Bronze building identification and dedication plaque

Bronze plaques are useful for numerous applications

At one time or another, you've probably approached a building with a bronze plaque that displayed the year in which the building was constructed. In some cases, these signs also state the building's name, and its original founders. Today, many businesses are continuing this tradition with gorgeous, embossed placards which can be mounted on their facilities. On large school or hospital campuses, it is common for each building to be identified with prominent bronze signs. Plaques may also be used to dedicate a memorial bench, tree, or structure in remembrance of late business founders, financial donors, or other significant people. Bronze signs may also be utilized indoors, as a means of marking the offices of executives and other VIPs.

Bronze plaques are made with skill and precision 

Because your metal plaques are intended to appear professional, each piece must be precisely designed for visual appeal and accuracy. You may work with your sign company to create a plaque that utilizes graphics, logos, and font types of your selection. Before the final casting and during the design phase, you may choose among several metal plaque finishing options including border type, coloring, finishes, etc. Bronze plaques can be designed with a more modern look, or can be crafted to appear aged for historic sites. Be sure to proof your plaque design carefully, and discuss weatherproofing options to ensure that it will be long-lasting.
