Totem & Pylon Signs
A totem or pylon sign is a free-standing vertical sign built on a steel structure anchored into a concrete foundation, usually double-sided. Royal Reklam manufactures and installs 2 to 8 metre illuminated totems in Samsun, including structural calculation, foundation works and electrical supply.
A façade sign is only visible from directly in front of the building. A totem is what makes a driver, a passer-by on the opposite pavement, or someone pulling into a car park notice you from hundreds of metres away.
A totem is closer to a structure than a sign: it needs a steel frame sized for wind load, a reinforced concrete foundation at the right depth and proper earthing. We deliver totems complete — structural calculation, foundation and electrical infrastructure included.
Double-sided construction is our standard so both directions of traffic can read it. For multi-tenant buildings we design a modular cassette system: when a brand changes, only that cassette is swapped rather than the whole totem.
