Hand Painted Signs:For countless years, sign painting has been revered as a craft steeped in tradition. As the pioneer of advertising mediums, hand-drawn lettering exudes an unparalleled sense of warmth, human touch, and artistic allure that is yet to be replicated by newer technologies. At Gold Standard Signs, our devotion to hand painting and hand lettering is fueled by our passion for our craft, our dedication to client satisfaction, and our respect for the heritage of our profession. Hand painted letters embody a lasting appeal and functionality that vinyl simply cannot match.
The color spectrum is more vivid, the strokes resonate with a human touch instead of a mechanical imprint, and hand-painted signs can be customized to any size and applied on virtually any surface. In the realm of hand-painted sign design, we're proud to uphold the legacy
while pushing the boundaries of creativity.
Gold Leaf Signs and Addresses: A sign is the initial introduction to potential patrons, and employing gold leaf is a definitive way to demonstrate your business's sophistication and commitment to quality, which are essential qualities of a successful business. Likewise, a gold leaf address significantly enhances the aesthetics of your entryway, ensuring better visibility for guests and deliveries. At Gold Standard Signs, we provide reverse glass and surface gilding in a variety of techniques (mirror finish, satin finish, and a combination of both!) and different types of leaf (yellow, white, lemon, moon gold... the options are limitless!). Feel free to browse through our portfolio of various gold leaf
signs we've expertly gilded. Gold leaf and gilded signage hold a significant position in the architectural and commercial history of New York City and globally. The radiant and attention-grabbing nature of real gold is unrivaled by any other element. Gold leaf can instill elegance and prestige to virtually any structure, serving as either a primary feature or a subtle highlight. Gold Standard Signs is a premier provider of both reverse glass and surface gilding, including unique techniques like double glass gilds, burnishing, and beyond. In the field of handcrafted
signage and particularly gold leaf sign design, we're proud to uphold this historical tradition while infusing a modern, bespoke approach.
