Premium Quality Custom Pylon Signs Vaughan & Concord, ON

Why is it called a pylon sign?

The word pylon is very British even though it comes from Greek. The Brits refer to anything with legs that support something else as a pylon. This includes bridge supports and the concrete supports under highway overpasses or the steel monstrosities we call hydro-towers, they call pylons. It’s a Greek word originally; a pylon was a wood or stone bar or a decorated rod that marked the gateway to an Egyptian temple. Today the modern illuminated pylon sign marks the gate to many different types of modern bazaars in Vaughan, ON.

What’s the difference between a Pylon Sign and a Monument Sign?

Here at Sign Source Solution, we distinguish pylon signs and monument signs. It’s our position that pylon signs have legs and as such, they’re engineered entirely different than monument signs which are solid with no vertical supports. Monument signs have sturdy bases that don’t require deep foundations. Monument signs are made of wood, masonry and stone, or materials that resemble stone. They’re statuesque on-site installations with eye-level messaging.

Sign Source Solution specializes in Foam Core Monuments made to look like real stone. Select from marble, quartz and onyx; these creations appear incredibly realistic and formidable, and of course, this durable material costs considerably less than real stone. A Foam Core monument sign requires no maintenance; it will never fade or decay and it’s tested for extreme Canadian weather (-60 degrees Celsius to 100 degrees Celsius).

What’s the difference between a Monolith sign and Pole Sign and a Pylon Sign?

Monolith signs and Pole signs are also Pylon Signs, but these names refer to signage that has only one upright. Pole signs come in a variety of shapes and sizes but in almost every case a lighted cabinet is supported by a single steel pole. Monolith signs are study installations that have one leg only and it’s so wide the whole block appears monolithic. Each of these designs has its advantages and in the best-case scenario, good signs can become real landmarks that consumers use to navigate the local community.

How much does a pylon sign cost?

That’s too broad a category to answer that question. Each pylon sign is unique and when compared together you’ll see how they vary in complexity, material, and size. This makes it impossible to state a set-price or event postulate a spectrum. Does your project require a sign design? And Legal Permits? And Fabrication? And Installation?
