What Exactly is a Pylon Sign?

Pylon signs, also known as pole or freestanding signs, are well known in the sign industry. Simply put, pylon signs are outdoor signage that is mounted on a very high single pole, or double poles. Pylon signs can be one-sided or double-sided, depending on the direction the sign will be facing, and they are commonly made with an aluminum or steel frame and feature either a rigid or flexible face.

Pylon signs can display your branding or message on either one or both sides. Often pylon signs are illuminated or backlit with LED fluorescent lamps, however, they also can be left without illumination. While pylon is the technical term for this type of signage, you may hear them being referred to as road signs, highway signs, freestanding signs, or pole signs. No matter what you call it, it’s going to get your business noticed! Here are the four basic types of custom pylon signs:

Single-pole mount signs

Freestanding or single-pole pylon signs are a classic design that can be both economical and monumental in heightening your brand awareness.

Twin-pole mount signs

Twin-pole mounted pylon signs offer increased stability and can support more prominently formatted signs. Some people also prefer the symmetrical double pole aesthetic!

Covered pole signs

What is your pylon sign goal? Some businesses are looking for the benefits of a pylon sign, without the exposed structural pole. Covered pole signs achieve this! You can customize the pole’s cover to anything you can imagine.

Custom lightbox signs

Adding lighting to your business’s pylon signage keeps it highly visible during the day and night, or in less than ideal weather conditions. Take your outdoor advertising to the max!

The Benefits of Pylon Signage

Visibility

What is the best part about a pylon sign? Americans’ average one-way commute is just over 26 minutes —that means the average American spends nearly 200 hours per year in their car commuting to work. If your business is not yet capitalizing on highly-visible roadside signage to draw in more customers, it’s time to start!

Attractiveness

Pylon signage is an excellent option to get your business’s message out there beautifully —although some who haven’t seen a well-designed pylon sign may consider them unsightly! We’re here to help you create a beautiful pylon sign. LED illumination options can make your sign extra eye-catching, even from a great distance.

Location

Pylon signs can be placed wherever they will garner the most attention, giving you extra freedom to draw customers in from further distances away from your business. They’re a great outdoor advertising choice if your business is hard to see from a main road or highway! Your only dilemma will be deciding what location is best for your pylon sign.

Pylon signs are often located away from your main business and are placed at the entrance to your property or along the road to allow customers to find you more easily. Keep in mind that depending on regulations in your area, you may be restricted as to the maximum allowable height for your sign.

Pylon signage can be an excellent choice for businesses with any of the following qualities:

• Set back from a main road
• Set behind a parking lot area
• Obstructed by something like another building, blocking customers’ view
• Looking to attract traffic from a nearby highway
• Set in an industrial area with little to no traffic
