Traditional sign painting and murals since 1998

Hand painted signs are the best choice for your applying your business identity to the world. Paint will withstand the elements better than cut vinyl and wraps. Hand painted signs age beautifully, are easy to repair and maintain, and add warmth to what can sometimes be an overwhelmingly cold sea of graphic sameness in our urban environments. Trends in design will fluctuate, but brick and mortar business is always dependent on the same methodology of generating revenue: be inviting to the public. Traditional painted signs and the hand-made aesthetic behind them are welcoming by nature. Nothing says “Welcome” better than the charm of a hand done script. Your businesses signs are your first conversation with the public. With that in mind: what would you like to say to the thousands of people who pass by your shop daily?

My name is Ira Coyne. Welcome to I.C. Signs LLC. I painted my first sign in 1998. I learned how to paint in -10 degree weather in Minneapolis with Phil Vandervaart. Phil bestowed on me patience and deliberate design and intention in the short time I shadowed him . Later on, I apprenticed under Vince Ryland in Washington state for 10 years. With Vince I learned how to paint signs in the drizzling rain, how to expedite affordable impromptu signs, how to design large upscale projects, and how to turn a lettering quill and build letters from scratch. I can make, paint, design, install, repair, repaint, and maintain your signs for your storefronts, interiors, and warehouse spaces. I aim to please and I enjoy establishing long term relationships with my clients so that I can provide affordable signs and murals for years to come.

I.C. SIGNS

  • My signs are 100% hand made in the traditional of classical sign painting. Whether you need one sign or ten signs, I can help your business achieve an approachable and iconic identity.

  • Murals are a powerful method of speaking to the public in a sophisticated, yet accessible manner. When words aren’t enough for conveying your business’s attitude and vibe: illustrations, pictorials, graphics, and creativity can pick up the slack where letters leave off.

  • I offer design services for your signage, branding, and logos. I can provide guidance from the ground up, an improvement on your ideas, or activation of your existing design package with consideration to your storefronts architectural style and presence. As an optional addition to custom sign design, I can provide your business with the correct files for print and online representation.

  • I have 30 years of experience painting houses and commercial buildings. I provide these services for new construction, repaints, and remodels. Does your building require a paint job before we begin on your signs? We can incorporate this unique opportunity into your identity.
