What is a blade sign?
A blade sign — also called a projecting sign — mounts perpendicular to the building rather than flat against it, so it’s visible to foot traffic approaching from either direction along a street. It’s the classic laneway café, bar and barbershop move, and it works especially well on narrow footpaths where a flat wall custom signs might not be seen until someone is already level with the shopfront.
- → Non-illuminated blade signs — flat-cut metal or acrylic on a bracket, no wiring required
- → Illuminated blade lightboxes — an internally lit box, visible day and night from both sides
- → Halo-lit blade signs — LEDs behind a cut logo or letters glow against a backing panel
- → Round or shaped blade signs — circular or custom-profile signs mounted on a bracket
From logo file to installed sign in four steps
