Blade and Under-Canopy Signs
Blade and under-canopy signs provide high-visibility branding in pedestrian-focused environments, making them ideal for retail districts, mixed-use developments, restaurants, universities, and walkable commercial corridors. Designed to project outward from a building façade or hang beneath an awning or canopy, these signs capture attention from foot traffic and vehicles approaching from narrow viewing angles.
At IdentiCom, we engineer blade and under-canopy signs to be both functional and architecturally aligned with your building. Using durable aluminum construction, precision lighting options, and weather-resistant finishes, we ensure your sign remains bright, legible, and structurally sound for years.
Whether you prefer non-illuminated simplicity or fully illuminated LED faces or halo-lit edges, our team custom-fabricates each sign for your brand, your site lines, and your code requirements. We also handle bracket fabrication, structural supports, and safe, code-compliant installation.
The result: eye-level branding that stands out in busy environments and helps customers find your business quickly and confidently.
What Is a Cabinet Sign?
A cabinet sign is an internally illuminated sign cabinet, typically mounted to a building façade or installed as a freestanding unit. Graphics are applied to a translucent face panel, allowing LED lighting to illuminate the message evenly from within.
Cabinet Signs Are Commonly Used For:
Retail storefronts and strip malls
Tenant identification and brand panels
Plazas and multi-tenant shopping centers
High-visibility commercial corridors
Why Businesses Choose Cabinet Signs:
Strong nighttime visibility
Clean, uniform illumination
Durable aluminum construction
Cost-effective for larger sign faces
Cabinet signs are often selected when legibility from a distance and consistent illumination are top priorities.
An under-canopy sign is mounted beneath an overhang, canopy, or covered walkway—typically above pedestrian paths or storefront entrances. These signs are often used in shopping centers and plazas with shared architectural features.
Under-Canopy Signs Are Commonly Used For:
Strip malls and shopping centers
Multi-tenant retail developments
Covered walkways and breezeways
Properties with strict signage uniformity standards
Why Businesses Choose Under-Canopy Signs:
Consistent placement across multiple tenants
Clean integration with building architecture
Strong visibility at pedestrian level
Often required by landlord or design guidelines
Under-canopy signs are frequently part of a coordinated signage program, ensuring visual consistency across an entire property.
