Denver School Signs Welcome Open Door to Communication

When you approach any business what first speaks to you is the signage used to call your attention. That is truly the first impression you make to a colleague or visitor. The same is true for school signage. Whether you are looking at the front of the school, or the signs that you encounter inside of the school, you are making a statement as to your professionalism and opening a door to communication.

Keep Parents and Students Informed Using Your Watchfire LED Sign

Since school signs do more than just give a location or name, the thought put into that signage should include what and how you are trying to represent your school environment. There are a variety of sign styles available from the simplest to LED Message Centers. Which style you choose will be determined by its use and by the style of your school.

Pylon Signs - used by businesses to draw attention from a distance, these signs are used near highways and in busy business districts by some of the largest companies around the country.

Signd Cabinets - a great style for a school, college or university, or for a large business complex, these electric signs can be enhanced with acrylic "pop out" elements to help draw attention in a stylish yet professional way.

LED Signs - for a sports complex or other facility, this signage is another way to communicate to your community.

Your indoor and outdoor school signs should be able to direct visitors to the appropriate entrance, as well as communicate the current activities of the school. This could be done with one or multiple signs. Indoor signs may include directional, plaques and awards, health and safety, menu boards, or informational boards. These signs should represent the style of the architecture, as well as being appropriate for the use. 

With budget consideration, you will want to work with a company that understands the complexities of dealing with school boards and other decision makers. Often times this will mean a detailed plan to present to financial planners that includes the expectations and product detail. You will also include the ongoing maintenance costs of your signage.  You want to know what permits will be required and who will handle this side of installation.  Whether you are from a small community school, or from a college or university, the school signs you use will also have to meet city codes. The sign company should have this information readily available to make sure that your facility does not exceed these requirements and limitations.
