We’ve Been in Your Shoes. That’s Why We’re So Good at What We Do.
At The Sign Shop, we understand what it feels like to work hard, invest your heart into your business… and still feel invisible.
We’ve been there. In fact, our journey began long before The Sign Shop ever existed — in a small garage where Jon’s dad, Bud Watkins, hand-painted signs on weekends. That early exposure to craftsmanship, color, and community laid the foundation for everything we do today.
A Legacy of Lettering and Lessons Learned
Jon Watkins grew up in the sign business — learning from his dad, painting murals, and hustling through the ups and downs of entrepreneurship. In the 90s, they ran “The Sign Post,” a family-run shop with big dreams and a lot of heart.
Mistakes were made. Lessons were learned the hard way. And when the shop shuttered, Jon kept at it — doing signs and murals on the side for over 25 years, all while building relationships with clients like Honda and other major brands across Ohio.
Today, The Sign Shop stands as a full-service visual branding studio — offering everything from vinyl wraps and banners to digital signage (EMCs) and professional installs. And every single project we take on is powered by a single mission:
Help good businesses get seen.
Why It Matters
We believe it’s just not right for passionate, hard-working business owners to be overlooked. You deserve a brand that turns heads, signage that pulls people in, and a look that tells the world you mean business.
That’s why we offer:
- Thoughtful consultation (stop in any time)
- Proofs before we ever print
- Revisions until it’s right
- Design and installation that backs your reputation
Let’s Make Your Business Stand Out
Whether you’re a start-up with big dreams or an established company ready for a rebrand, you don’t have to settle for average.
You bring the hustle — we’ll bring the BAM.
