Pylon & Pole Signs FAQ

What is a pylon or pole sign?

A pylon or pole sign is a tall freestanding sign mounted on one or more poles or a clad column, designed to be read from the road. It commonly identifies a single business or lists multiple tenants at a shopping center or fuel station.

How do you size the copy for road visibility?

We size letter heights against viewing distance and traffic speed, so copy stays legible at the approach distance drivers actually have — then check contrast and spacing at that scale before the design is finalized.

Can you design multi-tenant pylon signs?

Yes. We lay out tenant panel stacks with consistent panel heights, removable panel detail, and a hierarchy that keeps the anchor tenant dominant while remaining panels stay readable.

Are the drawings ready for permitting?

Yes. Sets include scaled elevations, overall height, sign area calculations, and site plan placement with setbacks so the package can be submitted for a municipal sign permit. Foundation and wind-load engineering is sealed by a local engineer where required.

What files do I receive?

Layered Adobe Illustrator and EPS vectors with outlined type, PDF drawing sets, panel cut files, and a color-accurate site rendering for client approval.
