St. Jane Frances de Chantal Church in Bethesda had a problem: Their main exterior signage was in bad shape. It looked like the sign was printed on vinyl, then laminated and applied to a 1/2” plywood material. Unfortunately, the laminate used was not UV-resistant, so the result was a cracked and browned surface which looked more than a little ugly. In addition, the Paroisse Saint-Louis de France shares the space with the church, and holds their own services here. While their signage was in a little better shape, it was decided to update theirs at the same time.

After consulting with the church and determining their needs, including an informational panel beneath the main sign with content that may change, we concluded that a double-sided, carved High Density Urethane (HDU) panel would suit their needs best. We took the opportunity to update the design of the new sign using their new logo (as found on their website), and used their preferred logo colors. We also upgraded the posts to 8” ten-foot posts, with a molded painted sleeve and decorative caps.
From first contact to project completion, the entire process took roughly 2 months - of that time, 4 weeks was the actual sign production. Now St. Jane Frances de Chantal Church has a brand new, elegant permanent sign that has updated their look and invites visitors clearly and cleanly. All in all, it was a painless process that resulted in a beautiful facelift for the church.
The church has gotten so many compliments on the update since installation. They were so pleased, they approached us again to discuss updating the sign for their attached school! Beautiful outdoor church signs are easy at Next Day Sign Express!
