What do you think of when plaques come to mind? Typically, it's some sort of formal recognition or award that calls for the immortalization of a job well done. Plaques have greater potential than that, though, with plenty of creative forms of commemoration worth considering. Honolulu Sign Company Limited has been providing the best in signs, custom decals, and other high-quality services to Hawaii businesses since 1939, and they have a few suggestion for anyone who wants to get creative with their own personalized plaques. 

3 Different Uses for Plaques

1. Historically Significant Locations

Plaques are one of the most effective ways to mark buildings and locations of historical significance. Well-placed signage won't just let everyone know they're standing before an important landmark. It can be used to convey all the necessary information to locals and visitors alike. Even if the original purpose of the building has changed, it's nice to have a reminder of how it all started. 

2. Memorial Signs

It's difficult to lose a loved one, but they will always live on in your memory. You can help honor them in a more public way by placing a plaque on a special place like a tree, bench, or another meaningful location. The accompanying dedication may include their name, birth and death dates, or even a relevant phrase or a quote they particularly enjoyed.  

3. New Business Openings

Plaques are often associated with memorializing the past, but they can also be used to commemorate the present and take a hopeful snapshot of the future. Use one to mark the occasion of a grand opening or new business venture, and everyone will be able to see how far you've progressed.
