Spanish term

Cartel frente a la sucursal de un banco

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Finance (general)
Hi, does anyone know a term in English to name the sign at the entrance of a Bank's branch that contains the name of the Bank? I need a term other than "sign", a more specific one if possible.

Thanks!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Well in a quick search on the net I could find "sign" as a suitable term. See link:http://www.signsexpress.co.uk/case-studies/1/business-signs/

Business sign / Retail sign / Exterior sign

It's hard to think of anything better than just "sign," but here are a few options. Suerte.

"Exterior sign" seems to be the best option based on this website: http://banksignage.net/gallery.htm

I suppose "bank sign" or "exterior bank sign" could also be options.

neutral Yvette Neisser Moreno : Sorry to be difficult, but "signage" refers to a group or system of signs, not an individual sign. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/signage
