Squadron Name Signs

A squadron name sign is the routed nameplate that hangs under a unit crest: one name, such as the commanding officer or the officer in charge, cut 6″ × 36″ from 1.5″ HDU (high density urethane) and finished in premium paints. It is $350, and because it is cut from the same material as our squadron crests, the set matches.

About Squadron Name Signs

Most squadron crests hang with nameplates beneath them, and the names change long before the crest does. Ordering the name sign on its own means a unit can add or replace a plate at a change of command without rebuilding the board.

Send us the name and rank as it should read, the colors, and a photo of the crest it will hang under if you have one. We proof the plate back to you at size, and nothing is cut until you approve it.

Need the crest too? See routed squadron signs and the full military unit sign price list. Brand 9 Signs is a registered US government contractor (CAGE 0VVG2) and works consistently for the Government Publishing Office (GPO) and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).

How to order

Call (904) 272-3395 or send us the wording, the size and your colors. Brand 9 Signs has made signs in Orange Park, Florida since 1986.

Squadron Name Signs — frequently asked questions

How big is a squadron name sign?

A squadron name sign is 6 inches tall by 36 inches wide, routed from 1.5 inch HDU (high density urethane) and finished in premium paints. It is $350.

Will a new name sign match our existing crest?

Yes. Name signs are routed from the same 1.5 inch HDU and painted with the same premium paints as Brand 9 squadron crests, so a new plate matches the set. Send a photo of the crest and its colors with the order.

Can we order just one name sign at a change of command?

Yes. Name signs are listed on their own, so a unit can order a single new plate without replacing the crest or the rest of the board.
