A petrol station pylon sign needs to do more than show a logo. Drivers must quickly see the brand, check fuel prices, and notice useful promotions.
For this BP project, the design brings all three functions into one roadside sign. First, the large BP panel builds clear brand recognition. Then, the LED price displays show changing fuel prices. Finally, the P5 screen gives the station extra space for promotional content.
Project Overview
The sign face measures about 114 inches wide and 71 inches high. The layout separates fixed branding on the left from digital information on the right.
| Sign Area | Configuration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Brand Panel | Large BP logo | Brand recognition |
| Fuel Price Area | Two LED price rows | Show fuel prices |
| Payment Message | BPme / Visa panel | Promote payment options |
| Digital Screen | P5 full-color LED screen | Show promotions |
| Lower Panel | BP gasoline graphic | Support brand identity |
As a result, drivers can understand the sign quickly without too many messages competing for attention.
A Clear Visual Order
The left side focuses on BP branding. Meanwhile, the right side carries the changing information.
The reading order stays simple:
Brand → Fuel Price → Promotion
This order matters because drivers often have only a few seconds to view a roadside pylon. Therefore, a strong visual hierarchy makes the sign easier to read.
In addition, the layout prevents the promotional screen from taking attention away from the fuel prices.
Why the Fuel Price Rows Use Different Sizes
The two price rows use different digit heights. The top row uses larger digits, while the second row uses slightly smaller ones.
Because of this, drivers notice the main fuel price first.
Digit size should also match the site. For example, road speed, viewing distance, traffic direction, and the number of fuel grades all affect readability.
A larger digit does not always create a better sign. Instead, the right size should help drivers read the price quickly without making the layout look crowded.
Why Add a P5 LED Screen?
The P5 LED screen gives the station another way to communicate with drivers.
For example, the station can display:
- Loyalty offers
- Payment promotions
- Seasonal campaigns
- Convenience store offers
However, the digital screen should not compete with the fuel price area. In this design, the screen sits below the price displays and keeps a clear distance from the main pricing information.
As a result, the station gains more advertising space while keeping fuel prices easy to find.
Built as One Sign System
The branding panel, LED price modules, and P5 display work together as one pylon system.
Therefore, the cabinet needs enough internal space for wiring, power supplies, controllers, and service access.
The design also needs easy access to the digital components. For example, technicians should reach the LED modules and controllers without removing large parts of the sign.
In addition, planning the electronics before fabrication helps reduce maintenance problems later.
What Works Well in This Design?
The main strength of this BP petrol price pylon sign comes from its simple structure.
The BP logo stays easy to recognize. At the same time, the fuel prices remain easy to find. The promotional screen also gets its own clear area.
Overall, this layout gives the station more digital content without making the roadside sign feel overloaded.
For stations replacing an older price sign, this approach can also create a cleaner and more flexible roadside identity.
FAQ
Can the fuel price layout change for different stations?
Yes. We can adjust the number of price rows, digit size, fuel grades, and price format for different project needs.
Can the pylon have two display sides?
Yes. A double-sided design helps stations reach traffic coming from both directions.
Can the P5 screen run separately from the fuel price display?
Yes. The P5 screen can show promotions while the LED modules continue to display fuel prices.
Custom Petrol Price Pylon Signs
Grandview manufactures custom gas station pylon signs, LED gas price displays, and integrated digital signage for fuel station projects.
Depending on the project, we can adjust the branding layout, fuel price format, and digital display configuration to match different site needs.
