ArbNet Marketing
We have an ArbNet accreditation sign that you can order through Cynosure Custom Signs Inc. The process and details are below:
- ArbNet accredited arboreta can use the Cynosure Contact Us form from their website or can email Cynosure at cynosuresigns@gmail.com, and reference the ArbNet accreditation sign. If an arboretum wishes to purchase a customized version of the sign with their logo, they will need to send their logo file to Cynosure as well.
- The signs are made of dibond (an aluminum composite sheet) and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
- Sign options (prices do not include cost of shipping or taxes):
- 9x12 inches, customized or uncustomized: $25 (USD)
- 12x18 inches, customized or uncustomized: $35 (USD)
- If you live outside of the United States, you can request the sign image file by emailing the ArbNet Coordinator at arbnet@mortonarb.org and take it to a local sign vendor near you.
