Case Studies: Bronze Dedication Plaques in and around San Diego
All Star Signs works with general contractors and clients directly on the design of the plaques. For example, Balfour Beatty Construction hired our shop to produce a dedication plaque for Logan Elementary School. It is a cast plaque with a black background that memorializes the work on the campus; installers mounted it to a wall with wooden slats.
At the request of Webcor, our team put together a dedication plaque at Camp Pendleton. It commemorates the 50th anniversary and consists of a precision-tooled plaque with a black background and bronze border. We installed this one on a large rock.
The administration at Southwest College contacted us directly to request the design of a plaque that would commemorate the college police building’s dedication.
Why Choose a Cast or Precision-Tooled Bronze Plaque?
Bronze is an excellent material that looks elegant, works well for casting, and allows for a wide variety of design details. Examples include the addition of logos, images, and other style elements. Best of all, bronze plaques are so durable that manufacturers measure their longevity in lifetimes.
Of course, there are also individual design options that add to the appeal.
- Borders. While you do not have to select a border style for your plaque, most clients prefer it. There is a single border with a bevel or without one. We can work with the width of the bevel to create a more impressive presentation. If you prefer, you also have the choice of getting a double line setup.
- Background texture. Clients like the color contrast that the slightly reddish-bronze brings to a black backdrop color. However, your customization option does not stop there. There is the possibility of adding a texture that imitates sand. Another favorite is stipple. Some clients prefer a satin finish for the surface, while others request a semi-gloss.
- Color choices. It does not often happen; however, some clients ask us to paint their plaques in various colors. We are happy to do so. If needed, we match the color to the custom tone you have been using for your logo or online persona. When you choose to keep the metal in its natural color, black is the most common background choice. That said, you might go a little lighter with a dark oxide or brown hue.
