Custom Pylon Signs That Make a Statement Across OH, KY & WV

At Sun Sign Company, we specialize in designing and building custom pylon signs that command attention and instill confidence. Whether towering over a busy highway or standing tall at the entrance of a financial institution, pylon signs offer unmatched visibility and a powerful first impression. For over 15 years, we've helped banks, credit unions, airports, retailers, and other businesses across Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia establish a bold and lasting presence.

What Is a Pylon Sign?

A pylon sign is a freestanding structure supported by one or more poles or columns, often enclosed in a decorative base or cladding. Unlike pole signs, which usually consist of a single exposed pole and sign cabinet, pylon signs have a more substantial architectural presence. They often feature multiple sign faces, LED message centers (EMCs), and decorative framing that reflects the brand's style and stature.

Pylon vs. Pole Signs:

While both are freestanding and roadside-friendly, pylon signs are typically more complex, larger, and architecturally integrated. They are ideal for businesses looking to project stability, professionalism, and permanence.

Featured Project: Greater Portsmouth Regional Airport

One of our most iconic pylon sign projects is the 40-foot-tall monument for the Greater Portsmouth Regional Airport. This structure features an oversized EMC display and a truly unique centerpiece—a custom-built, scaled-down Gulfstream-style jet perched at the top as if in flight.

Nicknamed “SUNY1”, the jet is fully detailed, including tail section branding, and represents the creativity and engineering capability that sets Sun Sign Company apart. It's more than signage—it’s storytelling in steel and light.
