What is a Blade Sign?

Blade signs, also known as projecting signs, change the game with how your business name is seen through your storefront. Rather than signage being mounted directly on the face of a building, blade signs are projected perpendicularly at a 90-degree angle. They easily capture the attention of potential customers and passersby, as they make a great directional tactic. Creating a custom blade sign is a unique and chic advertisement for your business, especially if you’re tucked away from a main street.

Traditional Blade Signs vs. Ceiling Blade Signs

Both traditional blade signs and ceiling blade signs aim to achieve visibility, but are different in placement and purpose. Traditional blade signs are mounted perpendicular to a building’s exterior near its entrance. This is especially ideal for catching the eye of passersby and adding a special charm to their community. They’re typically made from more durable materials like aluminum, wood, or steel to withstand general wear and tear, and may even be illuminated for nighttime crowds.

Traditional Ceiling

On the other hand, ceiling blade signs hang from ceilings, commonly used in malls or office buildings to direct visitors to specific areas. These are often made from materials like acrylic or vinyl and are usually illuminated for better visibility.

Benefits of a Blade Sign

With a unique history, blade signs have remained an iconic choice to market a business. With their flexible customization and branding, they offer a distinct visibility that traditional signage lacks. Whether you incorporate a bold logo or LED lights with stylish materials, we help you express your brand’s identity hassle-free.

Blade signs are highly customizable when it comes to materials, mounting style, color, illumination, and graphics.

Blade signage practically doubles visibility when your logo is on both sides of the signs and is effective at drawing in foot traffic.

Blade signs are already unique, so when a business customizes theirs, they bring their branding to life and add personality to the neighborhood.
