Blade signs, also known as projection signs, are a type of commercial sign widely used by businesses, due to their incredible potential to attract the attention of customers and passers-by effectively. These signs protrude perpendicularly from the walls of buildings or businesses and, without necessarily being too large, are visible from a considerable distance. You probably knew outdoor blade signs, yet, did you know that they are widely used indoors too? A good example are the wayfinding markers that owners mount perpendicular to the wall to point in the directions the visitors should follow.
At Saul Signs we offer a specialized design and manufacturing service of custom blade signs for all types of establishments, with a wide range of materials and shapes. In addition to being among the clients’ favorites, several of our designers have a predilection for these posters because they have a long and interesting history that we will be talking about at another time.
Pros and Cons of Blade Signs
Without further delay, let’s get to the point. What pros and cons should you consider before making a blade sign?
- Aesthetic Impact: Blade Signs add a unique design element that stands out in the minds of consumers, making the business more memorable and easily identifiable.
- Improved Visibility: By protruding from the building and positioned at an angle, Blade Signs are more visible to both pedestrians and drivers.
- Consistent Identity: By incorporating elements of brand identity into the design, Blade Signs create a coherent and recognizable experience for customers.
- Increased Foot Traffic: Visual appeal and efficient signage can attract more pedestrians to the business, potentially increasing sales.
- High level of customization: They are highly customizable and can adapt to the brand identity and style of any business. This allows businesses to express their uniqueness and appeal to their target audience.
- Regulatory Restrictions: In some areas, there are strict regulations on the size and placement of Blade Signs, which could limit design options. However, this should not worry you, our team knows every detail of the current regulations and will take care of explaining everything and the sign permitting process.
- Continuous maintenance: If it is an outdoor blade sign it will be exposed to the elements, so it may require regular maintenance to make sure it stays in good condition. Same here, we can take care of the regular maintenance of your sign.
