SIGNS & MORE, INC. BLOG - Sign, Banner & Vehicle Graphics Facts & Information

Located at 5441 Highway 20, NE, the Cartersville Campus of the Georgia Highlands College was in need of signage. Its administration recognized that wayfinding for new students could be improved. Also, signs should create a more welcoming and inviting display that would make prospective students and parents, as well as any visitors, feel right at home on the property. When the school’s representatives contacted the professionals at Signs & More, they already had some ideas about how to present the college’s brand.

Signs and Graphics for College Campuses in Cartersville, GA

For an easy branding display that does double-duty as a welcoming signage product, we created a three-foot by 14-foot building sign that shows the name of the school and its seal. The product is a pan-face sign with a depth of one inch. It presents the letters with half-inch-thick blue acrylic, which creates a slight 3D effect. Mounted perfectly centered above the entryway, it is an attractive addition to the building’s façade.

To facilitate the wayfinding, we designed, manufactured and installed wall letters with a depth of 3/8 of an inch. They are made from acrylic. We installed them with studs that are not visible from the front. Perfectly centered mounting once again provides the eye with a harmonious display that now identifies the library and welcomes visitors to the school and its general information board. The 3D effect once against creates an attractive appearance. Another set of dimensional letters identifies the “College and Career Center.”

Advantages of a Concurrent Signage Treatment

There is little doubt that the addition of these signs is giving the look and feel of the campus a lift. In addition to being functional, these products fulfill other roles as well.

• A money-saving investment. Our graphic artists provided the school with acrylic letters that carry a lifetime guarantee. It ensures that this investment makes sense now and in the future.
• Cohesive signage presentation. There is an undeniable advantage to commissioning all your signs at the same time. The transformation of the campus was virtually instantaneous. When you operate a business and want to make a dramatic change in your overall look and atmosphere, making this type of modification all at once creates the splash you are looking for.
• Complementary displays. Putting together a building sign and then a collection of dimensional letter signs that play off the primary product’s look is instrumental in creating a consistent signage presentation. Although it is possible to add on at a later time, it is always advantageous to get the main signage put together all at once.
