Signs, Signs, Everywhere Signs

If you grew up in the 70s, you probably remember the hit song “Signs” by the Five Man Electrical Band, with the unforgettable chorus: "Signs, Signs, Everywhere Signs"

“Signs, signs, everywhere signs…” Listen on YouTube

Those words are as true today as ever. Signs surround us—guiding, informing, warning, and decorating our world. They’re everywhere in our communities, our workplaces, and even our homes. And in today’s world of visual communication, they’re more important than ever.

Signs In Business


In Marketing

A good sign is one of the most powerful marketing tools a business can have. According to the International Sign Association, signage is often a customer’s very first impression of your brand.

Here’s why signs matter in marketing:


  1. Attract new customers – Eye-catching signage draws attention and helps people find your business.

  2. Brand your business – Your logo, color scheme, and design speak volumes about who you are.

  3. Create impulse sales – A well-placed sign can prompt quick, unplanned purchases or remind customers of seasonal specials.


Simply put, a sign isn’t just a label—it’s an around-the-clock salesperson that works 365 days a year.

In the Workplace

Signs aren’t just about sales—they keep people safe, too. According to Ving App’s workplace safety guide, safety signage is a vital part of every safe environment.

Here are five key reasons why:


  1. They are educational – Teaching workers about hazards and safe procedures.

  2. They can be preventative – Helping reduce the likelihood of accidents before they occur.

  3. They are a legal requirement – Many industries must comply with OSHA and local safety standards.

  4. They provide instant safety information – Offering quick visual cues when time matters.

  5. They help the public – Informing visitors of restricted areas or safety rules.


From “Caution: Hot Surface” to “Authorized Personnel Only,” these essential signs protect employees, customers, and the public alike.


In the Home

Signs aren’t limited to businesses—they’re also an expressive part of home décor. The team at The Barn on Country Club offers creative ways to use signs in decorating:


  1. Create a focal point – A statement sign can anchor your room’s theme.

  2. Add a splash of color – Painted or rustic finishes bring warmth and texture.

  3. Show off whimsy or humor – Fun quotes or clever sayings add personality.

  4. Preserve remembrance – Family name signs or memorial plaques honor loved ones and memories.


At Bolt Laserworks, we often design personalized signs for homes—custom-etched on wood, metal, glass, or mirror—creating heirloom-quality pieces that are both meaningful and beautiful.
