New Church Signs for Westminster Presbyterian Church, Waynesboro, VA
As the new minister at Westminster Presbyterian Church set up shop a few weeks ago, new signage designed and manufactured by Augusta Sign Company was being installed outside!
The old sign system was dated, faded, cracked and falling apart. The old signs were removed and replaced with new or refurbished sign panels of consistent elements of design, color and materials. The main sandblasted sign was completely restored with colors of the website branding, two shades of blue, gray, white and maroon. A changeable panel sign was added to the bottom of the main sign and then replicated on matching carved cedar signs at the church’s main entrances.
Permits were applied for and secured by Augusta Sign Company and all the fabrication and installation was completed over the month of August, 2015. The treated posts were very green when installed, so they will be finished a gray color that matches the other posts in the system once dried. The property committee of the church is working on mulch beds below the signs to add attractiveness and prevent weed-eater damage to the posts as they have experienced in the past.
The complete sign system consisted of restoring and upgrading the main sign, building two new parking lot entrance signs as pictured, restoring five existing small building and directional signs, and adding two new building signs for the sanctuary and chapel entrances. The new pastor is surveying needs for new interior signage as well. After the signs were completed, I received many positive comments and the new pastor is using the sign design in her programs! Pretty cool project. I liked the opportunity to help by using my talents to draw community-attention to a Christ-focused organization. The project cost was just over $6,000, with several members donating steel brackets, mulching, and 6 X 6 treated posts.
