Pole/Pylon Signs:
Pylon signs can also be illuminated as well as non-illuminated. They are great for businesses that are close to the highway or in a highly competitive area. We have also found them to be quite helpful in a situation where the business is tucked away a few streets back from a main road. They can also be multi-tenant style like monument signs.
