Young Sign Company
Young Sign Company was started in 1934 by Elmer O . Young . They have been in their current location since 1945 . Elmer was a young budding artist , and at his high school teacherʼs suggestion he got his first job designing signs at the Strand Theater . Since the theater did not have movie posters in those days , Elmer worked in the basement of the Strand to design and paint posters of upcoming movies .
Richard Young followed in his fatherʼs footsteps in terms of his artistic ability — including having the same high school art teacher . Richard originally began his career as a painter and sculptor . He taught sculpture , painting and computer graphics at Gavilan College and in Stockton from 1970 through 1994 .
Young Sign Company is a custom sign company that creates an image for the business , not just the sign . The signage includes everything from gold leaf on a door to a 55-foot auto mall freeway sign . Young Sign Company believes that a sign is a powerful advertising tool and they are committed to creating excellence . Young Sign Company can be reached at 408-842-4145 .
