Maximize Impact with Effective Commercial Signage: A Case Study in 2 Dove Valley Monuments

In late 2022, Ad Light Group was entrusted with a unique opportunity – the creation of two commercial signage monuments for the Dove Valley state-of-the-art business park. This project, orchestrated by the talented team at Opus Group, demanded more than just ordinary signs. It called for a solution that would not only serve as a property-wide entry landmark but also as a multi-tenant identifier for the companies that would inhabit the space.

Dove Valley, situated in the bustling Centennial business district, is a thriving hub for both manufacturing facilities and administrative headquarters. Its strategic location, with proximity to I-25 and the Centennial airport, makes it the ideal choice for companies seeking efficiency in production while avoiding the elevated downtown lease rates often associated with Denver.

In this article, we’ll delve into the Dove Valley project and explore how commercial signage can be a powerful tool for property managers and businesses to maximize brand recognition, appeal to precision-focused tenants, and accommodate future changes.

Commercial Signage: Efficiency Meets Aesthetics

Monument showcasing precision commercial signage.

A striking monument that defines excellence in commercial signage.

One of the critical aspects of a commercial signage project is the monument’s design. It’s not merely a sign but an opportunity to marry aesthetics with functionality. In the Dove Valley project, we witnessed how thoughtful monument design can cater to precision-minded tenants while staying within budget constraints.

Commercial parks, like Dove Valley, often attract businesses with exacting standards. These businesses require facilities that are not only efficient but also reflect their commitment to quality. A well-designed monument can convey this message from the moment visitors arrive.

Efficiency in design means optimizing space, materials, and illumination. LED technology, for instance, offers a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to ensure your monument stands out, even at night. It’s essential to work closely with experienced designers and sign manufacturers who understand the balance between aesthetics and practicality.

Tenant Updateability: Designing for the Future

In the dynamic world of commercial real estate, change is constant. Tenants come and go, and your signage should be adaptable to these shifts. The Dove Valley project exemplifies how forward-thinking commercial signage can accommodate future updates without major overhauls.

Consider modular signage systems that allow for easy panel replacements or additions. This flexibility ensures that when a new tenant moves in, their logo and branding can be seamlessly integrated into the existing monument. Such adaptability not only saves time and money but also presents an attractive feature to prospective tenants.

Commercial Signage Placement: Maximizing Brand Recognition and Functionality

Placement of your commercial monument is paramount. It should not only serve as a brand beacon but also assist with wayfinding and logistics. In Dove Valley, careful consideration was given to the monument’s location to ensure it had the maximum impact.

Strategic placement near entry points and major thoroughfares within the park ensures that it catches the eye of all who enter. Additionally, when designed with a wayfinding function in mind, the monument aids incoming shipments and guides visitors to their destinations efficiently.

Project ID Naming: Building Community and Professionalism

Choosing a name for your commercial signage project is more than just a formality; it’s an opportunity to build a sense of community and professionalism. The Dove Valley project’s name not only identified it but also resonated with the ethos of the area.

When selecting a project name, consider factors like the local community’s identity and the professional nature of commercial signage. A well-chosen name can become synonymous with the area, creating a unique identity and fostering a sense of pride among tenants and visitors alike.

Conclusion

Commercial signage is far more than a mere marker; it’s a powerful tool for property managers and businesses alike. The Dove Valley pro

ject showcases how effective monument design, adaptability, strategic placement, and thoughtful naming can maximize brand recognition, efficiency, and community spirit. As you embark on your commercial signage project, remember that it’s not just a sign—it’s an investment in your brand’s future.

Evertrees Lakewood: Artistry and Innovation

Behold the breathtaking Evertrees Lakewood, a magnificent blend of nature-inspired artistry and innovative craftsmanship, aglow in the warm hues of a mesmerizing sunset.

Experience the Splendor of Evertrees Lakewood

In 2022, a remarkable transformation took place on the bustling Historic Colfax Ave in Lakewood, thanks to the visionary collaboration between the City of Lakewood and the renowned Denver artist, Nestor Fedak. The result was a stunning public landmark that is set to capture hearts and imaginations for generations to come – the mesmerizing ‘Evertrees Lakewood’. Leading the charge in making it a reality was Ad Light Group, the dynamic force behind the construction and installation of this breathtaking masterpiece.

