wall signs

Mounted display messages

Wall signs are signs designed to be mounted on or hung from walls, typically for business identification, wayfinding, or decoration.

The term appears most often in commercial contexts—retail signage, office directories, safety notices—but extends to decorative plaques in homes: She picked up some rustic wall signs at the craft fair.

Distinguished from freestanding signs or window displays.
