Why a Blade Sign may be beneficial for your company:

• Blade Signs operate in a similar function as a “way-finding” sign. The  sign sticks perpendicularly out from the building – pulling the eye to look at it for navigation. This is beneficial for street traffic to see that your business stands out from the rest luring customers to come inside and see what’s “in store.”

• Blade signs are particularly popular in downtown shopping areas where there is a lot of foot and street traffic.  Blade signs can be designed in various ways, shapes & sizes. Blade signs are typically double sided, and stay consistent with the stores brand identity, look & feel.

• The history of blade signs stems back all the way to the fourteenth century – Blade signs became more elaborate in the 1930s all the way through to the 1960s and have become a cherished vintage part of some older buildings.
