Blade and Under-Canopy Signs

Blade and under-canopy signs provide high-visibility branding in pedestrian-focused environments, making them ideal for retail districts, mixed-use developments, restaurants, universities, and walkable commercial corridors. Designed to project outward from a building façade or hang beneath an awning or canopy, these signs capture attention from foot traffic and vehicles approaching from narrow viewing angles.

At IdentiCom, we engineer blade and under-canopy signs to be both functional and architecturally aligned with your building. Using durable aluminum construction, precision lighting options, and weather-resistant finishes, we ensure your sign remains bright, legible, and structurally sound for years.

Whether you prefer non-illuminated simplicity or fully illuminated LED faces or halo-lit edges, our team custom-fabricates each sign for your brand, your site lines, and your code requirements. We also handle bracket fabrication, structural supports, and safe, code-compliant installation.

The result: eye-level branding that stands out in busy environments and helps customers find your business quickly and confidently.

A blade sign (also called a projecting sign) is mounted perpendicular to a building façade, extending outward over a sidewalk or walkway. Blade signs are typically double-sided and can be illuminated or non-illuminated depending on design and code requirements.

Blade Signs Are Commonly Used For:

• Downtown storefronts
• Urban retail corridors
• Restaurants, boutiques, and service businesses
• Pedestrian-heavy environments

An under-canopy sign is mounted beneath an overhang, canopy, or covered walkway—typically above pedestrian paths or storefront entrances. These signs are often used in shopping centers and plazas with shared architectural features.

Under-Canopy Signs Are Commonly Used For:

• Strip malls and shopping centers
• Multi-tenant retail developments
• Covered walkways and breezeways
• Properties with strict signage uniformity standards
