Blade signs—also known as projecting or hanging signs—are mounted perpendicular to your building façade or storefront pole. This orientation makes them one of the most effective signage solutions for businesses that rely on foot traffic, street-level visibility, and quick brand recognition.
As a full-service sign company, Signal Signs and Graphics manages every phase of your blade sign project, including design, fabrication, permitting guidance, and professional installation. Our team evaluates your location, signage regulations, budget, and timeline to deliver a durable, code-compliant sign built to perform long-term.
Blade Signs for Businesses of Every Type
Blade signs are highly adaptable and work across retail, restaurants, professional offices, hospitality, and mixed-use developments. They can be mounted to building façades, storefront poles, or architectural brackets and are available in both illuminated and non-illuminated formats.
During your consultation, our team reviews:
- Pedestrian and vehicle sightlines
- Local signage ordinances and mounting restrictions
- Brand guidelines and architectural style
- Daytime vs nighttime visibility needs
This allows us to recommend the most effective blade sign materials, finishes, and lighting options to support your brand and location.
Illuminated Blade Signs for Maximum Visibility
Illuminated blade signs are ideal for businesses open after dark or located in dense retail corridors. Internal or halo lighting improves nighttime visibility while adding a polished, professional appearance that separates your business from surrounding storefronts.
Popular illuminated blade sign options include:
- Aluminum frames with internal LED lighting
- Decorative or rustic metal frames
- Acrylic push-through lettering
- Face-lit or halo-lit designs
Our team engineers each illuminated blade sign for durability, electrical safety, and consistent brightness, ensuring your sign performs reliably in all conditions.
Non-Illuminated Blade Signs That Still Stand Out
Non-illuminated blade signs offer a cost-effective way to improve visibility while maintaining strong visual impact. These signs are typically bracket-mounted and positioned perpendicular to your building, making them easy to see for both pedestrians and passing vehicles.
Non-illuminated blade signs are ideal when:
- Exterior lighting already exists
- Local codes restrict illumination
- A more traditional or minimalist aesthetic is desired
All blade signs from Signal Signs and Graphics are custom fabricated to your brand, size requirements, and budget, with material options selected for long-term outdoor durability.
Blade Signs as Part of a Complete Signage System
Blade signs are often most effective when paired with other exterior and interior signage. Many businesses integrate blade signs with building signs, storefront signs, or dimensional letters to create a cohesive branding system that improves recognition from multiple viewing angles.
Our team helps you determine how your blade sign fits into your overall signage strategy so every element works together to guide customers and reinforce your brand.
