A wind resistant sign has a frame with vertical supports that are joined and held parallel with respect to each other by a top crossmember and a lower crossmember. The crossmembers and supports form an enclosed area that surrounds a panel. The panel is connected to the frame through pivots that extend into a channel in the panel. The pivots are located closer to the top crossmember and allow the panel to pivot when wind or other forces apply force to the panel. When the force is removed, the panel returns to a vertical orientation. The frame can be driven into the ground to support the frame. The panel is installed on the pivots by bending it to allow the edge to clear the terminal end of the pivot. An optional stiffener can be inserted into one of the channels to increase the rigidity of the sign panel.
