Blade Signs
In dense urban environments and on busy high streets, relying on frontal signage alone isn’t always enough. Passersby may walk by quickly, distracted by the hustle and bustle around them. To truly capture every potential customer, your brand needs visibility from every angle.
This is where Blade Signs, also known as Projecting Signs, become essential. Mounted perpendicular to your building façade, blade signs extend outwards, catching the attention of pedestrians and drivers approaching from multiple directions. They create instant recognition and make your business stand out, even in crowded streets.
Why Blade Signs Are a Pedestrian Magnet
Unlike standard fascia signage such as Channel Letters or Acrylic Storefront Signs, which require people to look upward, Blade Signs naturally fall within a pedestrian’s direct line of sight. This makes them incredibly effective for attracting attention on busy streets and high-traffic areas.
At SignAndGlow, we design Projecting Signs that help businesses stand out and capture the attention of passersby from multiple directions, turning simple foot traffic into potential customers.
Key Benefits of Our Projecting Signs
Double-Sided Visibility
Every Blade Sign is visible from both directions of the street, effectively doubling your brand exposure and advertising impact.
Smart Use of Space
Blade Signs extend outward from your building, making excellent use of vertical space. This makes them perfect for shops, cafes, and offices with limited storefront width.
Architectural Appeal
A professionally crafted Projecting Sign can enhance your building’s appearance, adding a vintage charm, modern touch, or premium aesthetic that makes your storefront more inviting.

Blade Signs vs. Fascia Signage
While every business needs a primary fascia sign, a Blade Sign fills an important gap in visibility and helps your storefront stand out even more.
Fascia Sign
Fascia signs are ideal for long-distance visibility. They are perfect for displaying your full brand name, logo, and sometimes additional information like your address, making them highly visible from across the street or from passing vehicles.
Blade Sign
Blade Signs are designed for close-range visibility. Positioned perpendicular to the building, they act as a quick visual cue for pedestrians walking along the street. Often featuring a logo, icon, or key product symbol, they help people instantly recognize your business as they pass by.
When used together, fascia signs and blade signs create a complete and highly visible storefront signage system that attracts attention from both far and near.
