The monument is a single-faced sign rising<br />

from a dynamic base. It is available in two<br />

standard heights: 6'6" and 9'8". Because of its<br />

simple horizontality, this sign is more traditional<br />

in appearance than the pylon sign, but with the<br />

dynamic base, the sign is a striking accent to<br />

<strong>GE</strong> facilities.<br />

As a single-faced sign, the monument sign<br />

is installed parallel to a two-way street or<br />

perpendicular to a one-way street.<br />

The monument sign is preferred as the primary<br />

sign at locations where<br />

•there is sufficient space for its installation, such<br />

as a lawn area<br />

(Note: At locations where insufficient space<br />

prevents use of the dynamic base, the ground<br />

sign, page 09, may be used.)<br />

•a single-sided sign is legible from typical<br />

viewpoints<br />

Dynamic Base<br />

The chief function of the dynamic base is æsthetic.<br />

When viewed from different angles, the base<br />

appears to be a portion of a large rectangular<br />

solid block, buried below but breaking through<br />

the earth’s surface at a surprising angle. To<br />

emphasize this dramatic quality, the base may be<br />

finished in Laser Red or, as shown in the drawing,<br />

in dark grey.<br />
