Our story

From a basement bench to our shop in Poland

Three decades of custom signs, hand lettering and large-format printing for the Tri-County Area.

1

1992 · The start

It began with a lettering brush.

Long before vinyl wraps and large-format printers, this was a craft built on a steady hand — calligraphy, hand-lettered signs and personalized work, one letter at a time.

Growing up

Banners, lettering & personalized work.

Vehicle and window lettering, lighted signs and personalized gifts turned a one-person craft into a real sign business.

New tools, same standard

Vinyl, wraps & large-format printing.

As the technology changed, we added vehicle wraps, screen printing, DTF prints and large-format printing — keeping the by-hand attention to detail.

A specialty few offer

Logos painted onto asphalt.

From asphalt logo and mascot painting to car lot and dealer decals, we took on the jobs other shops dont.

Through the years

Three decades, one Valley

Drive anywhere in the Tri-County Area and you’ll spot our work before you even notice the logo — the church marquee on a Sunday morning, the family dentist’s sign on the corner, the D.A.R.E. cruiser rolling through a school parade, the race car at the county fair, even “Sweet Billie Jo” waiting in the hangar. Since 1992, DC Graphics has turned local businesses, teams, churches and families into something the whole community recognizes. These aren’t just signs and graphics — they’re part of the Valley’s everyday story, and we’ve been proud to letter it for over thirty years.
