Custom Monument Sign for Sign Company — 3D Anniversary Feature with Integrated Branding Elements

Project Type: Custom Monument Sign / Dimensional Feature Sign

Location: Sarasota, FL

Client: Sign Company (Reseller)

Industry: Sign Company / Commercial Signage

Product: Single-Sided Monument Sign with Dimensional Elements

Materials: EPS Core with Polyurea Hard Coat

Timeline: ~10 business days

Result: Delivered a complex dimensional sign combining lettering, logo integration, and large-scale “100 Years” elements within a tight production timeline.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

A sign company required a custom monument sign to celebrate a “100 Years” milestone for Sarasota Yacht Club.

The project was not a standard flat sign. It required:

• Large-scale dimensional elements (“100”)
• Integrated logo within the structure
• Clean typography and alignment
• A composition that works both as signage and as a visual feature

Royal Foam produced a fully assembled sign that combined branding, dimensional depth, and structural clarity, allowing the sign company to deliver a high-impact piece to their client.

THE CHALLENGE

Context

• Anniversary sign with branding importance
• High visibility application
• Fabricated through a reseller

Constraints

• Tight deadline (target: early October delivery)
• Complex multi-layer design
• Need for clean alignment across multiple elements

Risks

• Misalignment between dimensional components
• Structural instability of large freestanding elements
• Visual imbalance between text and “100” feature
• Delays due to complexity
• Inconsistent finish across multiple surfaces

THE SOLUTION (ENGINEERING APPROACH)

5.1 Material System

• EPS core used for all primary structures
• Polyurea hard coat for durability
• Fine sand stucco finish for consistent surface texture
• Painted finish per client specifications

5.2 Structural Approach

• Integrated base supporting all dimensional elements
• Reinforced attachment points for “100” numerals
• Balanced weight distribution across the structure
• PVC sleeves included for installation alignment

5.3 Fabrication

• Precision shaping of large numerals and lettering
• Assembly of multiple components into one cohesive unit
• Logo integrated into the “100” structure
• Controlled finishing to ensure consistency
•  

5.4 Customization

Based on drawings

• Overall length: ~119”
• Height: ~70”
• Large “100” dimensional feature
• Integrated “Years Of” panel
• Raised lettering: “Sarasota Yacht Club”
• Additional text: coordinates and establishment date

The final composition combines multiple layers into a single readable and balanced structure.

ARCHITECTURE DETAILS

From engineering drawings

• Base structure supporting all components
• Large freestanding numerals (“100”) anchored into base
• Layered logo integrated into central element
• Raised lettering applied to front face
• Installation openings aligned for mounting

Result: A stable dimensional structure that maintains alignment and readability from multiple viewing angles.
