Logo sign examples

Examples of logo signs
  • Example 1: The five types of services that can appear on a logo sign are gas, food, lodging, camping, and tourist attractions. A maximum of six individual business logos can be displayed on the signs.
  • Example 2: Camping Logo service panel with months of operation supplemental message. Businesses displaying months of operation on their logo business panels are invoiced a prorated amount for the months listed on the supplemental message.
  • Example 3: Where room for service panels is limited, the Iowa DOT may erect a combination sign displaying more than one type of service.

1 The weighted average daily traffic count on Iowa’s Interstate Highway System is 24,751 vehicles in rural areas and 46,123 in municipal areas. (2019 data; Iowa DOT)

2 Have your business logo placed in front of thousands of consumers at key decision points for $2.50/day. Iowa’s participation fees are less than half the cost of the national average. ($920/year for a set of four signs, compared to national average of $1880/year;2018 data)

3 In the age of digital saturation, logo signs are still relied upon by consumers and retain one of the best return-on-investments for business owners. ($5.97 returned for every dollar spent on outdoor structures along highways; OAAA report, 5/16/17)
