AA - Vintage Sign

Is it really possible to have a sign that looks like it’s been around for decades… but is brand new? Yes it is. With one of our vintage signs.  

A vintage sign is any sign that looks as though it is from a time in the past. It could be a light box reminiscent of the 60’s, a neon sign in the style of the 80’s, or even rusted letters mounted on an aged effect wooden panel. 

These signs give you the best of both worlds. The look and feel of an old sign, with the durability, safety and manufacturing methods of the modern age. We can apply rusting solution to new metal, so while it looks old, it still retains its integrity. For old lighting, the effect is achieved using different bulbs and translucent vinyls. 

Do you have an old panel at home already? Perhaps something depicting an old drinks logo or advertisement? We can use this as a base for your sign. So, here are five reasons why we love creating vintage signs at A1deSIGNS – the top benefits.

Investment Value

Some vintage signs, especially those from well-known brands or with historical significance, can appreciate in value over time. Collectors often seek out rare or iconic signs, making them potential investment pieces that could increase in worth.
