Pylons and Totems – How to Showcase Your Brand Right From the Entrance

In modern urban spaces, it’s increasingly common to see that company headquarters or industrial zones feature more than standard, ordinary signboards with a logo. Pylons and totems – the subject here – are becoming modern showcases that not only inform but also build a brand’s image from the very first moment someone enters a company’s premises.

So why is it worth investing in pylons and totems? And what makes these structures more than just “ordinary signs”? Let’s find out!

Unique Design and Materials – Stand Out From the Start


When you think of an “entrance sign,” you probably envision a classic board with a company name. But modern pylons and totems take it a step further. Designed with unconventional shapes and unique materials in mind, they stand out against template solutions.

Each project is tailored to reflect the character of your brand. Visual identity is more than just a logo – it’s about creating the first impression. Pylons act as “welcoming ambassadors,” immediately communicating the solidity, professionalism, and uniqueness of your business.


Solid Construction That Lasts for Years


A company’s showcase must not only look good but also be reliable. Our pylons and totems are supported by internal steel structures that can be firmly anchored in the ground, ensuring durability for years to come. By using weather-resistant materials and carefully chosen finishes, these structures are durable, sturdy, and... simply beautiful.

Regardless of the weather, a pylon remains an impeccable element of your brand’s image.

Illumination Effect – Your Brand Visible at Night


Illuminated pylons are a true hit. When the day ends and the surroundings sink into dusk, subtle lighting brings your pylon back to life. Lighting accentuates the structure's shapes and highlights key elements of your message while adding a modern touch.

Thanks to this, your company is visible at all times of the day and night, and your brand gains a professional and contemporary image in the eyes of customers.


Flexible Solutions – Because Every Company is Different


No two companies are identical, so the pylons we create are individually tailored to your needs. Whether you need a large, double-sided pylon by the main road or a smaller totem helping visitors find their way – we can deliver it for you.

With design flexibility and customization options, we are not limited to a single formula. Your brand is unique, and we help you emphasize that.

An Element of Space That Builds Brand Image


Pylons and totems are more than just informational tools – they are an integral part of the surroundings. When designing them, we ensure they harmonize with the space while attracting attention and building positive associations.

Imagine guests arriving to see a modern structure – solid, aesthetically pleasing, and well-thought-out. What will they think about you? Probably that you care about details and are a company worth trusting.


Your Pylon – Your Showcase


Pylons and totems are more than place markers. They are a way to showcase your brand and make it stand out from the competition. Solid structures, aesthetic execution, illuminated effects, and design flexibility – all of this makes a pylon a true showcase for your business.

If you want your company to impress from the entrance, choose modern pylons and totems. It’s an investment in how your brand is perceived – today and for many years to come.

Neon Semaphore Lidl - Pretende Warsaw

Design and construction of a traditional neon sign for the LIDL retail chain

We recently had the opportunity to participate in a fascinating project, which will certainly remain in our memories for a long time. It concerns the design and execution of a double-sided neon sign in the shape of the 'Lidl' logo and the word 'Welcome' on the façade of a shop for a well-known German shop chain, which opened its next branch in Warsaw on Tamki Street. Why was this project special for us? Well, designing and creating neon signs is not only our job, but also our passion. We have been doing this for years, and it started with learning about the history of creating traditional glass neon signs and falling in love with this unusual craft. This time we were able to design and make a traditional neon, double-sided perpendicular semaphore one of a kind!


1960s-style neon sign for Lidl


Working on this project brought us great satisfaction, especially as the result is truly unique. Our neon sign not only reflects the Lidl logo, but also alludes to the aesthetics of the communist era. You will not find another one like it in Poland, or even in the whole world! This one is one of a kind, as it is made of original hand-moulded glass neon. The colour scheme of the sign has been carefully thought out and harmonises perfectly with Lidl's visual identity. The neon double-sided semaphore mounted perpendicular to the façade has impressive dimensions — 1.5 m × 1.5 m — making it highly visible and eye-catching. The design and personalisation of this neon sign was cautious, capturing the spirit of the 1960s with a modern twist. We went to a lot of trouble to ensure that the double-sided perpendicular neon semaphore blends harmoniously with the architecture of the building, creating a coherent entire. In addition to the neon Lidl logo, we also made the spatial neon sign 'Welcome'. It was a big challenge, but the effort paid off, and the result meets the highest quality standards.


