Monument Sign Vs Pylon Sign
When talking about suitable signage to grab the attention of motorists for your business, the graphic artists at Davis Signs & Graphics frequently recommend the installation of a pylon sign or monument sign for Phoenix business owners. Each signage solution advertises your company’s presence and brand through the display of your corporate colors and logo and successfully catch the eye of passing drivers. Having said that, many of our clients feel that they should replace their monument sign when a neighboring business gets a pylon sign installed. Should your business?
What’s the Difference Between a Monument Sign and a Pylon Sign?
One word: height. The traditional monument sign is typically no taller than about 5 feet. It shows your message at eye level and blends beautifully with your business landscaping. A pylon sign is much taller and grabs the eye of individuals that are still a bit away. Actually, most pylon signs are a lot taller than the buildings that house their businesses that they’re advertising.
Won’t This Make Pylon Signs the Perfect Sign?
It certainly doesn’t. Think about a neighborhood with mixed zoning patterns. Residential homes and/or apartment buildings are mixed in with banks, storefronts, and comparable businesses. Having a super tall pylon sign installed in this type of setting will make the company stand out – and not in a good way. It just doesn’t fit the personality of the area.
When Should I Decide on a Pylon Sign?
When your business is located in industrial areas where the distance between storage facilities and manufacturing plants encompassing city blocks, it makes sense to install a pylon sign and grabs the attention of drivers in search of your business to your location. A pylon sign is also a great idea if your business is one of several that are located along a highway, freeway or four-lane road. Vehicles on these types of roads travel faster and catching the eye of their drivers ahead of time is to your benefit.
Don’t forget that you don’t have to decide on the tallest pylon sign we manufacture. Shopping mall management companies choose pylon signs to showcase the names of the stores conducting business at their outlets, but they do it with signage that is of a reasonable height and, as a result, fits the personality of the area. A lot of business clients that order pylon signs will choose for versions that light up to enhance the visibility of the message they wish to convey.
How Do I Know if a Monument Sign is Right for my Business?
If you’re located along a two-lane road, a four-lane road with lower speed limits or within a more residential area, a monument sign is a great option. Additionally, don’t forget that you have options regarding the showing of your company’s information, which can increase the visibility of your sign. For instance, installing a digital reader board gives you the opportunity to change your message and catch the eye of drivers in this regard. Channel letters and lit box cabinets also work great.
