Phylon (or “pylon”) signage is a distinct type of outdoor signage designed to make a bold visual impact and enhance brand visibility. Unlike standard wall-mounted or smaller standalone signs, pylon signage is usually freestanding and designed to be taller, often positioned at entrances or roadside locations where visibility from a distance is essential. Here’s an in-depth look at why pylon signage is unique, Ashiba’s process for designing and installing these signs, and the key considerations when creating effective pylon signage.
Why Pylons Are Different from Conventional Signage
Pylon signs differ from conventional signage in several significant ways:
- Visibility: Due to their height, pylon signs can be seen from a distance, even amidst crowded areas or along highways, making them highly effective for directing traffic to specific locations or businesses.
- Structure: Pylon signs are typically mounted on one or two tall poles and can withstand varying weather conditions, offering durability that is crucial for high-visibility outdoor installations.
- Customization: Pylon signs are versatile and can be customized in various ways, including single or double-sided displays, LED lighting, and illuminated panels, making them adaptable to any brand or architectural design.
- Cost Efficiency Over Time: Although they may require a larger upfront investment, pylon signs are long-lasting, providing years of brand visibility and reducing the need for frequent replacement.
Process of Design and Installation of Pylons
At Ashiba, the design and installation process for pylon signage is meticulous, ensuring that each sign meets aesthetic, structural, and functional standards. Here’s an outline of the steps involved:
- Consultation and Concept Development: Ashiba’s team collaborates with the client to understand their branding requirements, site characteristics, and local regulations. Based on these factors, an initial concept is developed
- Design and Material Selection: Using specialized software, Ashiba’s designers create a detailed rendering of the pylon. Materials are selected based on durability, appearance, and compatibility with illumination if needed.
- Engineering and Structural Assessment: Given the large scale of pylon signage, the engineering team assesses factors such as wind resistance, foundation depth, and weight to ensure the structure is secure.
- Permits and Approvals: Ashiba handles the necessary permits and approvals required for the installation, taking into account any regional or municipal guidelines.
- Fabrication and Assembly: Skilled fabricators then assemble the sign at Ashiba’s facility, ensuring each component is crafted to precise specifications.
- Installation and Final Inspection: The sign is transported to the site and securely installed. Ashiba’s team conducts a final inspection to ensure that the sign meets all aesthetic and structural standards.
Types of Pylon Signage
Pylon signage comes in several forms, each suited to different needs:
- Single-Pole Pylon Signs: Supported by one central pole, ideal for minimalist designs or smaller branding needs.
- Twin-Pole Pylon Signs: Features two poles, providing additional stability and allowing for larger sign panels.
- Illuminated Pylon Signs: Equipped with LED or backlit options, making them ideal for 24-hour visibility.
- Monument Pylon Signs: Shorter than typical pylons, monument signs are usually closer to the ground, combining pylon durability with a lower profile that suits entrances or multi-business locations.
- Directional Pylon Signs: Often used for wayfinding, these signs help direct traffic within large complexes such as malls, hospitals, or campuses.

Key Considerations While Designing Pylons
Creating effective pylon signage involves several critical design considerations:
- Height and Scale: The sign should be tall enough to be visible without overwhelming the environment or blocking sightlines.
- Structural Integrity: Pylons must be engineered to withstand harsh weather conditions, especially in windy or coastal areas.
- Brand Consistency: Colors, fonts, and logos should align with the brand’s identity, providing a recognizable presence for viewers.
- Lighting Options: If nighttime visibility is essential, incorporating LED or other lighting options can ensure 24/7 visibility.
- Environmental Impact: Materials should be chosen with sustainability in mind, and energy-efficient lighting can reduce environmental impact and energy costs.
