Unisign Corporation

What Unisign Corporation does

Unisign Corporation is a privately held commercial signage and awning manufacturer and installer headquartered in Prestonsburg, Kentucky. Founded in 1975, the company designs, fabricates, and installs a full range of exterior and interior signage for commercial customers, including illuminated and non-illuminated awnings, illuminated channel letters, non-illuminated letters, freestanding signs, building signs, pan embossed and pan flat signs, flex face signs, and aluminum/metal signs. It also distributes commercial LED message units through a partnership with Daktronics, which it describes as the leader in LED display manufacturing.

The business model is project-based and direct-sales oriented: pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, customers reach Unisign via its website contact form, phone, or email, and the company operates a fleet of boom-equipped trucks (45 to 120 feet) to perform installation, removal, refurbishing, restoration, re-branding, and ongoing service work. An in-house graphics department supports custom design. The go-to-market is sales-led field service rather than digital demand generation, with marketing limited to the company website and a Facebook page.

The customer base is regional and spans three U.S. states — Eastern Kentucky, Western Virginia, and Southern West Virginia — and serves a mix of industries: retail (Starbucks, Walgreens, TJ Maxx, Hobby Lobby, Family Dollar, Fazolis), healthcare (King's Daughters Medical Center, ARH, PMC, Logan Regional Medical Center), fitness (Planet Fitness), automotive (Walters Toyota, Oil Changers), hospitality, and government (Paintsville City Hall, City of Whitesburg). Unisign is a small operation (1–10 employees), privately and locally owned with no institutional investment, no disclosed parent, and no public financials. As of August 2025, the company exited billboard offerings and routes billboard inquiries to Lamar Advertising, narrowing its scope to custom commercial signage.
