What Is a Pylon Sign and Why Does Your Business Need It?

Imposing, eye-catching, and versatile—pylon signs are some of the most powerful signage you can get for your business. Pylon signs consist of a large vertical sign face mounted on tall supporting legs. Pylons can be used to showcase just one business or as a directory sign to list several company names.

They are ideal as entrance signs, and often installed at entrances to commercial complexes. At Envision Orlando, our customers use pylons to great effect, including for:

  1. Unlocking new revenue streams by advertising with custom post and pylon signs.
  2. Towering over obstructions, such as buildings and trees.
  3. Reaching out to customers far and wide.
  4. Advertising to fast-moving traffic, such as cars and trucks.
  5. Promoting ongoing sales, discounts, and new products.
  6. Displaying live information, such as gas prices and moving images.

Outdoor Pylon Signs: Select the Best Option for You.

Pylon signs are freestanding sign structures supported by poles. Businesses in Orlando, Winter Park, and across Florida use a variety of pylon signs including illuminated, unlit, single-sided, or double-sided.

Benefits of pylon signs for businesses

One of the biggest benefits of outdoor pylon signs is height. Pylon signs elevate your message, making it easy to spot, even at long distances. If you’re running your business out of a single-floor building, pylon signs are a great way to increase your visibility and generate more impressions.

Tall outdoor pylon signs also serve as fantastic landmarks for wayfinding.

Nighttime visibility is another major benefit. Outdoor pylon signs can be illuminated internally or via spotlights positioned on the ground.

Types of Pole and Pylon Signs

  • LED pylon signs
  • Single pole-mounted pylon signs
  • Two pole-mounted pylon signs
  • Covered outdoor pole pylon signs
  • Custom lightbox pylon signs

Pole and pylon signs are 100 percent customizable. Choose any shape, size, color, and style and the in-house creative team at Envision Orlando will bring your pylon sign design vision to life.

Additionally, as part of our commitment to a smooth and easy customer experience, we provide full support with installation and can help you understand local sign ordinances to keep your pylon sign project compliant.

Pylon Sign vs. Monument Sign: Is There a Difference?

The defining features of pylon signs are their large size and height. Pylons are typically 20 feet and taller, with large sign faces.

Monument signs, on the other hand, are mounted on the ground or on short supports, often no more than 10 feet tall. Monument signs also use an architectural design and are made of marble, stone, and cement.

Post and Panel Signs: Affordable, Accessible Signs for Most Businesses

If you don’t have the space or need for a large pylon sign on your property, then post and panels are an affordable alternative that can be installed almost anywhere. Ranging from 4 to 8 feet tall, these signs don’t need special support and can be installed in confined spaces, too.

FAQs

What materials are commonly used in the construction of pylon signs?
Pylon signs are traditionally built using robust materials like aluminum, steel, and HDU to craft the base. The sign faces typically feature acrylic, as it offers weather resistance and clarity. All materials are UV-treated to prevent discoloration and fading under direct sunlight. We also use LED lighting to lower operating costs and minimize servicing requirements.
What are the typical dimensions and designs for pylon signs?
Pylon signs can be designed to tower anywhere from 10 to 80 feet tall. Depending on your requirements, they will have one or two supporting pillars and double-sided panels for visibility from two directions. The sign face can be as small as 10’ x 6’ feet or as large as 30’ x 15’.
Are pylon signs customizable to match my brand's aesthetic and requirements?
Absolutely, you can personalize every aspect of pylon signs to enhance your branding and suit its surroundings. You can tailor their height, shape, and design to meet your needs. You can also incorporate logos, channel letters, modular panels for changing messages, and digital sign faces to maximize advertising opportunities.
Are there any local regulations or permits required for installing a pylon sign?
There are two things to consider when installing a pylon: sign permits and zoning requirements. First, check the zoning laws applicable in your area. These may limit the maximum height of structures or prohibit the use of pylons. Next, complete Orlando’s Building Permit Forms. This checklist can help you do that.
What is the typical lifespan of a pylon sign?
A well-maintained pylon sign can last for 10-15 years, though our signs routinely last even longer than that due to their quality. The lifespan of your sign traditionally depends on the materials used and exposure to the elements. However, additional maintenance can be implemented regularly to ensure your sign goes the distance.
