Signature Signs overhauled it into a modern monument sign with push-through illuminated panels, LED cabinet illumination around the edges and weather-resistant materials, integrating the lighting into the existing structure. ## What We Built - Monument sign makeover with clean lines and updated fonts - Push-through illuminated panels - LED cabinet illumination around the edges - New lighting system integrated into the existing sign structure - Weather-resistant materials ## Project Note The original sign had faded colors, cracked lettering, weathered materials and no lighting, and the new illumination had to be integrated within the existing structure. ## Project Story ### Vogue Plaza’s Monument Sign: A Modern Makeover in Thousand Oaks In the competitive world of retail and service businesses, first impressions often start with signage. Vogue Plaza in Thousand Oaks, a bustling center for local businesses, recognized the need for an update. Their aging monument sign had become a relic of the past, blending into the background rather than standing out as a beacon for customers. Signature Signs was tasked with revitalizing this crucial element, transforming it into a modern, visually appealing, and functional design that would enhance both visibility and brand identity. ### The Challenge: Assessing the Existing Sign Before embarking on the transformation, it was essential to assess the condition of the existing monument sign. Time had taken its toll: faded colors, cracked lettering, and the absence of modern illumination left the sign looking dull and outdated. Structurally, the materials showed signs of weathering, which compromised the sign's visibility and impact. Vogue Plaza needed a sign that would reflect a vibrant, contemporary image and attract attention from both pedestrians and drivers. **Visual Elements of the “Before” Sign:** - Faded colors and outdated design. - Lack of illumination, making the sign almost invisible at night. - Worn materials and structural concerns due to weathering. ### The Solution: Designing and Installing the New Sign Recognizing the need for a complete overhaul, the design team at Signature Signs collaborated closely with the client to create a sign that not only met modern aesthetic standards but also addressed practical concerns like durability and visibility. #### Design Process The design process focused on achieving a sleek, contemporary look while ensuring the sign would be highly visible both during the day and at night. Push-through illuminated panels were selected to enhance visibility, and LED cabinet illumination added a touch of modern elegance. **Key Design Considerations:** - **Modern Aesthetics:** Clean lines and updated fonts for a polished look. - **Improved Visibility:** Use of illuminated panels for enhanced night-time visibility. - **Durability:** Selection of weather-resistant materials to withstand the elements. #### Features of the New Sign The new sign at Vogue Plaza features push-through illuminated panels, which significantly improve nighttime visibility. The LED cabinet illumination around the edges provides a sleek, modern glow, enhancing the sign’s appeal. The materials chosen for the sign are both durable and weather-resistant, ensuring that it remains a vibrant landmark for years to come. **Installation Process:** The installation of the new sign was carried out with precision, overcoming challenges such as integrating the lighting system within the existing structure. The collaborative effort between the design team and Vogue Plaza ensured that the final product exceeded expectations. ### Business and Property Value Benefits of Replacing a Worn Monument Sign Updating Vogue Plaza’s monument sign had several immediate and long-term benefits: - **Enhanced Curb Appeal:** The new sign’s modern design greatly improves the overall appearance of the plaza, making it more attractive to potential tenants and customers. - **Increased Visibility:** The illuminated design ensures that the sign is easily noticeable, even at night, drawing in more foot traffic and increasing business engagement. - **Improved Brand Perception:** A fresh, contemporary sign aligns with a high-quality brand image, reflecting positively on all the businesses within the plaza. - **Higher Property Value:** The updated sign contributes to an increase in property value by making the location more desirable for tenants, potentially leading to higher rental rates. - **Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings:** The LED lighting not only enhances the sign’s appearance but also reduces energy consumption, offering significant long-term savings. Below, you can see a side-by-side comparison of the “before” and “after” images, highlighting the sign’s evolution from a dull, outdated structure to a vibrant, modern landmark.
