Flat panel signs can be customized with various colors, graphics, and lettering styles to match the branding of the business.
     

  • Projecting Signs: Projecting fascia signs are mounted perpendicular to the building's facade and extend outward, usually suspended from a bracket or arm. These signs are designed to catch the attention of passersby from different angles and improve visibility from a distance. Projecting signs can be flat panels, dimensional letters, or even custom shapes that feature the business name or logo on both sides.

 

Fascia signs are an effective way to create a strong visual presence for a business, establish brand recognition, and attract customers. The choice of fascia sign type depends on factors such as the desired aesthetics, budget, location, and local signage regulations.
