Blade Signs

Stylish Projecting Signs That Grab Attention from Every Angle

Blade signs—also called projecting signs—are mounted perpendicular to your building, making them perfect for downtown storefronts, shopping districts, and areas with heavy foot traffic. At True Aerial Signs, we design, fabricate, and install custom blade signs that combine visibility, branding, and architectural appeal. We serve local businesses throughout Toledo and Northwest Ohio.

What Is a Blade Sign?

 A blade sign extends outward from a building facade, making it visible to pedestrians approaching from both sides of the street. These signs are highly effective in:

  • Downtown districts
  • Outdoor shopping plazas
  • Walkable business corridors
  • Historic or architecturally regulated areas

They can be illuminated or non-illuminated, and mounted to walls, posts, or brackets depending on the setting.

Custom Designed & Fabricated In-House

 Your blade sign is more than just signage—it’s a brand statement. Our design team will help you create a blade sign that fits your building, matches your brand, and meets local codes. We fabricate all signs in-house for fast turnaround and full quality control.

We offer:

  • Flat panel or double-sided cabinet signs
  • CNC-cut aluminum or acrylic faces
  • Decorative brackets and hardware
  • LED edge-lit or backlit illumination
  • Historic district code compliance

We Handle Permits & Installation, Too

 Blade signs often require special permits and structural mounting approval—especially in historic or city center zones. Our team takes care of everything:

  • Sign design and layout
  • Permitting and code compliance
  • Structural mounting hardware
  • Licensed installation
  • Ongoing maintenance (if needed)