We made no secret of the fact that we were working under a lot of time pressure. The shop had a strict opening date, which introduced a certain amount of nervousness.

Nevertheless, we managed and can now rejoice in our joint success. We are proud that such a reputable company as Lidl trusted the Pretende brand. For years, we have been recognised on the market all over Poland and have successfully carried out various sign commissions.


The greatest reward after a completed project is always positive feedback from the client. In this case, there was no shortage of praise and words of appreciation. Such feedback gives a great sense of satisfaction and fulfilment, which drives me to take on more challenges. We look to the future with this attitude. We are ready for new projects for the 21st century.


The remarkable story of traditional neon signs


Creating traditional neon signs is a true art that requires precision, skill, and patience. The process began with design, where the creator would prepare an accurate drawing of the lettering or graphics in actual size. This was followed by the bending of glass tubes, made from sodium or borosilicate glass. The tubes were heated over a gas burner until they became flexible, and the craftsman manually formed them into the correct shapes according to the design. Once formed, the tubes were thoroughly cleaned inside to remove any impurities. The next stage was to fit electrodes to the ends of the tubes, which were then connected to a vacuum pump. This removed the air from inside the tube, creating a vacuum, after which the tubes were filled with a suitable gas, usually neon (which gives a red light) or argon (which gives a blue light). Once filled, the tubes were sealed and tested for leakage and proper illumination. The finished neon tubes were mounted on special frames or panels using acrylic brackets and insulators, then installed at the target site and connected to a transformer that provided the correct voltage to power the neon lights.


Thanks to the precision and dedication of craftsmen at every stage, traditional neon signs became a popular advertising element and aesthetic symbol of the 20th century, and now, thanks to new design possibilities, neon signs are thriving into the futurism of the 21st century. And this is our goal — Pretende is growing and taking on more and more new challenges, and the greatest reward for us are orders from well-known and reputable companies because they testify to the trust we have earned with our presence on the market for many years. Thank you!

Projektowanie w pełni zgodnych, świetnie wyglądających znaków, tabliczek z alfabetem Braille'a

Designing fully compliant, great-looking signs, braille plaques

When it comes to signage, it's important to strike a balance between compliance and aesthetics. At Pretende, we specialise in designing signs, placards that are not only fully compliant but also visually appealing.


Background design gallery


If you would like to personalise your Braille signs, we offer a background design gallery that allows you to choose from many options. This gallery includes various designs, colours, and textures that can enhance the visual appeal of the signs. By deciding a background design that matches the overall theme of your facility, together with us, you can create a cohesive and professional look for your building signage.


Custom sizing and personalisation 


In addition to the design options mentioned above, we also offer the option to customise the size of braille signs. This ensures that the sign fits perfectly in the designated area and is clearly visible to people who use Braille to navigate.
In addition, we offer the option of adding your inscription, logo, or company image to the sign. This personalisation not only adds a unique touch, but also helps to reinforce the brand identity in the workplace.


The art of designing signage, braille signs


Designing braille signage involves many considerations, our expert design team takes every factor into account. From the outset, we ensure that the graphics meet all braille signage compliance standards while maintaining an attractive appearance.


The process


Our process for creating Braille signs involves several stages to achieve the desired results: To make our signs accessible to the visually impaired, we use Braille lettering. Using a computerised drill, we make precise holes in the background of the sign. The depth of these holes is crucial and requires meticulous calibration. Once the holes have been drilled, small plastic beads are inserted using a special tool, creating a convex text in Braille.


On which side of the door is the Braille signage placed?


When it comes to placing a braille sign next to a door, there are many factors to consider. The recommended location of the braille sign is on the side of the door latch where the door handle is located. This is the side where people enter the room, making it the most logical place for the sign.


To ensure accessibility for all users, it is important to allow users in wheelchairs or with different abilities to safely approach and interact with the sign without the door swinging open and causing any obstruction.


However, if there is not enough space on the latch side of the door, the sign should be placed in the nearest accessible location. It is significant to avoid placing the sign too far away from the door, as it may become disconnected and cause confusion for users trying to locate the sign.


For doors that open inwards, the sign can be placed directly on the door. This is permitted to prevent potential hazards to visually impaired users. Placing the sign on the door when it swings outwards may pose a risk of hitting the user in the face when trying to read the sign at close range.


