In a city like Boston, where every building has character and every block has history, making your business visible takes more than a nameplate. Blade signs, also called projecting signs, are built to grab attention. Installed perpendicular to your building’s facade, they provide high visibility from both directions along busy sidewalks and streets.
Whether you’re running a coffee shop in Cambridge, a boutique in Beacon Hill, or an office in the South End, a custom blade sign does more than identify your business; it enhances your presence, builds trust, and draws people in.
At TODO, we design and install high-quality custom blade signs throughout Boston. From classic wood signs to illuminated metal displays, our team delivers signage that’s long-lasting, visually appealing, and fully aligned with your brand.

Why Blade Signs Are a Smart Choice in Boston for Businesses
Boston’s walkable neighborhoods and close-set architecture make visibility from the street essential. Blade signs are a perfect fit for this environment. Unlike traditional flat signs, they project outward, increasing the chance of catching the eye of someone passing by.
Whether you’re installing a vertical blade sign in the Seaport, a round blade sign in the North End, or an illuminated option in Back Bay, these signs give your location the visibility and professionalism it needs to thrive.
Blade signs are also ideal for guiding foot traffic, highlighting building access points, and meeting local safety or wayfinding standards.
Types of Blade Signs We Offer
We specialize in a wide variety of blade signs—each tailored to your unique needs, location, and branding.
Illuminated and Lighted Blade Signs
For businesses that need to be seen day and night, we offer LED blade signs, neon blade signs, and other lighted blade sign options. These provide excellent visibility while enhancing the look of your building. We also offer backlit and modern architectural lighting options to create subtle or dramatic effects.
Custom and Dimensional Blade Signs
From wood blade signs with a rustic finish to sleek metal blade signs with clean lines, we offer durable and attractive options for all types of businesses. Choose from round blade signs, vertical blade signs, or custom shapes that reflect your brand identity. Temporary or seasonal needs can be met with our custom blade banners.
Interior Blade Signs
Interior blade signs help visitors navigate your space safely and efficiently. We offer restroom blade signs, fire extinguisher blade signs, caution sharp blade signage for kitchen areas, and knife safety signs for commercial food prep zones. We also fabricate blade exit signs and emergency exit blade signs to ensure code compliance.
Outdoor and Street-Facing Blade Signs
Our exterior blade signs are engineered to handle Boston’s climate while maintaining appearance and functionality. These include projecting signs for commercial buildings, street blade signs for public or private wayfinding, and parking blade signs for designated areas.
Wholesale and Multi-Site Signage
For companies with multiple locations or growing operations, we offer blade signs wholesale with consistent quality, branding, and reliable turnaround. Our team can manage large-scale production and installation for regional rollouts or franchise signage programs.
Mounting, Brackets, and Installation
The hardware behind your blade sign is just as important as the design. We provide the full range of mounting solutions, including custom blade sign brackets and supports designed for both aesthetic and structural performance. Whether it’s a heavy-duty exterior blade sign or a lightweight interior directional sign, we ensure proper alignment, balance, and weather resistance. All installations meet Boston’s safety regulations and building codes.
Blade Sign Cost
The cost of a blade sign varies depending on the materials, complexity, size, lighting, and installation requirements. A simple wood blade sign will generally cost less than a custom illuminated LED sign with integrated mounting hardware.
We provide transparent, detailed quotes upfront so you know exactly what to expect. Small businesses will find budget-conscious options, while larger organizations can benefit from volume pricing for blade signs wholesale. Each quote includes:
