Custom-Shaped Signs
Signs don’t have to be rectangles. Cutting a sign to follow the outline of a logo, figure or graphic can make it stand out from everything around it, where the design and material allow.

Specialty Signs
Not Every Great Sign Fits a Standard Category
Some of the most memorable signs start with an idea that doesn't match anything on a standard menu — an unusual shape, a logo painted across reclaimed boards, a branded piece for the floor instead of the wall, or a one-off display for a single occasion.
Art Thou Signs enjoys these projects. Bring us your concept and we'll talk honestly about what is practical, what it would take, and how to get the look you're after within your space and budget.
Specialty Sign Options
Creative Signage for Unique Projects
Looking for a storefront sign, channel letters or a monument? Those live on our custom business signs page. This page is for the projects that don’t fit the usual categories.
Dimensional & Decorative Signs
Layered elements, raised details and decorative finishes add depth and personality. These pieces lean into character — think a logo on a rustic wood backdrop or a sign with a marquee-style edge.
Specialty Business Graphics
Branding can go in places people don’t expect, like a logo graphic underfoot at your entrance. Tell us where you want your brand to appear and we’ll discuss whether it’s a good fit.
Event & One-Off Sign Projects
Some needs fall outside storefront signs and banners altogether — a showpiece for an opening, a prop for a celebration or a single sign for a special purpose.
Creative Branded Displays
Distinctive displays turn a wall, counter or corner into part of your brand story, giving customers something to remember — and photograph.

Planning Considerations
What Makes a Specialty Sign Different?
A standard sign follows a familiar recipe. A specialty piece usually means working through more variables up front — and talking honestly about which ideas are practical.
Dimensions
Very large, very small or oddly proportioned pieces need to be planned around the space they will occupy.
Shapes
Cut-out outlines and nonrectangular forms change how a sign is designed, produced and handled.
Materials
The right material depends on the look you want, where the sign lives and how long it needs to last.
Location
Indoor, outdoor, floor-level or overhead — the setting shapes nearly every other decision.
Mounting
How a piece is attached, displayed or supported has to be worked out alongside the design.
Branding
Logos, colors and lettering still need to read as your brand, even in an unconventional format.
Visibility
Viewing distance, lighting and sightlines affect sizing, contrast and placement.
Durability
A one-day display and a permanent fixture call for very different construction choices.
Complexity
Multiple layers, parts or finishes add steps that are best discussed before a project is quoted.
Our Process
Bring Us Your Idea
Not every concept can be produced exactly as imagined, but most ideas can be shaped into something that works. That conversation starts here.
Step 01: Share Your Concept
Tell us what you have in mind — a sketch, a photo of something you like, your logo, or just a description of the effect you want.
Step 02: Discuss Practical Options
We talk through size, materials, location and mounting, and point out anything that may need to change to make the idea workable.
Step 03: Review the Design & Production Plan
You review the design and how the piece will be made, and we refine the details until it is right for your space.
Step 04: Finalize the Project
Once you approve the plan, the project moves forward and we keep you informed about timing and next steps.
Why Art Thou Signs
Creative Thinking Meets Real Experience
A creative idea is only as good as its execution. Unusual projects benefit from someone who has seen what happens to materials, finishes and mounting methods once a sign leaves the shop — and who will tell you plainly when a concept needs adjusting.
That practical perspective, built over years of commercial branding work for Lawrenceville and Gwinnett-area businesses, lets us explore inventive ideas with you while keeping the finished piece readable, on-brand and suited to where it will live.
Hands-on since 2011
Art Thou Signs has worked with businesses from its Lawrenceville shop for well over a decade.
26+ years of experience
Owner DJ Walkiewicz knows which creative ideas hold up in the real world — and which need rethinking.
