channel letters

These are considered business signs, but each letter on the sign is separate, illuminated, and three-dimensional in shape. A common form of this type of commercial signage is the letters seen at the top of the exterior wall of a hotel that spell out its name.

You can even see letters that have been placed directly on top of a large stone to create unique monument business signs. Around the stone sign you can see a landscape design of plants and flowers.

billboards

These signs are very large and often have bold graphics. Many areas now have requirements, including height requirements, for billboards on major interstate highways due to their potential to distract drivers trying to read them. A requirement in addition to the height that they can have is the distance at which they must be from the highway or road.

electron message center

Some of these signs may simply display the time and temperature or may have a scrolling scroll of messages, such as things on sale at the store, along with colorful images.
