Choosing Better Signage

The average school campus will have many different types of indoor and outdoor signs, each of which plays a specific role for students, faculty, parents, and visitors. Perhaps no sign is more important than a digital sign, which typically appears in front of the building as a means of identifying it. A custom sign company can show you several types of digital signage if you're planning to replace the current sign in front of your school. You'll want to consider these important parts when you choose your sign.

Static Sections

While you might want to use a digital sign because of its large digital screen, you should look for a sign design that has large static sections. These are sections in which the information doesn't change, unlike the information on the screen. Frequently, you'll find digital signs with static areas above and below the digital section. You can use these areas for displaying relevant details about your school. On the top portion, you'll want the school's name in as large of a font as can fit. Your sign company can print this information in your school's colors. On the bottom static portion, you might have such information as your school's street address, phone number, website, and motto.

Digital Board

The digital board that is part of a digital sign is perhaps the most exciting part of the entire structure. This is the part that your school administrators can update as often as they wish. A school's digital signboard can contain all sorts of useful information, such as important upcoming dates for things such as student exams and school board meetings, congratulatory messages to award winners and championship sports teams, and more. You'll want to choose a sign that has a large digital board that can display images as well as text, as this will help to make the sign stand out.

Foundation

Don't overlook the importance of being discerning about the foundation of any custom digital sign you order for your school. This is the lowest part of the sign. While the information that is displayed on the static and digital sections is important, the right foundation can give the sign a high-quality look. A popular option is to choose a look that matches the school. For example, if your school is sided in red bricks, choosing red bricks for the foundation of the sign will be appropriate.