Ad Light Group’s Artistry Shines on Historic Colfax Ave

Ad Light Group, a prominent name in the realm of artistic installations, was honored with the responsibility of bringing Nestor Fedak’s artistic vision to life. The Evertrees Lakewood project was not just about erecting structures; it was a celebration of nature’s beauty intertwined with human innovation. Ad Light Group joined forces with the artist and the local community to meticulously craft three custom-fabricated trees that would not only grace the city’s landscape but also evoke a sense of wonder and unity.

Crafting Beauty from Steel: The Patina Steel Trunks

At the core of this artistic endeavor were the meticulously designed trees. The trunks of the Evertrees were skillfully crafted using patina steel, a material carefully chosen to emulate the rugged elegance of evergreen bark. The Ad Light team’s expertise came to the fore as they employed their proprietary patina process, which imbued the steel with a corten finish. This finish not only replicated the natural texture of bark but also infused the trunks with a rustic charm that harmoniously blended with the surroundings.

Innovation didn’t stop there. Ad Light Group’s commitment to longevity and aesthetics led them to apply a protective layer of clear finish to the patina steel. This step not only safeguarded the surface from oxidation runoff but also ensured that the trees maintained their captivating appearance for years to come. The foresight displayed by Ad Light Group in preserving the artwork’s integrity showcases our dedication to both artistic expression and community enrichment.

Glistening Leaves: A High-Gloss Marvel

The pièce de résistance of the Evertrees Lakewood project lies in its foliage – the emerald-hued leaves that crown the artistic steel trunks. These leaves were a triumph of artistry and technique, the result of a specialized process that transformed rolled aluminum into an enchanting spectacle. Through a meticulously layered approach, Ad Light Group painted the aluminum leaves with shades of green, employing speckle layers to achieve a captivating high-gloss finish. This intricate process achieved a remarkable feat – capturing the sunlight’s essence and reflecting it through a mesmerizing dance of glimmers, mirroring the natural radiance of actual leaves.

Join the Journey on Instagram!

As Ad Light Group reflects on our involvement in this exceptional venture, a sense of pride resonates. The Evertrees Lakewood project is not just about trees and steel; it’s a symbol of collaboration, a tribute to nature, and a salute to the city’s identity. The amalgamation of Ad Light Group’s craftsmanship, Nestor Fedak’s artistic brilliance, and the Lakewood community’s appreciation has culminated in an icon that will etch its place in history.

The ‘Evertrees Lakewood’ project stands as a living testament to the seamless fusion of artistry and innovation. Ad Light Group’s expertise in crafting the patina steel trunks and creating the resplendent aluminum leaves showcases their dedication to realizing an artistic vision that harmonizes with the surroundings and uplifts the community’s spirit. The collaboration between Ad Light Group, Nestor Fedak, and the City of Lakewood has given birth to an enduring symbol of nature’s grandeur and human creativity. As the sun filters through the leaves, casting a shimmering spectacle of light, one can’t help but be drawn into the enchanting world of Evertrees Lakewood – a realm where art and innovation intertwine to create magic on Historic Colfax Ave.

AMLI RiNo – Multifamily Signage

The River North neighborhood in Denver, Colorado is among the fastest growing communities in the nation. The area, formerly an industrial hub, is home to some of the most forward thinking developments in the state combining groundbreaking architecture and next-generation sustainability. AMLI River North, a 388 unit property located on the eastern bank of the Platte River, partnered with Ad Light to develop a multifamily signage package that drew inspiration from the area’s character and molded for a modern luxury multifamily design.

The main entry monument incorporated the community’s logo of an abstract rhino and embellished the dimensionality with a 2 layer design, standing the first layer off by an inch to allow for golden illuminated on an outlined backer. For the graphics package, Ad Light embraced the existing graffiti and integrated it into the design by scanning the walls with a high definition camera and replicating the artwork on the new prints. ADA signage employed raw materials such as steel and bolts to convey the industrial theme throughout while maintaining ADA standard for tactile lettering and visibility.

Projects like these are a great example of how architectural signage can carry the history of the locality while catering to the next generation of the community.
