In Louisiana, they have something they call Lagniappe-that little something extra. I believe that is a great definition for a Blade sign. Defined as a type of projecting sign mounted on a building facade, storefront pole or attached to a surface perpendicular to the normal flow of traffic, they are used as a stand alone sign or in addition to the main storefront sign. As a preferred vendor for Katy Mills Mall in Katy, Texas, each tenant space is required to have a blade sign so we are very familiar with them. Let’ s discover some of the benefits of the Blade sign and how it can help drive more traffic to your storefront.
Blade Sign Benefits
- Due to their projecting nature, they offer views from both sides perpendicular to the storefront or location they are installed. It is viewed in different directions unlike the storefront sign which is seen when looking more directly at the building.
- Their high visibility is great for locations that have a lot of foot traffic. Some examples would be in a shopping mall or downtown areas.
- They can be lit or non lit and offer versatility in design to the elaborate, modern or simple style
- They are easily fabricated
- They can be small or large, highly detailed or basic so all budgets are represented
Examples

Here are some pictures I took when the Front Row Signs team took a business trip to a sign convention in Nashville, Tennessee. I really love the historic downtown areas that showcase these one of a kind signs. I can see why it is compared to Las Vegas!
