Take a walk down any busy street, and what will be the first thing that meets your eye? Most likely not the front of a building. That is the power of a blade sign.
At Georgetown Sign Company, we design and install custom blade signs that make your business stand out from the sidewalk, across the street, or even from the next block. If you're the owner of a coffee shop, salon, bookstore, or other shop, blade signs make sure people don't walk by your store without looking up.
What is a Blade Sign?
A blade sign is a protruding sign that sticks out from a building, usually aligned at right angles with the wall. They usually come with two sides and hang high enough for pedestrians and drivers to be able to see.
They come in all sizes and shapes, sleek and modern, vintage and classic. And due to their adaptability, they're being used across nearly all industries.
Where Blade Signs Work Best
Blade signs function especially well in busy locations or closely grouped store fronts—places where a wall-mounted sign can get lost in the crowd.
Some of the most popular spots for blade signs
- Historic city center streets lined with side-by-side small businesses
- Shopping centers whose signs should be easily visible from a distance
- Restaurants and cafes that wish to appeal to individuals strolling or driving by
- Boutiques and salons seeking to make a fashion statement and draw attention
If your shop faces the sidewalk and you'd prefer some additional eyes on your store, a blade sign is definitely worth considering.
Blade Sign Options
Every business is unique, and blade signs should be no exception. We help you choose a style that fits your location and tells your story at Georgetown Sign Company.
Common examples are:
- Flat Panel Blade Signs: Simple and cost-effective, with sharp lines and bright colors.
- Dimensional Blade Signs: Offers depth with carved designs or elevated letters.
- Illuminated Blade Sign: Backlit signs or LED signs that glow during the night for 24/7 exposure.
