Change is Good!

Over the past twenty years we have done a lot of truly amazing things. 

With over $45,000,000.00 in installed signage assets across Canada, the United States, Korea, Russia, and Dubai we can take pride in the fact that we have often done what others thought impossible: from 96” diameter aluminium spun globes hung in glass atriums, 80 kilometres of vinyl striping on flagship storefronts in New York, 22’ tall letters on the top of the roller coaster wall at West Edmonton Mall to gorillas and talking frogs for Rainforest Cafes. There is not much that we have not already done.

We have worked with some incredible people over those years too – all of them inspiring us to continue to think outside of the box in order to bring thoughtful and effective ideas to complex and diverse signage challenges. Working with teams is where we excel – working collaboratively to complete the most challenging of projects. 

In those twenty years we have bought and sold sign manufacturing businesses. We have sat on various boards, from the Sign Association of Canada, to The Exhibit and Display Association of Canada. We have won North American Design awards and participated in North Americas largest retail trade expositions from Global Shop in Chicago to IDDEX in Toronto. 

We have partnered with numerous software companies in order to arrive where we are now, with state of the art web based retail signage procurement and management packages (SOS and PTOS). We have always worked diligently towards the best means of serving our clients. We are a no-nonsense confident group that always gets the job done – no matter the obstacles.

Today is no different. At Signs of Change we continue to offer and provide outstanding project management and process to the most complex of sign programs. Our Systems development over the years started with Lotus Notes, providing web based access to suppliers and customers and has moved far beyond that now. We will be entrenching our Systems into GET Signage, our sister company starting in October. Our Price Ticket Operating System (PTOS) and our Store Ordering System (SOS) are web based sign management tools with lots of new added features that complement GET’s new Electronic Digital Signage initiative. We are constantly moving with the times and can now provide seamless print and electronic digital media content all from one single System source.

You will be hearing from both of us (Signs of Change and GET Signage) in the coming months and beyond. We are excited to move into our future with such strength and promise and we give our thanks to all those who believed in our abilities and gave us the opportunities to prove that the impossible can be done. Our foundation is built on commitment and success. Our future will build on our past.  Pay attention. We want you to reap the benefits.

Whether it's a prototype for consideration or a rollout / conversion of hundreds of stores over a few months or a number of years, Signs of Change is your proven Sign Program Partner.

Custom Builds


Signs of Change has completed complex design build projects in Canada, United States, and the Middle East. From 96" diameter illuminated aluminum spun globes hanging from glass atrium's in an earthquake zone to 22' high illuminated channel letters 20 storeys in the air, our firm has the capabilities to design, engineer, manufacture and install the craziest darndest things you can think of. We're known for it.

Systems


In a partnership with Get Signage Components and Shindig Digital Constructions Inc. we created a new platform that specifically caters to the signage market. The application is SOS (Store Ordering System). SOS is a web-based suite of tools for managing all aspects of your retail signage programs: store orders, production, warehousing, fulfillment, shipping and inventory tracking. Our customers and suppliers use the system for free.
