Free Standing Signs
Highly Visible Identity
Free standing signs are a popular and effective way for businesses to establish a strong presence at both the street level for monument signs as well as highway and road visibility with tall pylon signs.
Monument Signs
Monument signs are a popular and effective way for businesses to establish a strong presence at street level. These ground-mounted signs are typically installed near entrances and are designed to be both durable and visually appealing.
Unlike taller pole signs, these free standing signs offer a more integrated, architectural look that complements the surrounding landscape and building design. Because they sit lower to the ground, they create a welcoming, professional first impression while still being highly visible to passing traffic.
There are many different styles of monument signs to suit a wide range of branding needs. Some businesses opt for sleek, modern designs with clean lines and minimalistic finishes, while others prefer more traditional styles that incorporate decorative elements and classic shapes. Monument signs can be customized in terms of size, shape, color, and typography, allowing businesses to match their signage perfectly with their overall brand identity.
Whether it’s a multi-tenant directory or a single-tenant display, these signs can be tailored to communicate information clearly and effectively. Overall, monument signs are a powerful branding tool that can help a business stand out, increase visibility, and make a lasting impression on customers driving or walking by.
Engineered Foundation
The base of a monument sign can be constructed from a variety of materials, giving it both structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.
Common options include brick, stone, concrete, metal, and high-density foam with textured finishes. These materials can be selected to match or complement the building’s exterior, helping the sign feel like a natural extension of the property.
Lighting Options
Monument signs can be either illuminated or non-illuminated, depending on the business’s needs and location. Internally lit signs provide excellent visibility at night, often using LED lighting for energy efficiency and long-lasting performance.
Externally lit options, such as ground-mounted spotlights, can also highlight the sign face in a more subtle way.
Non-lit monument signs, on the other hand, rely on natural light and are often chosen for areas with strong daytime visibility or where local regulations limit illuminated signage.
Multi Tenant Sign
Monument signs are also a practical choice for multi-tenant properties such as shopping centers, office parks, and medical campuses. Interchangeable panel systems allow individual tenants to update their information without requiring a full sign replacement, making them a flexible long-term investment.
Pylon / Pole Signs
Pylon signs are tall, freestanding signs designed to give businesses maximum visibility from a distance. They are commonly installed near roadways, shopping centers, industrial properties, and commercial entrances where they can be easily seen by passing drivers.
Pylon signs can display a single business name or feature multiple tenant panels, making them an excellent option for plazas and multi-business locations. They can also include illuminated cabinets, channel letters, or electronic message centers for added impact.
One of the greatest benefits of a pylon sign is its ability to attract attention and help customers quickly locate a business. Their height and large display area allow them to remain visible above vehicles, landscaping, and nearby buildings. A professionally designed pylon sign also strengthens brand recognition, improves the appearance of the property, and provides continuous advertising day and night.
For businesses located away from the road or in busy commercial areas, a pylon sign can be an effective way to increase traffic and stand out from the competition.
