Pylon Signs for Business

A pylon sign puts your identification above the tree line and the competition, visible to fast-moving traffic long before a customer reaches the driveway. Highmark manufactures and installs pylon structures in our own Florida shop, engineered for the state's wind conditions.

Pylon Sign Types

A pylon sign is a freestanding, pole-mounted structure built for long-distance visibility, the opposite design goal of a ground-level monument sign. Highmark builds structures to match the site, the traffic pattern and the tenant mix.

Single-Pole

The most common configuration, a cost-effective, sturdy structure for a single business identification.

Twin-Pole

Added stability for larger sign cabinets and taller structures.

Multi-Tenant Pylon

Shared structures for shopping centers and multi-business sites, with individual tenant panels.

Illuminated / EMC-Equipped

Internally illuminated cabinets or electronic message centers for dynamic pricing and promotions.

Pylon vs. Monument

Height is the main differentiator. A pylon sign is elevated for highway and long-distance visibility, while a monument sign sits low and reads best at street level or from a parking lot. Zoning often dictates which structure a site can use, see our full pylon vs. monument sign comparison for more detail, or our pylon sign cost guide for budgeting factors.

Engineered for Florida

Pylon structures are engineered to Miami-Dade and Broward County hurricane wind-load standards, heavier-gauge aluminum, reinforced pole and base connections, and mounting systems built for coastal exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a pylon sign and a monument sign?

Height and mounting. A pylon sign is elevated on one or more poles for long-range highway visibility, while a monument sign sits low on a solid ground-level base for street-level and pedestrian viewing.

Can pylon signs include a digital message center?

Yes. We manufacture electronic message centers that integrate into pylon and monument structures for dynamic pricing or promotional messaging.

Are pylon signs engineered for hurricane wind loads?

Yes. Pylon structures are engineered to Miami-Dade and Broward County wind-load standards, using heavier-gauge aluminum and reinforced mounting points for coastal Florida sites.
