English term or phrase: blade sign
Veel context kan ik hierbij jammer genoeg niet geven. Het komt voor in een tabel, waarbij het onderscheid gemaakt wordt tussen een "brand sign" en een "blade sign". Voor "brand sign" dacht ik aan "merkbord", maar met "blade sign" heb ik iets meer moeite. "Metalen bord" misschien?

Dank bij voorbaat voor jullie hulp.

Explanation:
'A hanging sign or blade sign is a wall sign. A hanging sign is suspended from a simple bracket attached to a building wall and requires 8 or more feet of vertical clearance from the ground. It is most appropriately used along pedestrian-oriented streets to identify attached or closely spaced shops, restaurants, and service businesses. Only one hanging or blade sign is permitted per building or business bay (in a multi-tenant building) (...) ' (ref. 1, met tekening).

'Blade Signs are customized bracket mounted signs that are generally pedestrian oriented. They have a perpendicular orientation to the building, which creates outstanding visibility to vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Since wall signs are flat against the wall, perpendicular blade signs are very complementary and effectively advertise to those without the ability to look directly at a wall sign.' (ref. 2, met foto's)
