What are fascia signs?

Fascia signs are one of the most prominent external displays of branding any bricks-and-mortar business can hope for – it’s the literal sign above the door. Featured prominently on all shop fronts (or ‘facias’), a fascia sign is there not just to tell customers they’re in the right place, they’re also able to make a statement about the kind of business you are, and the kind of customers you want.

Because every business is different, the industry has developed a wide variety of solutions that can be used to craft the perfect fascia sign for your brand.

The different types of fascia signage

It will come as no surprise to anyone that commerce dates back to prehistory, but it might shock you that shop signage goes back almost as far, with some exceptionally preserved examples of shop fascia signage still visible in Pompeii. While no modern provider can promise 3000 year lifespans, the modern day has come a long way in the choices of signage on offer – meaning that there is a perfect option for you no matter your requirements.

• Vinyl graphics: – great for high colour lettering and for application on curved fascias or corners, vinyl signs can be flat or layered to give a three dimensional effect.
• Aluminium tray signs: – folded aluminium (Dibond) trays are available in a range of finishes, while the folded edges make for easily concealed installation – they are also among the most durable shop front fascia signs.
• Individual fascia lettering: – this facia type has a traditional, high end feel, but can be modernised using branded colourways and illumination, giving you the best of all worlds, making it one of the most highly customisable fascia signage types, and is available in a range of materials..
• Flat lettering: – as you’d expect, flat lettering is the 2D cousin of individual fascia lettering, allowing you to achieve a similar high-end look for your shop-front. Flat lettering tends to be made from either acrylic or aluminium, which also makes them a durable option.
• Awning signs: – Commonly aluminium, with digitally printed graphics, awning signs are great for making a statement and standing out on a busy highstreet – and, for south facing shop fronts, can also help reduce glare and prevent sun damage to window displays.

Illuminated fascia sign:

There are several varieties of illuminated sign, in combination with each of the above types. One of the most popular choices features embedded lighting in an enclosed tray sign, but there are options available for separate lighting units (for top and bottom lighting) as well as 3D effects and a variety of other ways to bring lettering or logos to life – making sure your business stands out both day and night.
