BUSINESS NEWS
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.
