Introducing the Pylon Sign: The Basics
While there’s a good chance you’ve never heard of the term pylon sign before, you’ve certainly encountered them in your day-to-day life. Pylon signs are a popular choice for businesses and have many benefits that make them a worthwhile investment.
In order to decide if the pylon sign is the right choice for you, it’s important to understand a few facts about it. In specific what they are, how much they cost, and how they can be customized to reflect your personal style and the personality of your business.
A pylon sign, like a monument sign or post and panel, is a freestanding sign. A freestanding sign is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. It is a sign that stands alone, independently, without being mounted or affixed to a wall. Freestanding signs are a great choice for businesses with limited visibility or for those businesses looking to entice and direct pedestrians on foot.
In particular, the freestanding pylon sign is supported by poles, sometimes one or two. They are made with a metal frame, aluminum, or steel, and feature a face that is rigid or flexible depending on preference. You can choose the message and imagery that you would like to display, and because of its configuration, you can display it on one or both sides. Like most signs, pylon can be illuminated or backlit with fluorescent lamps or LED lights. This helps promote visibility, while also appearing aesthetically pleasing.
Unpacking The Benefits of Pylon Signs
Every sign option has its own set of benefits, which can help narrow down your search when comparing and contrasting prototypes and models. Because it’s a good idea to have as much information as possible in order to make an informed decision, here are some of the most favorable defining features of pylon signs:
Visibility: Pylon signs are notably high visibility, stemming from their freestanding nature and their ability to feature images and text on both sides of a face/panel.
Economical: Customization can run up the tab on any signage, but fundamentally, a pylon sign is relatively affordable compared to other comparable models.
Spacious: Pylon signs tend to be larger in stature, which makes them ideal for those who are looking to add on a considerable amount of text and/or imagery. Additionally, because a pylon sign can be double-sided, it allows for increased visibility and extra space.
Location: Freestanding signs can be placed advantageously, helping to direct people to your business. Some businesses are hard to identify, but a pylon sign will help take the guesswork out of locating your position.
