A Pole Sign Boosts Visibility And Your Brand Profile

Pole Signs

A pole sign can raise your brand profile, literally and figuratively. Whether you’re located in a high-traffic area, rural area, or housed on a large piece of property, the pole sign can be custom fitted to suit your situation. Their versatility and cost-effectiveness make the pole sign a highly attractive solution for any business.

Reasons To Choose A Pole Sign

In places where you are competing for attention with other businesses nearby, the pole sign can lift your brand and get you the recognition and awareness to drive traffic and increase sales.

Because a pole sign is a free-standing cabinet sign that sits atop a pole, it becomes a much more efficient solution to fit small spaces while still having a big presence. 

On the flip side, in more rural areas or when your business sits on a large piece of property, a pole sign can signal to motorists from a distance, like a beacon that attracts and guides consumers to your location.

Cost-Effective

Many clients are trying to decide between the two most popular free-standing signs – a monument sign vs. a pole sign. In terms of cost, the pole sign is much easier on your budget compared to the more structurally and architecturally complex monument sign.

In terms of visibility? Well, nothing quite beats the pole sign.

Increase Visibility

Regardless of location, the pole sign significantly increases visibility. The large double-sided cabinet sign raised up offers an unobstructed view of your brand and logo from every direction. 

With LED illumination, the pole sign can boast 360-degree visibility 24/7. Not many signs can say that!

Placement and Permitting

Unless we’re installing the pole sign near an easement, special permitting is not required in most cases. This is also an attractive quality of a pole sign. In many situations, the city may require a pole sign, rather than another type of sign, so it is an easier process to get started.

Before we start the installation and dig, we always do our due diligence and make the right calls to the city to ensure the installation won’t disrupt any power or water lines. 

Most cities require the sign to sit at least 10′ back from the property line. It’s important for the pole sign to have a little space and some room to maximize visibility. You also have to consider the installation requirements.

There has to be room for our team to hydro-power a hole for the pole that tends to be between 2-4′ wide and 3-10′ deep.  Our initial site survey will give us better clarity about the size and scope of the project, and we’ll be able to provide informed guidance on the best steps forward for your custom pole sign. 

Customizing Your Pole Sign

The size of the pole sign should be proportionate to your location and your business. While we understand the desire to go as big as possible, you also want the sign to look good and make a great impression. 

Suppose a pole sign is comically large compared to your small business or comically small next to a giant warehouse, parking lot, or corporate campus. In that case, it will feel unnatural, which will affect the way consumers view your business.

We’ve fabricated custom pole signs that vary in size from 10′ to our most recent pole sign project – a 25′ pole sign with LED lighting incorporated into the cabinet signs. 

It’s all about balance and proportions, and we’ll help you find that sweet spot.

Environmental Graphic Design for Interior and Exterior Branding

Environmental Graphic Design for Business Signs

Great graphic design will have both motion and emotion. When branding a business, it is important to remember that branding should flow with your location and bring out your brand personality. There is an art to great interior branding. Environmental graphic design is a technique that plays with space and dimension, using colors and texture and your physical location to add dimension and breathe life into your brand. 

Exterior Branding

Exterior branding should set the tone and be the nexus from which all other branding derives. If your interior and exterior branding doesn’t match tone and style, you create a confusing disconnect to consumers.

This sign for Civic Center Plaza is the perfect example of how environmental graphic design will enhance the overall impact of the sign.

A consistent visual from sign to sign, graphic to graphic, inspires confidence and trust.  Great branding should build positive associations with your brand, and visual and emotional consistency is key. 

Interior Branding

Regardless of your industry, interior branding is an essential aspect of creating a great client experience. Interior branding is more than just peppering your logo and slogan all over the office; it’s about creating an ambiance, setting the right tone, and managing client expectations from the moment they arrive.

We often use environmental graphic design when creating large sculptural and architectural signs, but the concept is easily applied to interior branding to great effect.

Environmental Graphic Design

How your signs and graphics flow with your physical location and environment affects your impact on consumers. The art of great signs and graphics is to realize your brand identity in physical form and give it energy and motion. The art of environmental graphic design incorporates architecture, artistry, texture, dimensions, colors, and lighting to capture the essence of your brand and enhance the consumer experience. 

Functional Art

Take charge of the consumer experience with custom interior branding solutions. Work with our team on custom signs and graphics that carry your brand personality and serve as functional art providing essential information and directions to consumers. 

All signs and graphics should be multifunctional and purposeful, consistent in tone, style, and messaging.

What is Neon and How Does It Work  

Neon is a glass tube filled with an inert gas that illuminates when electricity passes through it. Two gases are commonly used: neon, which lights up with a fiery red, and argon, which shines with a bright blue color. Because the glass tube is clear, the characteristic colors emitted by the gas can be seen from the exterior.

For additional hues, fluorescent powders can be painted -or baked- on the inside walls of the glass tube. This way, the light can be transformed into multiple colors such as orange, pink, turquoise, blue, and green; and if the mixture of elements is rearranged, even more subtle differences are possible. As an example, white light can have different color temperatures, ranging from warm to cool.

Types of Neon Signs

We use neon in sign designs in a variety of ways. Our project gallery has many examples of neon signs that we’ve created at BSC Signs.

Exposed neon can be placed within 3D channel letters. It gives a vivid glow to the sign. Here’s an example of exposed neon that adds a nice punch to a monument sign.

Blade signs project from buildings, and can benefit from the use of neon. Sometimes only a neon accent or outline is added, but there’s nothing quite like a full on custom neon sign!

We design neon signs to be highly visible during the day as well. While neon stands out with that magical glow at night, neon signs must be equally effective during daylight hours.