Ensuring compliance, standardising signage for the blind


While we encourage creativity and personalisation, we understand the importance of adhering to the guidelines of specific standards for the blind. Our team of experts will work closely with you to ensure that your custom braille sign meets all requirements. This includes the correct placement and size of braille dots, the use of appropriate colours and contrasts and the inclusion of tactile elements.
By combining our expertise with your vision, we can create a custom braille sign that not only meets the needs of the visually impaired, but also enhances the accessibility and inclusivity of your facility.


Finishing


To complete the braille sign, we apply double-sided tape to the back for easy installation. The sign then undergoes a thorough cleaning and inspection before being carefully packaged for shipment.
If you have a braille sign design in mind, we are happy to help. Our team at Pretende is dedicated to creating fully compliant, visually appealing signs, braille signs that make a lasting impression on their users.

It is visible during the day, regardless of the prevailing weather conditions (precipitation, fog, cloudy sky), as well as at night, when the surroundings are plunged into darkness. It also stands out thanks to the light indoors. Brightened logotypes, slogans or characteristic elements of the given data brands, which are additionally produced in accordance with the visual identification company, are remembered by recipients and unintentionally activate in the future with simple associations.


Where and what light advertising to use?


The answer is simple: it depends! Which type and location of light advertising will work best for your brand defines a few elements and it is dependent on:


  • the business you create,
  • the industry in which you run your company,
  • the goal you want to achieve,

Oznakowanie budynków mieszkalnych - jak wykonać je ze sztuką?

SIGNAGE OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS - HOW TO MAKE THEM WITH ART?

Signage of residential buildings helps you find a property quickly and efficiently but it can also be a visual and eye-catching addition. In this article you will read how to correctly mark a residential building (and not only) and how to choose the right graphic elements. Guidelines for the marking of residential buildings can be found in the geodetic and cartographic law.



SIGNAGE OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS - WHY IS IT WORTH DOING IT RIGHT?
Correct marking of a residential building is a convenience not only for family or friends, but also, above all, for emergency services, when in life or health threatening situations seconds count. Clear and visible marking of the building will make it easier for an ambulance or fire brigade to find it. A well-marked property is also a landmark for third parties who get lost or need help. It is worth remembering and immediately after receiving the decision on assigning the numbering - place it on the building, according to the relevant rules.


MARKING OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS - RULES
The building number along with the name of the town or street should be mounted on the front of the property from the street or access road to the building. In the event that it is located deep inside the property, the marking must also be placed on the gate or fence. Designations of residential buildings should therefore:
●    stand out from the facade (the material and colours play an important role here),
●    be legible and visible from a distance (it is worth remembering about the appropriate size of markings);
●    be visible after dark (backlight is necessary).


Informational elements are supposed to be useful above all. However, practicality should be combined with aesthetics. In accordance with the architecture, each project should be approached holistically and individually. Therefore, it is worth choosing the elements of the visual system, among others, in accordance with the architecture of the property. What will work in a block of flats will not fit in historic tenement houses. The owner of a single-family home who is responsible for only one building can choose any style of signage. However, in the case of larger projects, e.g. housing estates or modern blocks of flats, the developer should plan the marking much earlier and more carefully. Thanks to this, he can adjust them to the style and vision of the entire estate, thus increasing its aesthetics and using this element as an asset in sales.



MARKING OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS AND THEIR APPEARANCEIn addition to being distinctive in the background of the real estate, all markings should be selected so that they blend in with the architecture of the building, and even with the surroundings. If the idea of a single-family housing estate is to maintain cohesion with nature, and there are wooden inserts on the facade (pillars, shutters, etc.), you can consider elements made of the same material when marking. In modern buildings, metalwork will work, and in the case of historic tenement houses, rustic building markings will fit in. The choice of materials and solutions is huge, so it's worth matching them together. In creating a project related to the visual identification of buildings, an advisor will help, who will easily select the solutions best suited to a specific case.



MARKING OF THE APARTMENTS
The owner of an apartment building should take special care of accurate and legible marking. The building number, street name or proper name must be visible from a distance, regardless of the prevailing weather conditions. It is also worth focusing on a clear internal marking. In the lobby or at the reception, it is worth finding a place to put the general name of the entire facility, and in the corridors, precisely mark the directions of movement towards individual premises. It is also important to remember to mark elevators, communication routes, evacuation routes or storeys in staircases. These are minor elements, but it is worth taking care of them since they are a great help allowing users to easily move around the building.


