Two-sided faces
Make the name readable from both walking directions with a simple, balanced layout.
CAROLINA SIGNS & WONDERS · CARRBORO, NC
Catch the eye along the sidewalk.
A projecting blade sign addresses a common Carrboro storefront problem: customers walking beside the building cannot easily see lettering mounted flat against it. A concise two-sided identity gives the business a view from both directions.

Blade Signs · Carrboro
Four details to get started. All fields required.
YOUR CARRBORO PROJECT
Treat the bracket as part of the design. Its scale, finish and fixing points should relate to the face and the building rather than looking added on.
A blade sign projects outward from a building so people can see the business while walking along the frontage. It is especially useful when a flat wall sign faces away from the main pedestrian approach. The sign face, bracket and mounting should feel like one architectural detail.
MAKE THE FORMAT WORK FOR YOU
The sign type is a starting point. The final choice depends on your message, the property and how people will see it.
FROM BRIEF TO INSTALLATION
Provide frontage photos, approximate projection and mounting height, wall details and landlord requirements. Pedestrian clearance, attachment strength, wind exposure and approvals shape the final design.

BEFORE WE GET STARTED
Usually a consistent name and logo are easiest to recognize. Keep the layout readable from either walking direction and avoid a different hierarchy on each face.
Some designs can include illumination. Weight, electrical routing, maintenance access and site approval need to be reviewed first.
