Valparaiso University came to Steindler Signs to recreate their entrance monuments in a smaller scale for the new University Dr. and Lincolnway entrance. These monuments, although resembling concrete, are actually welded steel structures with a textured 'sand' spray finish, custom routed acrylic lettering and VU Seal plaques that although are nearly indistinguishable from their existing brass plaques are actually just acrylic with vinyl graphics at a fraction of the cost!
