Our history dates back to before World War I, to the time when William Howard Taft was president, and the construction of the Panama Canal was under way.

In 1909 a sixteen-year-old Slavic emigrant was hand-painting signs for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition on the property that we now know as the University of Washington Campus in Seattle. Our company was founded by that same young man, George Zamberlin Senior, in the year 1915. We are now a third-generation family business that is recognized throughout the country as a leader in the custom sign making industry. As America experienced the Great Depression, World War II, the Kennedy era and space travel, National Sign was busy making history here in Seattle. We feel honored to have played a role in some of Seattle’s most historically significant projects. The renovation of the Roosevelt Hotel, the Seattle World’s Fair, the Washington State Convention and Trade Center, and the Metro Bus Tunnel are a few of our noteworthy historical achievements.

We are proud to have such a rich history, and we are carefully positioning ourselves for the future. We have broadened our boundaries from Las Vegas to Guam, Vladivostok to Hawaii. In an ever-shrinking world of cultures and communication we continue to focus on George Zamberlin Senior’s original vision of effective visual communication through quality craftsmanship.
