Two gently curved posts, welded together at the peak, form an arched sign post with a pointed top. The panel follows it, with a flat base and two curving arcs that meet in a point.
A single post is bent into a radiused top, with both legs planted in the ground. The panel has a flat base, straight sides and a radiused top, so it reads as a conventional panel with a softer outline.
A single post opens into a radius at the top that wraps the top half of a circular panel. It's the most popular style in the range and widely used for school signage, thanks to its playful, welcoming look.
