Objective
Design, manufacture, and installation of single-sided monument signs for two schools.
The Town of Wallingford engaged BlinkSigns to design, manufacture, and install new school signage for two schools located on Hope Hill Road in Wallingford, CT. The goal was to create visually impactful, durable signage that would enhance the visibility and branding of these educational institutions while maintaining a high level of craftsmanship and sustainability. The project involved the removal of old signage and the installation of custom, non-illuminated monument signs.

Mark T. Sheehan High School Monument Sign
The sign features a 2" deep single-sided HDU panel painted in Pantone 7623 C TBV for the background, with the text and logo routed and painted in Burgundy Pantone 7623 C, Sunflower Yellow Pantone 3514 C, and White. It was mounted to the existing monument with custom steel brackets securely attached to the brick pillars. The sign measures 12'8" in width, 5'0" in height, with 4'0" lettering.
Detailed engineering was used to ensure proper removal and integration with custom steel brackets, which avoided reusing old brackets.
Custom color matching and panel size adjustments ensured the signs were visible and aligned with the schools' branding without overwhelming the environment.
Custom steel brackets were fabricated to ensure a secure and aesthetic mounting solution.
The new monument signs significantly increased the visibility and branding of both schools, making them more prominent on Hope Hill Road.
The updated design added a modern touch to the schools' appearance while respecting the historical significance of the buildings.
The high-density urethane (HDU) panels and durable steel construction ensure the signs will last for many years, withstanding environmental elements.
