Throughout the Tampa Bay area you can see the versatility of pole or pylon signs. Most business locations need exterior signage for ease of recognition, a way finding tool and of course, outdoor marketing!
Like any sign, it is only doing its job if it can be seen. That’s where the versatility of a pole sign really comes in. Since every location comes with its own unique needs and obstructions ( trees, fences, neighboring buildings, etc.), optimum sign height is essential. A pole or poles can be short, acting more like a monument sign, or as tall as code allows to lift their logo and graphics clear of the obstructions. The size of the sign can also vary with the property’s needs. Most pole signs are hoisting a custom cabinet sign where color, text and graphics options are endless. Cabinets can also use backlit LED lighting to get 24hr identification.
Everything from a single custom logo sign to multiple cabinets bearing individual business names under a main title sign, can be placed on poles. Allowing individual tenants to have their own exterior business sign under one sign gives a cohesive, professional look to small business parks and malls. Many property owners have made these a popular choice This ability to display multiple signs is not only beneficial to a multi tenant location but can allow a single business to convey addition messages. Some business names need a tag line to identify their type of business, or additional services they provide.
This St. Petersburg, FL. church, is enjoying not only multiple sign usage, but using the extra wide pylon to give additional information as well. Many business owners choose to install a second or third sign to be used for their additional information, like a telephone number, added services, or even for some, directional arrows. Restaurant signs very often add on to include drive thru arrows or instructions.
Exterior signage is often dictated by codes, designating either height or size restrictions and placement. With the limitless possible heights and widths of the poles, height restrictions are usually solved. Cabinet sizes too are endless, so business owners regain flexibility to get the sign they need. Another alternative is the refacing an old existing pole sign. This choice usually takes care of size issues and can be an economical solution for many businesses.
Downtown areas, school campuses, and city parks choose pole signs to provide continuity rather than for restrictive purposes. Many of these outdoor areas unify their locations with banners or flags on poles with the same color, text style and area logo. Others give more individual freedom and only require one unifying factor, like a matching color, to make identification and create consistency. The result is a beautiful, colorful area that is welcoming to visitors while serving an information purpose.
