Typically, pole signs will act as a towering beacon for your development, mall, commercial, venue or retail center.

Therefore, you may want to consider some of these helpful rules of thumb:

• Keep it simple yet appealing.
• Simple meaning to much clutter can distract passers-by.
• Make sure each tenant panel has room to breath.
• Use LED lighting to save on pole sign service and maintenance cost.
• The shopping center anchor will want a much larger marquee.
• Custom themes are great especially when brand names are easy to read.
• Add an LED reader board or display to promote specials.
• Use Neon trim to turn heads.
• Make good use of sign codes and set backs.
• Why be boring, right? stand out and get noticed.

This non-illuminated towering pylon sign is visible to adjacent interstate and it’s easy to read

For example, If your a truck stop owner on a major interstate you want a large single or dual pole free-standing sign to attract drivers from far away.

Whereas, gas stations may want to add LED panels that display the current price-per-gallon of gasoline. Pylon signage like this makes it easy to change the fuel price verses old school slide in numbers.

If your taking a retail pad parcel for a fast food, restaurant or C-store make sure you have enough allotted signage to code to present your branded Corporate ID on your pole signs.

Las Vegas has very favorable sign codes whereas some cities like Boulder Colorado only allow 4 foot tall pole signs. Can you believe that?

That’s why it can be a good idea to contact an expert in the sign businesses for some helpful guidance.

What if your opening up a new preschool or day care and your location is near a residential neighborhood? You may have sign lighting restrictions you may be unaware of?

Whereas, on the Las Vegas Strip you’ll probably get free reign on just about any type of pylon sign element you want to have designed and deploy.

Sign Companies like Signs West Outdoor can help you verify the local sign code(s) so you know ahead of time on what you will be able to do with your intended pole sign.

And sometimes natural obstructions and extra requirements must be considered. Like landscaping requirements, overhead power lines, ingress, egress and other nearby onsite signage can effect the size and location of your onsite pole signage. Even your design colors and layout can come into play.

Did you know properly designed Free Standing Pole Signs can attracts extra attention?

It’s true, when you are out driving, take a look around. Ever wonder why some pylon signs stand out in a crowd where others go unnoticed?

Do you notice easy to read text and good use of color on those pole signs that catch you eye? Or how about the ones you never see?

If you spot signs that attract your attention then maybe take some note? And ask why did that sign stand out?

A pylon sign is being lowered over a hidden from view support pole.

Some easy to recognize pole signs are usually:

• Fast food pylons
• Motel and Hotel chains
• Fuel and gas stations
• Restaurant chain signs
• C-Stores
• Big Box retailers
• Car rental companies
• Auto parts stores
• Grocery stores
• Global brands
• Malls and upscale retail
• Breakfast or 24/7 restaurants
• Creative local small business
• Famous resorts and casinos

And the list goes on. The main point is these pole signs stand out because of simplicity, good use of color, brand identification, easy to read text and design.

Thus, when considering a commercial center or retail center pole sign, re-skin, re-design, retro-fit or new pylon signs… Why not incorporate a memorable design verses a boring single pole sign with a simple white sign face cabinet with black letters.

Sure black text on white is the easiest to read, but on a sign face? Maybe think about a yellow back ground with red text if you’re looking for something simple? After all, people are driving by rather quickly? So why not grab their attention.

And if your considering some extra cost that can make your pole sign more memorable, then maybe it will turn-out to be worth penny.

Especially now-a-days with full color sign printing and high resolution LED matrix boards… your free-standing pole signs and pylon sign faces can be presented as a colorful display of your brand colors. Even a real-life photo of your product, room interiors, meals and services you offer.

So why not make good use of new sign manufacturing technology and include cutting edge designs into your pole sign visuals today.

Want some added Pole Sign insight?

Notice how bright this illuminated pole sign face is at night. Most pole signs are reverse lit with florescent tubes or LED panel lighting so there are no dark spots.

Not many people know, but unless a shopping center commercial developer or architect included pole signage in as a part of the master sign plan for their development then one maybe stuck with little to no  allowable signage.

Most retail center developers include the pole sign designs and their onsite locations into the new development plans. However, it’s always good to double check what is available to code.

Interestingly enough, a new shopping center or retail mall may have vast amounts of allocated signage to dole out (based upon the total square feet of the development or center).

Which means, the shopping center management company or owners maybe packing away some allowable signage. Which means, base upon the overall total square feet of the center, they can use this extra signage allotment to entice a major brand named store to lease-up space.

Doing so makes sure these big brands or anchors get rewarded with much larger store front and pole sign marquee signage space.

However, it never hurts to ask the property owner or management Company if you can grab a little bit more sign square footage. Even grab a higher spot or a bigger tenant panel on the main pylon signs in exchange for signing a 5 year lease.Never hurts to ask, right?

Or maybe see if a smaller onsite monument like sign is available. Because these types of on-site signs were already approved when the center submitted their development plans long ago. And usually no one, but the owner, knows they are allowable to add quickly. And maybe they’re keeping them a secrete for later use to use to attract a triple-A tenant. Or a certain complimentary business type? Like yours.

The best solution is to check with a licensed Sign Company.

Most importantly, if you are the owner? Do you go big with your on premise pylon signs? Knowing your tenant(s) will want their business name to stand out.
