In the world of outdoor signage, few options carry the weight—literally and figuratively—of a custom monument sign. These ground-level signs are not only impressive but also highly effective at establishing a long-term presence for your business, organization, or property.

If you’re a Kansas City business owner looking for a professional, permanent, and attention-grabbing sign, monument signs offer the ideal combination of durability and design.

What Are Monument Signs?

A monument sign is a freestanding structure installed at ground level, typically constructed from long-lasting materials like stone, brick, concrete, metal, or HDU (high-density urethane). These signs are built to match your brand’s identity and the surrounding architecture.

You’ve probably seen them at:

• Corporate campuses

• Medical offices

• Schools and universities

• Churches

• Retail plazas

• Apartment complexes

• Government buildings

Monument signs are designed to last—and to impress.

Why Kansas City Businesses Choose Monument Signs

✅ Premium Brand Visibility

A monument sign is one of the most powerful ways to elevate your brand’s visibility. Positioned near roadsides or entrances, they attract the attention of both pedestrians and drivers.

Bonus for Kansas City businesses: Whether you’re located in busy downtown areas, suburban neighborhoods like Overland Park, or near highways, monument signs help you get noticed in a competitive market.

✅ Durability in All Weather Conditions

Kansas City weather can be unpredictable—from summer heat to winter snow. Monument signs are made with durable materials that resist fading, rust, and wear, giving you a long-term signage solution.

At Forerunner Signs, we ensure every monument sign we build is weather-tested and built to endure.

✅ Custom Design to Match Your Property

A generic sign can look out of place—but a custom monument sign enhances your property’s aesthetic. We can design your sign to match your building’s architecture, brand colors, landscaping, and more.

Options include:

• Brick or stone bases

• Illuminated lettering

• Carved HDU panels

• Aluminum or acrylic accents

• LED message boards

The result? A stunning, cohesive look that adds prestige and curb appeal.

Monument Sign Features That Work

When designing monument signs in Kansas City, we focus on function, style, and lasting impact. Here are a few features to consider:

➤ Illumination

Internal or external lighting ensures your sign is visible 24/7. LED lighting is energy-efficient and long-lasting.

➤ Digital Display Integration

Want to promote changing messages, services, or announcements? Add a digital message board (EMC) to your monument sign.

➤ Multi-Tenant Panels

We use CNC routing, custom colors, and 3D letters to bring your brand to life with bold visuals.
