First Things First – What Is a Blade Sign?

In a nutshell, a sign which is attached to the façade, or pole, or your storefront strictly perpendicular to the traffic flow is called a blade sign. Such placement makes it almost impossible for people to miss this hanging outdoor sign, which is why these signs are considered to be extremely useful when it comes to attracting people.

And What Is a Swing Sign?

The only difference between a blade sign and a swing sign is the way the sign is attached. While the blade sign just hangs on a pole, the swing sign represents a poster holder or a graphic panel that is fixed to the hinges on the frame. The construction allows the swing sign to move in the windy environment, making it the perfect eye-catcher.

Once Again, What Are the Main Difference Between Hanging Business Signs?

To sum up and to be perfectly clear on custom hanging signs, blade signs generally hang down on a pole horizontally. The pole is attached to another vertical pole, or to the wall, or to the storefront. Swing signs usually have static poles or bars, and the poster is – surprise – free to swing.

If you feel that you would like to create your own custom outdoor hanging sign, Fortuna Visual Group is always happy to answer all of your questions or help you out with a quote.

Types of Hanging Business Signs

There truly are a lot of different types of custom outdoor hanging signs in New York including round blade sign, wood blade sign, illuminated blade sign, custom metal hanging signs, exterior hanging signs, swing sign, restroom blade signs, swinging shop signs, blade exit signs, and many more! Let’s take a closer look at the most popular signage types:

  • Round blade sign. Standard blade sign with a round form
  • Wood blade sign. Such custom outdoor hanging signs are specifically made of wood, which creates an absolutely unique look.
  • Illuminated blade sign. One of the most beautiful types of hanging business signs; as the contour of the sign, or the letters, or logo is illuminated by LED lamps.
  • Swinging shop signs. Somewhat like the combination of a blade sign and a swing sign, it is attached to a horizontal pole, but the sign itself is fixed to the hinges. Wind can make the sign swing, drawing more attention, and creating more of a mysterious look.
