The Great American Sign Company

The Great American Sign Company has been serving the NY Metropolitan Area, North and Central New Jersey for over 20 years. Our clients include federal agencies, NJ Transit, several prestigious universities and major corporations alike. Many of our biggest customers have been with us for over 15 years.

Our award-winning designs can be found everywhere from your local train station, to the Brooklyn Federal Courthouse, the U.S. Mission to the United Nations, the Offices of Senators and Congressmen, the halls of Fairleigh Dickinson, NJIT, Centenary College and Drew Universities. If you take a look at our gallery, there is a good chance you will see a sign you pass every day.

After graduating from Rutgers University, I spent two years in Advertising in New York City. Later moving back to NJ, I found my calling as an art director for a full service sign company in Hillside, NJ. I went out on my own and founded The Great American Sign Company in 1990. 20 years later, I’m still doing work for my very first customer, the Federal General Services Administration.

I’m a hands-on manager, personally meeting with all clientele. I enjoy the personal interaction and satisfaction of seeing a project through from start to finish. Each and every time you call, you will be working with the owner. As the relationship continues, we often become familiar with the clients' facilities, making the process even easier for the customer as time goes on.

My goal is to give you a sign that is not only beautiful, but communicates. It should complement its surroundings and impress all who pass by. It should be a reflection of the quality and professionalism that you bring to your organization.

I look forward to working with you!

Gary Johnson
