The Vista System Expand Series of sign frames, in addition to being aesthetically pleasing, are also easy to install and update.  Installation of the Vista Expand wall signs is done by simply attaching the main profile to the wall with the screws smartly hidden under the insert sheet.  The sign frames accept digital prints, vinyl and other materials to present updated information.  The replacement process if fast and easy and can be completed on-site with in-house staff.

Vista System double-sided pylon signs are extremely popular and well known for wayfinding.  Often projects call for extra large pylons making the Vista line the most attractive solution available.  Applications are varied from displaying directions outdoors to wayfinding, branding, information, images, instructions and advertising within the complex.

The XL portrait and landscape post & panel signs are often used to display information to the public including orientation maps in the mall, real estate project specification stands, terminal information posts, industrial zone directories and much more.  Because of the modular design, many variations of both types of post & panel signs are possible.

Pylon Signs in Paris!

Pylon SignHere’s a great success story where 100 pylon signs, also referred to as post signs, were recently installed in the UAE for Paris Gallery.  Paris Gallery is a high-end luxury retailer in the Middle East with a premium assortment of over 450 international brands.  They were looking for elegant, illuminated pylon signs to complement the interior design of their stores.

The pylon sign copy changes frequently due to the seasonal and promotional nature of the product line.  Because each pylon sign supports clear covers, the ability to change out the copy is fast and easy.  The client was very pleased with these pylon signs and the flexibility they offered.

This particular pylon sign as shown in the picture is illuminated and double-sided, however pylon signs come in non-illuminated and triangular variations as well.  Some use the terms pylon sign and post sign synonymously because both formats are quite similar.  The main difference between a pylon sign and a post sign is the viewable portion of the post relative to the frame.  Pylon signs tend to encapsulate the post in its entirety or perhaps revealing a small portion of the pole while post signs tend to reveal various degrees of the post itself.

Semantics aside, both pylon signs and post signs accept a wide variety of substrates including paper, plastic, metal, laminates, sublimation and others.  They can be used indoors and outdoors for promotional, informational and wayfinding needs.  As highlighted in this example can acclimate well to very sophisticated environments.

5 Things to Know About Vista Triangular Pylon Signs

Vista Triangular Pylon Signs

What are the five things you should know about Vista triangular pylon signs?

1.  They are great wayfinding signs that can be used as directory signs as well as directional signs.  Because of their modular nature they are, by default, great directional signs.  However, may clients use them as directory signs by creating separation in the graphic inserts versus using individual panel separators.

2.  Vista pylon signs are great for interior signage as well as exterior signage applications.

3.  Like their wayfinding counterparts, pylon signs will support a myriad of substrates.  For indoor signage applications, especially when the sign copy changes frequently, paper or card stock is the preferred choice.  For outdoor signage applications, such as directory signs or directional signs where the sign copy is fairly static, various forms of vinyl, plastic and metal are used.

4.  The pylon signs come in 14 different widths and can be cut to various heights depending on the given sign requirements.  This is particularly advantageous from a wayfinding perspective given the complexity of sign specifications as well as local code restrictions.

5.   Finally, they are eco friendly signs made with eco friendly materials.  Vista’s entire wayfinding line are all eco friendly signs including directory signs, wall signs, table signs and flag signs.  They are made with eco friendly materials, are 100% sustainable and LEED certified.

Vista System wayfinding signs are contemporary with a modern, clean look. They are simple to us and easy to update by yourself.  Most importantly, they are high quality and 100% guaranteed.