MARKING OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS
Public utility buildings are places that should be particularly well marked. It is hard to imagine a visit to a clinic or hospital without descriptions of offices, rooms or entrances to individual buildings. It is a necessity and facilitates the functioning of both patients and specialists. The same applies to schools, universities, banks, museums and sports facilities. Although they will consist of different rooms, it is necessary to mark all of them in a very clear and, above all, in a logical way. All information boards should be made in the same style, possibly adapted to specific buildings. You can then designate individual colour or graphic elements that, on the one hand, would be consistent with the entire project, and on the other, would perfectly indicate where the user is.


In the case of public buildings, external markings are used, i.e.:


● property number and street name,
● proper name of the property,
● markings of individual entrances
● boards informing about which rooms or offices are located in particular places.


Internal labeling applies to:
● offices and study rooms,
● reception,
● check-in desk,
● halls,
● branches,
● conference rooms,
● toilets,
● elevators
● or storeys.



What these rooms will be depends on the purpose of the building. A good solution is also the marking of ground-floor sites. They will protect users and create a more intimate atmosphere, but also inform from the outside what is in individual premises.



HOTEL SIGNAGE
Hotels and tourist facilities should be visible from a distance. In this case, it is worth focusing on distinctive signage, totems, neon signs, Led letters and other elements related to light advertising. However, hotel facilities should especially take care of an internal, consistent style suited to the character and vision of the brand. In such places, you can not forget about marking the reception, restaurants, conference rooms, rooms for guests, playrooms, spas or swimming pools. Markings should be visible and legible, and guests should be able to easily find the location they are interested in after reading them. The entire creation must also take into account the principles of fire protection and occupational health and safety.



HOW DO WE WORK?
When creating a concept for marking residential buildings, public buildings or hotels, it is important to maintain logic and consistency. Properly selected and made elements have an informative function, but they are also an interesting element that visually enriches the property. Our specialists, thanks to many years of experience, pay great attention to every detail, but they are also able to match individual elements (materials, colours, design, size) so that they form a harmonious whole. In each project we carry out, we also mark the technology in which the markings will be made, and we coordinate the entire project and its implementation. We focus on quality and creativity, because we are aware that all elements of building marking must retain their unique appearance and long-term durability as long as possible.

Amerykański styl w reklamie - czym się wyróżnia i jak go wykorzystać w promocji firmy?

American style in advertising - what makes it stand out and how to use it to promote the company?

Flashy, colourful neon lights, symbols and eye-catching bright graphic elements - these are the distinguishing features of the American style, which reigned in the United States in the 1950s. It was an expression of fascination with the future and the cosmos, as well as a reflection of the positive mood prevailing in the society at the time. And although this enthusiastic era has long passed, the American style still fascinates and finds itself well in the advertising market.

Undoubtedly, if we want to stand out from the competition, it is a style that is worth being inspired and used to promote the brand. Especially if you belong to people who focus on individualism, and courage and creativity are their middle name.


 


American-style light advertising - where does the idea come from?


The style in question is a combination of flashiness, colours and shapes that attract attention from the distance. That was the purpose of mid-twentieth-century American signs. They invited people to roadside bars, restaurants and motels. They indicated specific points with large arrows, symbols and lights. They surprised with their futuristic appearance, but on the other hand they blended in perfectly with the so-called Googie architecture. If you are looking for references in culture, the second part of the movie "Back to the Future" can be mentioned, in which the main character goes back in time to a town full of neon lights and enjoys a classic "milkshake" in a pastel bar. From fairy-tale references, "The Jetsons" fit perfectly into this style, delighting with a futuristic vision of a city in the clouds. It is a style that was ahead of its time, attracted attention and allowed to break the standards prevailing at the time. Today, it is being rediscovered in various industries. Among other things, due to its uniqueness, but also partly due to the fascination with what fits into the vintage trend.


 


American style in a modern edition


Although it seems that the American style is glamorous and exaggerated, it undoubtedly attracts attention. In our projects, we get the best out of it. We get inspired and we always try to adapt to the client's visual identification. This style is characterised by its individuality, which is influenced by the fact that the first designs are always made by hand. We have launched a new, special production line to produce these non-standard signs. Thanks to this, we are the only company in Europe that specializes in creating creative advertising in the American style.


 


What distinguishes the American style in light advertising?


