Star Signs


Star Signs


Star Signs, LLC provides custom fabrication and installation of commercial signs, large architectural signage and graphics products. They provide complete project management to ensure the success of each project. In design and fabrication, Stars balance issues of design, technology, quality and cost to ensure they fulfill the expectations and vision of their customer.

They primarily use aluminum when creating signs but try to work with whatever the client wants like acrylic and digital signage.  Some of their unique materials include:
• Custom steel mesh and steel fabrication
• Custom patinas and faux finishes
• Stone and masonry
• Custom illumination


Like Reuter Organ Company, Star signs uses a CNC Router to easily cut out complex shapes and patterns. They form their signs using primarily a roller press and join parts together by welding and using adhesives. They have options to either paint, texturize or add lighting to finish the sign. 

Their work can be found all over Kansas City and various places across the country. They have worked with some of the biggest companies in the area including the main Boulevard Brewery Sign and The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art entrance signage, both pictured below. Some of their other work includes : Legends Shopping Center, Kauffman Stadium wayfinding, JQH Arena wayfinding, Atchison, KS Hospital Directory and many more.

I was surprised at the range of signage they were capable of doing for a single company. Their work ranged from LED lighting to video signage. We were able to see large scale exterior signage as well as small scale interior wayfinding and graphics while touring their warehouse.
