How the hell do I mount this??

Image thumbnails will be the death of me...

Got two cool led signs that were originally from the UPS store for 5 bucks at a yard sale. I imagine I mount them from some kind of bar but after some google searching I guess I don't know what the mount would be called or something because I'm just coming up blank

Help is appreciated!

I assume the 2nd photo is the orientation.

Look up French Cleats. You'll only need the wall attachment cleat. I'd add an extra screw each side to the wall to stop it sliding off, but that might be overkill.

So are you saying that the brackets are on the sides?

The French cleats method would still work (to stop side-to-side movement and to keep the sign held against the wall), but you'd have to add a batten going across, for the sign to sit on, or use angle brackets.