There is no question of minimalism and simplicity in this light advertisement. Here, a multitude of elements are in the lead, well matched to each other, distinguishing and at the same time complementing each other. Therefore, we find here:


  • colour - bright colours, clear, but also often combined with pastels,
  • graphic symbols - arrows, geometric figures, stars, hands pointing in the direction,
  • light bulbs - like in wardrobes from old movies,
  • neon signs - swirls made of glass forming names, slogans or slogans,
  • forms and shapes - flat surfaces, wavy surfaces, transparency or sheet metal colored bases of letters and symbols.

Without a doubt, there is a lot going on in these signs. Just like the brands they represent.


 


Down with minimalism - we will find a golden mean


The secret of a good American-style light advertisement is to match it perfectly to the surrounding space and find the golden mean in its design. Therefore, as in the case of any project, talking to our advisor is essential. Any abstraction and exaggeration can be framed, and our technology allows us to create the most diverse ideas of our clients and create their own American Dream.

How does Neon work?

 


Neons play a significant role nowadays. They are visible in the streets of big cities, small towns and villages. These neon lights can take the form of artistically curved shapes and letters. They add a colourful, glowing effect to each item that is made of them. A glowing logo, banner, sign on a restaurant, cinema or clothing store attract the attention of passers-by and encourage them to use the services or make pur-chases. Neon lights are an eye-catching idea that has been perfect for the advertis-ing industry from the very beginning.


The beginnings of the neon career


The very word "neon" is derived from the word "neos" and means "new gas". Neon occurs naturally in the atmosphere, but in negligible amounts. Neon gas was dis-covered in 1898 by William Ramsay and Morris Travers. However, it was George Claude who was the first to create the neon. He combined electric gases and then passed an electric current through them. The result of this experiment was dis-charge, visible in different colours. When the neon maker realized that glass tubes can be twisted in different ways, into different positions, he took part in an exhibition in Paris in 1910. It was the beginning of the glory of neon lights.


What is neon? How is it made?


Neon lights are glass tubes filled with inert gases. This fact means that the neon lights do not react with other chemicals. As soon as the gas fills the tube, several electrodes are connected to the end, at which point the energy transported by the volts contributes to the boiling of the atoms inside the gas.


What is the process of making neon lights?


The very process of creating neon lights consists of several significant steps and is a time-consuming and long-term process. As the first step, we always choose the project that we want to create. The next step is to print it on white, fireproof paper, on which we carefully mark the places where the material will need to bend. Then we can start shaping our tubes. This process takes place at a temperature of 800 ° C - 900 ° C, which is possible thanks to a tool called a ribbon burner. As soon as the glass becomes soft, and this happens after approximately 30 seconds, it is time to bend the glass to the desired shape. Then, after the melting and bending process, we start joining the electrodes at the end of each tube. Now we're hitting each of the tubes with a 20,000 volt electron bombarder. Towards the end, we must not forget to inject the gas used to make the element, and then we must stick the neon to another element made of wood or plastic. What else needs to be done? Turn on the light and enjoy the completed task. This is the last stage that allows us to verify the order we have made.


What colour is the neon?


Classic real neon is orange-red in colour. Red is visible in its pure form and in a transparent glass tube. Neon, whose colour is not classic red, informs us that it does not contain gas neon. It is generally known that noble gases glow in their own col-our when exposed to high voltage. So helium glows pink, krypton turns yellow-green, xenon turns lavender, and argon then turns light blue. Radon is also a noble gas, but it is the only one that does not react to electricity by shining with colour, and thus it is the only noble gas not used in neon.



More neon shades can be obtained by applying a variety of glass coatings that are used for the pipes. Therefore, when switched off, neon lights are white or colourful - in the latter case they are coloured. When delving further into the topic of neon col-ours, it is worth noting that classic red and classic blue neon are made of transpar-ent glass and, respectively, neon glass, as well as argon. However, all other colours can be obtained by manipulating the glass using fluorescent powders such as pink, purple or green neon as well as by tinting the glass.


Neon is an art in itself


Ever since the nineteenth century, neon lighting has spread around the world, many artists have become interested in its use in art. Neon lights began to be used in movies, TV programs and in modern art. Julia Bickerstaff, a famous neon design-er, has gained great popularity in the world. She made signs for Star Trek movies and for the famous hotel in Dubai. Bruce Nauman is another famous personality, a veteran among neon artists. He created dozens of designs and collections that he presented as his art in renowned, famous museums around the world.


Neons are certainly more than just "lights". It is real art, which nowadays also occu-pies an excellent position in the advertising industry.
