrance to a property. For this project, the sign combines traditional architectural elements with modern sign technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The routed push-through acrylic letters add dimension to the sign face while allowing the internal LEDs to illuminate the copy at night. Below, the electronic message center provides a completely different capability: content that can change as often as the organization needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That combination allows one sign to provide both consistent property identification and flexible digital communication<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designed to Complement the Property<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A successful monument sign should look like it belongs with the property around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this installation, the brick columns were designed to coordinate with the existing building, helping tie the new sign into the site’s overall architectural appearance rather than making it feel like a separate addition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Removing the Previous Pylon Sign<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The project also included removing and disposing of the property’s existing pylon sign, which was located in a different area of the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replacing an older sign system with a custom monument sign provided an opportunity to update not only the property’s appearance, but also its capabilities through LED illumination and an integrated digital display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Featured Service: Monument Signs with Electronic Message Centers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Adding an EMC to a monument sign gives businesses and organizations the ability to communicate changing information while maintaining permanent property identification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Digital displays can be used for announcements, events, operating information, promotions, and other timely messaging without physically replacing the sign face each time information changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
