Often, it's the subtle details that do the most to raise the perceived value of a business. Bronze plaques are the kind of detail that has that effect. The warm, classic look of bronze lends an air of prestige and reliability to any environment. Like stone and wood signage, bronze signs show you care about lasting quality.

It doesn't have to just be for your business either. They do say a man's home is his castle, so why not make it look like one with a bronze plaque at the entrance?

Because of their association with permanence, these plaques are typically used to commemorate people and events. There's a lot more you can do with them, though. Bronze plaques are perfect for any situation that deserves a lasting marker.

• Sponsor and donor recognition - Hang a permanent plaque to thank those who've made contributions to your organization. Offer your supporters the chance to purchase a plaque to raise money for new constructions.

• Identification - Important buildings and rooms can be marked with a bronze plaque to clearly identify the location while establishing its significance.

• Historical information - Install a plaque displaying your building's construction date, names of those involved in the construction and other historical points of interests, such as names of notable former residents.

Just like other signage, bronze signs can be customized to meet your needs. A variety of border styles, background textures and font types are available to ensure your sign fits the image you want to convey. It's also possible to include a logo or line art on a customized bronze plaque.

To create the impression of long-established tradition, your plaque can be artificially weathered to give it a patina or aged look. Patina application ranges from simply dulling the shine to actually altering the color.

However you plan to use it, bronze signage is an investment best entrusted to experienced designers. For superior-quality bronze plaques that add class to your place of business, get in touch with us at 12-Point SignWorks, LLC.
