Pylon Signs

Boost your brand’s advertising with custom pylon signs.

Pylon signs can often be seen towering over the parking lots of strip malls and shopping plazas, showcasing businesses and catching the eyes of customers. A custom pylon sign informs passing motorists and pedestrians of your presence from hundreds of feet away. Durable, visible, and versatile, pylon signs (also known as pole signs) can be double-sided or single-sided, and traditionally feature an illuminated lightbox on top.

The defining feature of a pylon sign is its rigid face, supported by either one or two metal poles. Large enough to carry panels representing multiple businesses, outdoor pylon signs draw attention from customers who might have otherwise overlooked stores beyond their intended destination.

What are the different types of pylon signs?

At Signs Now Oak Lawn, we have a wide variety of pylon signs that can be customized to fit into your overall signage and marketing strategy.

• Single-pole mount pylon signs – Want a classic and economical design? Single-pole mount pylon signs are perfect for those looking to stand out among high-rise structures. They typically stand as tall as eighty feet, though some stretch up to one hundred feet.
• Twin-pole mount pylon signs – Two poles provide greater rigidity and added strength, but some marketers also prefer the symmetry of a two-pole design.
• Covered-pole pylon signs – If you don’t like the visual appeal of an exposed aluminum pole, you can cover the structural supports in a variety of creative ways. Our team can fabricate a custom, personalized cover that’ll match your business’ aesthetic.
• Custom lightbox pole signs – These resemble monument signs in their robust construction and placement near entrances and exits. They are often used by shopping centers and malls to display the names and logos of businesses.

What are pylon signs used for?

As one of the more versatile forms of roadside and exterior signage, they work successfully within a variety of different environments, including:

• Bars
• Business parks
• Car dealerships
• Car washes
• Gas stations
• Hotels
• Industrial complexes
• Malls
• Mechanic shops
• Movie theaters
• Restaurants
• Retail stores
• Shopping plazas
• Truck stops

How is a custom pylon sign different from other types of signage?

One of the key differences between pylon signs and other types of signage like monument signs and post and panel signs is the height. Pylon signs tend to be higher than the surrounding buildings, although high-density, urban areas are an exception to the rule.

So, the type of outdoor signage you select will largely depend on your objectives.
