Carrboro Blade Signs — sign format illustration

YOUR CARRBORO PROJECT

A different angle on visibility.

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

Blade Signs:
options to consider.

The sign type is a starting point. The final choice depends on your message, the property and how people will see it.

01

Two-sided faces

Make the name readable from both walking directions with a simple, balanced layout.

02

Dimensional details

Explore layered lettering or a shaped face that supports the brand without sacrificing clarity.

03

Bracket & finish choices

Coordinate the support structure and hardware finish with the building and sign design.

FROM BRIEF TO INSTALLATION

Bring the
right details.

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.

  • Readability along a shared sidewalk
  • A brand presence that fits the frontage
  • Clear entrances, hours and pickup information

BEFORE WE GET STARTED

Carrboro blade signs: useful answers.

Should both sides show the same message?

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.

Can a blade sign be illuminated?

Some designs can include illumination. Weight, electrical routing, maintenance access and site approval need to be reviewed first.
