Suggestion for the Best of OKC Awards: Add a Best Sign & Wrap Shop Category
Dear Oklahoma City Gazette Team,
I hope you’re doing well.
I’d like to suggest adding a new category to the Best of OKC awards: Best Sign & Wrap Shop.
Sign and wrap shops play an important role in helping local businesses succeed. Nearly every business relies on signage, vehicle wraps, storefront graphics, window displays, monument signs, channel letters, or interior branding to attract customers and establish their identity. Without our industry, many businesses would struggle to make a strong first impression or stand out in an increasingly competitive market.
What many people don’t realize is that this profession is built on artistry and craftsmanship. Before a sign is ever installed, it begins with talented graphic designers and artists who transform ideas into memorable visual brands. Many sign professionals also hand-fabricate and hand-form channel letters, create custom signage from raw materials, and combine traditional craftsmanship with modern technology to produce one-of-a-kind work.
Above all else, we’re artists. We don’t just make signs—we help bring businesses to life. We take pride in creating work that represents the dreams and hard work of our clients. Most of us are in this industry because we genuinely love what we do, and we’re passionate about helping Oklahoma City’s business community grow and thrive.
Adding a “Best Sign & Wrap Shop” category would recognize an industry that quietly contributes to the success and appearance of nearly every business in our city. It would also highlight the creativity, craftsmanship, and dedication of the professionals behind the scenes who help shape Oklahoma City’s visual identity.
Thank you for considering this suggestion, and thank you for everything you do to celebrate local businesses.
Sincerely,
Byron Boyd
