Desi Signs — custom signs made in Edmonton. Design, manufacture, and install.

Blade Signs

Read from
the sidewalk.

A blade hangs perpendicular to the wall so people walking the block see you before they see the fascia.

Blades are for streets where everyone is already looking down the sidewalk — Whyte Avenue, 124 Street, a mall corridor. The fascia can wait.

We size the projection to the bylaw and the awning, then light it if the evening trade matters. Hardware is specified for the wall you actually have.

What we build

Double-face projecting cabinets, dimensional blades, and lit edges when the street goes dark.

Who it is for

Retail, restaurants, and offices on pedestrian streets with a narrow frontage.

How we spec it

Projection, height above grade, and wind load first. Copy second.

Variants

How we
build it.

Lit cabinet

A small box that still reads after sunset without becoming a pylon.

Dimensional

Cut letters or a mark on both faces. Quiet, architectural.

Bracket & wall

The ironwork is part of the drawing. Masonry and ACM get different fasteners.

Mall / arcade

Interior blades with landlord-spec edges and lighting.

Where It Works

Edmonton jobs
this product fits.

Main-street retail

When the fascia is already dense and the walk-by is the customer.

Second-storey entries

A mark that sits in the walking line of sight, not on a distant parapet.

Food and drink

Evening hours. The blade is on when the kitchen is.

Shared frontage

You do not own the whole elevation. You still need a name in the path.
