The original owner John Floyd started Design Signs in a former auto repair shop in Burlington in 1985. This was after four years working under the tutelage of a journeyman signmaker in Colorado and three years in a local sign shop. Itching to have creative control over all aspects of sign design and construction he worked alone for several years and gradually added staff as the reputation of Design Signs and the demand for his services grew.
When John started in the sign business everything was done by hand from cutting out 3D logos to painting text on signs. As computer technology came into the sign industry he took advantage of the labor-saving capabilities without losing the dedication to creative design and quality workmanship that so many ’knock out’ sign shops succumbed to. He loved that technology allowed the team to create for example interchangeable directory panels each with exactly the same shape and screw holes in exactly the same spot. But to this day we still use our brushes and chisels when they provide a better result for our clients.
The variety of materials has changed a great deal over the years. Aluminum composites and environmentally responsible plastics available today far outperform many of the sign materials available 28 years ago. The team continues to look to future advances in materials to provide longer life to our signs which means a better return on investment for our clients.
