Supersigns or Monoliths, amplify symbolism or messaging. This is particularly relevant in a complex environment with competing signals. The Supersign study considered heights between 80 and 100 feet tall and potentially in a location adjacent to a major urban center. The Studies recognize that the supersign communicated at the level of the City, the Block, or the Pedestrian scale.

The research evaluated the results of multiple variables. These included the geometry of the base (rectangular, square, or triangular); operations that generated the form such as rotation and fold; and the modulation of the surface (tessellation or score). The composition also evaluated the impact of symmetry as well as the geometry of the surface elements. Finally, multiple permutations between these operations resulted in 36 or more options.
