Types of Signs
-
Primary building identification signage serves as the most visible expression of a brand or organization, creating a clear and immediate point of recognition for customers, visitors, and the surrounding community. These signs identify buildings, venues, and facilities through the use of names, logos, slogans, or a combination of elements—communicating brand identity, purpose, and presence at a glance. Whether applied to a retail storefront, corporate headquarters, civic building, or large-scale venue, primary building signage plays a critical role in shaping first impressions and reinforcing brand credibility.
The design, placement, and construction of building identification signage are carefully considered to align with architectural context, visibility requirements, and brand standards. Solutions may include storefront signage, façade-mounted dimensional letters, canopy-mounted signage, illuminated channel letters, or large-scale venue identification integrated directly into the building envelope. Each approach balances aesthetics with performance, ensuring signage is legible, durable, and appropriate for the environment in which it operates.
Primary building signage offers extensive versatility in form and execution, accommodating a wide range of architectural styles, budgets, and regulatory requirements. Materials such as metal, acrylic, glass, wood, and composite panels—combined with illumination options including LED and digital elements—allow signage to be tailored to both functional needs and design intent. Mounting methods may include direct façade attachment, canopy integration, projecting elements, or freestanding solutions where appropriate.
In environments where visibility from a distance is essential, such as shopping centers, fuel stations, mixed-use developments, and standalone facilities, larger-scale identification signage—including monument or pylon-style applications—may complement building-mounted signage to establish presence and guide visitors. Together, these solutions create a cohesive identification system that enhances visibility, supports wayfinding, and strengthens brand recognition across all touchpoints.

Signage & Branding
Installation
-
Pole and pylon signage provides high-visibility identification and messaging designed to be seen from a distance. These freestanding structures are typically elevated above grade and supported by one or more engineered poles, making them ideal for sites where long sightlines and early recognition are critical. Built with durable steel or aluminum structures, pole and pylon signs are engineered to perform in demanding environments while meeting structural, wind-load, and code requirements.
Commonly used at shopping centers, fuel stations, mixed-use developments, and standalone facilities, pole and pylon signage serves both as a primary identification element and a site landmark. Their scale and height make them especially effective along high-traffic roadways, where visibility and clarity are essential for guiding customers and visitors.
Pole and pylon signage offers flexibility in configuration, including single- or double-sided faces, illuminated elements, and digital or changeable messaging systems. Designed with local regulations and site conditions in mind, these signs can be tailored to support tenant identification, branding, and directional needs—providing a durable, long-term solution for organizations seeking to establish a strong and recognizable presence.
-
Monument signage serves as a ground-level identifier and arrival marker, providing a strong blend of functionality, durability, and architectural presence. More than a wayfinding element, monument signs establish a sense of place—reinforcing identity at entrances, campuses, and key site thresholds. Constructed from durable materials such as stone, brick, metal, and composite panels, monument signs are engineered to withstand environmental exposure while maintaining a refined, permanent appearance.
Commonly used to display building names, addresses, tenant identification, or entry points, monument signage plays a critical role in enhancing visibility and reinforcing brand or institutional identity. Thoughtful placement, proportion, and material selection allow these signs to integrate seamlessly with surrounding architecture and landscape, contributing to a cohesive and professional site experience across commercial, residential, and civic environments.
-
LED lighting has transformed how signage performs, offering significant advantages in efficiency, longevity, and design flexibility compared to traditional lighting technologies such as neon, fluorescent, or incandescent systems. At LPS, LED solutions are integrated across a wide range of signage types, including building identification, monument signage, pylon signage, and architectural elements, to enhance visibility, legibility, and overall impact.
Beyond efficiency, LED lighting provides exceptional architectural flexibility. Compact form factors and precise light control allow LEDs to be incorporated into complex shapes, layered constructions, halo-lit letters, edge-lit panels, and integrated accent features. This adaptability enables signage designs that are both visually refined and functionally effective, supporting brand expression while meeting performance and code requirements.
LED systems also support long-term reliability and reduced maintenance, delivering consistent illumination with lower energy consumption and extended service life. Whether used to highlight building identification, improve nighttime wayfinding, or create subtle architectural emphasis, LED lighting enhances both the appearance and performance of signage across commercial, civic, and institutional environments.
