It's at the entrance to my apartment. What is this type/style of signage called?

4It is called “sign.” - A sign is a piece of wood, metal, or plastic with words or pictures on it. Signs give you information about something, or give you a warning or an instruction. Collins– user 66974Apr 30 '20 at 11:51

1While that's true, some signs have slightly more specific names, like "nameplate". (Although nameplates usually go on doors or desks; the pictured one is big.)– Andrew Leach ♦Apr 30 '20 at 11:55

'Nameboard' might be frowned on by principals as being too down-market. But it is a board with a name on.– Edwin AshworthApr 30 '20 at 11:57

2As per a quick Google search, these are often called entrance signs or panel signs or, as per @Laurel, monument signs. There doesn't seem to be any standardization. To complicate matters further, each of these types may include signs that serve different purposes. For example, entrance signs may be signs such as the OPs, signs on the doors entering facilities, signs near highway on-ramps, etc.– Richard KayserApr 30 '20 at 13:00

The websites of some companies that sell similar signs (for example one in California and one in Georgia) call them “apartment complex signs”. This makes it clear that it’s for the entire complex and not just a single apartment.
(In addition, this seems to be a “monument sign”.)

More specific in the world of apartment complex signs; more general in the world of signs in general. May 2 '20 at 17:13
