Blade & Projecting Signs
Blade and projecting signs are designed to extend outward from a building, placing your brand directly into the viewer’s line of sight. At Rudnick Enterprises, we design, fabricate, and install custom blade and projecting signs that improve visibility, strengthen brand presence, and help customers find your business with ease, especially in pedestrian-heavy areas.
Unlike wall-mounted signage that sits flat against a façade, blade and projecting signs stand out. They are ideal for storefronts where foot traffic, street visibility, and quick recognition matter most. From historic downtowns to modern mixed-use developments, our blade and projecting signs are built to complement architecture, meet local codes, and perform reliably year after year.
What Are Blade & Projecting Signs?
Blade and projecting signs are mounted perpendicular to a building and extend outward so they are visible from sidewalks, streets, and crowded retail environments. While often used interchangeably, blade signs are typically mounted higher on the face, while projecting signs may include decorative brackets or structural supports.
These signs come in a wide range of styles, including:
- Blade signs for retail storefronts and restaurants
- Projecting signs with custom brackets or decorative hardware
- Double-sided signs for maximum visibility from both directions
- Illuminated blade signs for day-and-night exposure
- Non-illuminated signs for historic districts or code-restricted areas
- Custom-shaped signs that reinforce brand identity
Because they sit at eye level and extend into the visual field, blade and projecting signs are especially effective for businesses competing for attention in busy corridors. At Rudnick Enterprises, we design blade and projecting signs that balance visibility, branding, and architectural harmony.
Why Blade & Projecting Signage Matters
A blade or projecting sign does more than display your logo. It actively works to draw people in. These signs have been shown to increase walk-in traffic and brand recognition, particularly in dense commercial areas.
Here’s why businesses choose blade and project signs from Rudnick Enterprises:
