Custom Signs History

Many historians agree that it was the Ancient Romans who get the credit for originating the public sign. Roman wine merchants would hang vine leaves or bushes on a pole just outside their establishment to let the illiterate public know where to find drink and games. As time went on, the Romans added illustrations to signs outside their venue. One of the earliest of these signs depicts two Roman slaves carrying a vase of wine between them. Yet another features the Roman god of Bacchus to signify a local wine merchant. Over the next hundred years, to grow their expanding empire, the Romans created a system of inns-taverns along newly constructed roads. To identify themselves to travelers, these inns would often post an easily identifiable sign. Because the majority of the public could not read, there was no reason to write the establishments name on the sign. Often the inn opened without a name and over the years, a name evolved from the illustration on its sign.

In the middle ages, many of the printed signs had a religious theme, using emblems of Catholic Saints or other religious symbols. When King Henry broke with the Catholic Church signs depicting royalty, battles and admirals became popular. This was also around the time that darts became a popular pub game. They were most likely derived as an indoor version of archery and the first dart boards were probably the sides of wood barrels.

Printed Signs became a method of advertising after King Richard II passed an Act that required all ale houses to post a sign in 1393. This was to identify themselves to the official ale taster rather than to promote their establishment to the public, but it practice caught on. Since that time a creative pub sign and good times have always gone together After the Dark Ages, the increase in trade, commerce and wealth encouraged increasingly elaborate and artistic forms of custom trade signs. The use of carvings, bright paint, ornamental iron and even gilding encouraged competition between merchants to see who could create the most elaborate custom signs. In the early 1700's the very first sign regulations were put in place to protect the public from large signs hanging too far into the narrow streets.

The signs that get the most attention from a historical perspective are the beloved Pub and Inn signs found in England, Europe and North America.Pub signs became a method of advertising after King Richard II passed an Act in 1393 that required all alehouses to post a sign. This was to identify themselves to the official ale tasters rather than to promote their establishments to the public, but the practice caught on. The result was signs that were highly creative and unusual, even by today's standards.

The true era of modern advertising began with the explosion of newspapers, flyers and catalogs of the mid-1800's. At the same time, the use of gas lighting, then the invention of the electric bulb, created a whole new technology in signage. The invention of the neon tube, which could bend into countless shapes and came in many colors, was another explosive invention. Electronic illuminated signs have been a distinctly American industry ever since. The improvement of plastics before and after World War II expanded its usage for advertising signs, making it easy to create both unique and more massproduced products. Changeable copy signs were another useful advertising and marketing creation that has expanded into the use of LEDs and programmable messages used widely today. One thing is clear. The use of custom sign symbols in daily human life is as strong now as it was so many generations ago. Symbolism transcends cultural boundaries, encourages communication and cooperation, and will continue to evolve along with us.
