Fascia signs are flat signs mounted directly to the front of a building, usually above the entrance or along the storefront. They act as a highly visible branding tool, helping businesses clearly display their name, logo, or message to people passing by. Because fascia signs are attached to the face of a building, they are often the first impression customers get when approaching your business.
In this blog, AGC Signs will explain what a fascia sign is. We will also look at a couple of examples to give you an idea of the different types of fascia signs and their benefits.

Fascia Sign Answers & examples
One of the many styles of AGC’s fascia signs.
I. What is a Fascia Sign?
A fascia sign is often the first thing people notice when visiting your business. Mounted to the front wall, fascia signs typically follow the roofline and span across the width of the building. They can be designed in several ways—attached to a board, built with three-dimensional letters, or even painted directly onto the wall.
These signs are highly customizable to reflect your brand’s image. Many businesses include their name, logo, and even a slogan to communicate products or services at a glance. This not only strengthens brand identity but also helps attract attention, increase foot traffic, and generate more leads and sales.
Next, let’s explore some examples of different fascia signs and the unique benefits they offer.

An illuminated sign for your business maximizes your advertising with the least cost. It instantly captures potential customers' attention, building strong awareness of your brand.
Benefits of Illuminated Fascia Signs
Increased Visibility: Illuminated fascia signs shine brighter than standard signage, ensuring your business stands out both day and night. Whether customers are driving by after sunset or passing in bad weather, the lighting draws attention and keeps your brand front-of-mind.
Energy-Efficient Lighting: Modern illuminated signs often use LED technology, which consumes far less energy than traditional fluorescent or neon lighting. This makes them a cost-effective, eco-friendly choice that lowers operating costs while still delivering brilliant visibility.
Branding Impact: A professionally lit sign doesn’t just improve visibility—it elevates your brand image. Bright, clean lighting makes your storefront look polished, welcoming, and memorable, helping to set you apart from competitors.
24/7 Marketing Power: With illumination, your fascia sign works around the clock. It continuously advertises your business without extra effort, making it one of the most cost-effective long-term marketing tools available.
As part of your marketing strategy, having an illuminated sign is a cost-effective way to advertise your business 24/7, and make it memorable.

Easy Maintenance: If one letter is damaged, it can be replaced individually without the need to redo the entire sign, saving time and costs.
Illumination Options: Channel letters can also be illuminated for maximum impact, with three main lighting styles to choose from:
Front-Lit Channel Letters – Bright and bold, illuminated from the front for maximum visibility.
Reverse-Lit Channel Letters – Create a sophisticated halo effect by lighting from behind.
Open-Face Channel Letters – Offer a striking, vintage-inspired look by exposing the light source.

Fascia signs are the most commonly used signage for commercial businesses. They are a non-intrusive form of advertising, they are functional, and the design options are boundless.
However, there are some considerations to point out before you go ahead and order your fascia sign. Two factors to consider are signage by-laws and the cost of fascia signs.
By-laws

Finding a company with a team of experts who understand by-laws and permits will make it a lot easier for you as you plan your signage project. They will help you choose a sign that meets your local by-laws.
You can google your city’s by-laws regarding signage installation and permits. Alternatively, you can click here to learn more about local city bylaws.
Costs
Another factor to consider is the cost of your signage project. The average price of a quality business sign ranges between $2000 and $3000. Smaller projects may be less while larger projects could be $5000 or more. If you would like more information on assessing the cost of a custom sign project, please take a look at this blog.
