What is a sign with a hanging exterior blade?
A hanging exterior blade sign is a classic and very visible way to advertise that is attached to the side of a building with a metal bracket or decorative arm. This kind of sign sticks out from the wall so that people walking by can see it from both sides.
Hotels, boutique shops, cafés, restaurants, and businesses on narrow streets or in historic areas where front-facing signs alone may not be enough often use blade signs.
Choices of Materials and Design
Hanging blade signs are made from strong materials that can handle being outside and look good in any setting.
Here are some common materials and design choices:
Panels for metal signs (steel or aluminum)
Finishes that are painted or coated
Graphics on one side or both sides
Chains and brackets made of metal that look nice
Depending on the needs of the brand, the sign panel can be round, oval, rectangular, or any other shape.
Impact on Branding and Visibility
Blade signs stick out from the building, so they can be seen from many different angles.
Some important benefits of visibility are:
Easy to spot from a distance
Clear recognition in areas where people walk
Looks classic and elegant
Works well with old buildings
Blade signs work especially well for small businesses and hotels.
Putting it up and using it outside
Hanging exterior blade signs are meant to be put up outside for good. For safety and long life, the wall structure must be right and the mounting hardware must be secure.
Common places to install are:
Entrances to hotels
Streets and historic districts in the old town
Stores and boutiques on the street
Cafés and small businesses
Installation doesn’t require major changes to the façade, just secure mounting.

Some features that make it last are:

Needs very little maintenance
For long-term safety, it is best to check things visually on a regular basis.
