Increase Visibility and Drive Sales with Pylon Signs

Boost Your Brand

Pylon signs are an excellent investment for any business looking to increase brand awareness and drive sales. These freestanding, external signs are typically situated on the side of the road, making them highly visible to passing traffic. Whether featuring a digital screen or a static display, pylon signs capture attention and leave a lasting impression on potential customers.

By enhancing your brand’s presence, pylon signs can significantly enhance your business’s visibility and attract more foot traffic, ultimately boosting your sales.

Designing Pylon Signs

Pylon Design Considerations

There are two separate design aspects necessary when building pylon signs. The engineering component, and the graphic design component and both need consideration. Additionally, location is important as the installation site must be free from obstructions like power lines, tall trees, or underground pipes.

Design Elements

Modern pylon sign production techniques mean there is no limit to the elements that can be placed on the sign. Text, illustrations, or photographs may all be used in the overall design. Design elements can be 2D, 3D or can also incorporate LED lights or screens. Pylons don’t all have to be rectangular either. We can fabricate 3D forms and shapes which can be incorporated into the final design.

As with most other external signage, pylon signage design needs to include your logo, portray a simple, short message, make use of contrasting, brand colours, and use a clear and legible font to make it effective. Because of the freestanding nature of the sign, it can be double or single-sided, with both sides having the same design or each side showing different messages.

Structural Design

The internal structure of a pylon can have a single-mount, twin-pole mount, covered-pole mount, or be a custom light-box. Safety is paramount and the internal design of the structure of a pylon sign is best left to the experts.

We have qualified and experienced staff at our disposal and can produce something from scratch or we are happy to work with third parties of your choosing.

 

Creating Pylon Signs

Inner Pylon Structure

Because these business pole signs are usually large, they need to be solidly built and professionally installed to withstand the wind loadings placed on them. For this reason, we construct the signs with a welded steel internal structure, bolted to a purpose-made, steel-reinforced, concrete foundation. This steel structure is weatherproofed and can remain exposed or clad in a range of materials.

Pylon Cladding

Our preferred cladding material is Aluminium Composite Material, or ACM, a material consisting of two thin sheets of aluminum with a polyethylene core. This material is very flat, rigid, versatile, and weatherproof, making it ideal for pole sign production.

Along with ACM, there are many other construction materials available to create the desired look. Business pylons clad using brick, acrylic, or timber.

Sign Face

We use a host of different fabrication methods when creating the elements which make up the face of these outdoor pole signs. As mentioned previously, the structure can have a single or double-sided face. One commercial plinth sign can easily consist of 3D Channel LettersHalo LetteringDigital PrintCut Vinyl Graphics, and even LED components.

The vinyl for the graphics used for exterior pylons are UV resistant for durability, and all face elements are fully weatherproof.
