Planning Your Pylon Sign
Pylon signage gives businesses a highly visible roadside presence. The added height helps signs rise above cars, landscaping, and buildings. This makes businesses easier to see from a distance.
Benefits of Pylon Signs
Long-Distance Visibility
Tall freestanding signs help drivers identify your business before reaching the property.
Wayfinding
A well-placed pylon sign can help customers locate entrances, parking areas, and businesses set back from the road.
Multi-Tenant Identification
Shopping centers, retail plazas, office parks, and mixed-use properties often need multi-tenant signage. Pylon signs organize multiple tenant panels in one highly visible location.
Day & Night Visibility
LED lighting and electronic message centers can keep your business visible after dark.
Brand Recognition
Consistent colors, logos, and lettering make your brand easy to recognize from the road.
Signs must meet local building and zoning rules before installation. Sign size, location, lighting, and setbacks all affect the design.
