Smith Sign Studio | Estes Park

Smith Sign Studio traces its history through 8 generations, to wheelwrights, gilders, and sign shops in the late 1700s. The "Smith Sign Studio" name began in 1928 when Howard F. Smith decided he was ready for self employment. His son Kent joined the enterprise in 1955. While Howard concentrated on hand crafted signs and gilding, Kent broadened the scope to include electrical signs and expanded installation services as well as today's computerized full-color pictorials -- while still specializing in the antique arts.

​

All signs are custom fabricated for the individual customer. We can work from your preexisting designs, including modification for distance viewing, or we can take your preconceptions and design for you, including logos, to be used for other forms of advertising.

Kent passed away May 19, 2025.  Their daughter, Audri Smith, has taken over design, production, and sales.
