On Site Signage

Back in the 1960s, George Lay recognized that plastics were quickly overtaking neon as the preferred material for business signs. Today, George Lay Signs uses both plastic and aluminum materials for internally lighted signs. Whether mounted on your building, or as a freestanding monument or pylon sign, internally lighted signs are a preferred choice for business signage.

Years back, we would say "let us put your name in lights" and we’d do it with bulbs, plastic and neon. Today with electronic message signs we can put your name, your photos, and the message you want to give your customer on your sign – from text and photos, through full video capabilities. Just as computers have revolutionized our businesses, they can now turn your sign into a powerful sales tool for your business. George Lay Signs represents leading LED message sign manufacturers, and provides the installation and training to bring you a great return on your investment in this exciting technology.

Lighted letters have become a popular choice of signage for national and local retailers and for institutional users. These letters include front lit with plastic faces, front lit with exposed neon, and halo-lit letters for an understated look. Lighted letters may utilize neon, fluorescent or LEDs as the light source.

When we think of the days of cruising the town in cars from Detroit with tailfins and lots of chrome, it conjures up images of restaurants, theaters, and drive-ins with neon signs. Today, neon remains a popular choice for custom signs with a retro-look that commands your attention.

Although our main focus is electric signs, we also produce and install signs for businesses fabricated from aluminum, wood, foam, plastics, and composites. These signs include basic wood and metal signs with vinyl and painted graphics, directional and wayfinding signs, and dimensional signs using a variety of decorative materials.

Individual letters are available in a variety of materials. Formed or flat cut out plastic letters offer an economical choice in a variety of colors and finishes. Metal letters are available in many materials including aluminum, bronze, brass and stainless steel. Whether it’s for something as simple as your address, or a custom fabricated logo, let George Lay Signs help you select the letters that best fit your needs.

George and his crew began forming plastic for sign faces in the mid 1960s. Today, the plastics have been improved for better impact resistance, and we can form much larger faces than we could in 1967, but these faces still provide a great value for business signage. We offer both faces with painted graphics, and pigmented white plastic faces with vinyl graphics.

Changeable copy letters provide a great way to talk to your customers, but if you need one more R, and two A’s to finish your message, we can help you out. And if you’re selling gasoline, you may need two more #3s to post the new gas price. We stock several sizes and types of marquee letters and price numbers, and if we don’t have it in stock, we can generally have them ready for you in short order.
