Ace Sign Co

We recently took my mother-in-law to Ace for a tour of their beautiful neon museum, which just keeps getting better. For me, as a longtime Route 66 enthusiast who grew up in Illinois, a tour of the museum is like visiting old friends: the Tropics sign, the Art’s Motel sign, the Bel-Air Sputnik, and others. We misread the museum schedule and were ready to leave, making a mental note to plan better next time, when the owner overheard us talking and gave us an impromptu, private tour. Highly, highly recommended to anyone who has an interest in Route 66, Springfield history, or commercial art.

I can't say enough positive things about Ace Sign Company and the work they did on a pretty big project I had for work recently. They were true collaborators from start to finish—attentive to our ideas, responsive to feedback, and flexible with both budget and timeline constraints. Their team brought creativity, precision, and professionalism to every step of the process. We’re thrilled with the final result and would gladly work with them again.

We stopped in for one of the tours of their shop. The owner, Dennis, was available to give the tour. If you’re on the fence about hiring Ace, I highly recommend you take the full tour. You will feel their pride in their work, the diversity of services and solutions, their focus on quality and their personal pride in this fifth generation family business. From RV wraps to neon signs. Holy cow. You can see their live solutions at the fairgrounds. There is a Route 66 Experience entirely built by Ace. I’ll share a photo of that. Definitely a quality company.

The museum tour is interesting and informative. We enjoyed learning about the history of the company, and seeing all of the amazing signs.

I arrived to enjoy their sign museum during an off time for a tour but was offered one anyway. Dennis, retired owner, was there and graciously showed me around their MANY beautiful signs. They designed everyone of them! Did you know Motorheads has several signs done by them? Did you also know the Granite City IL neon sign park was done by them too? WOW! Thanks again Dennis and Ace Sign Company! 😃😃😃

Tour given by the owner Dennis was excellent. You’ll see history, cool signs of course, learn a few cool things about neon, and really enjoy it! Our tour only took about 40 and was a VERY enjoyable learning experience! Time well spent for sure.

Brilliant tour of the sign workshop and museum! We learned about the fabrication of different types of signage and saw so many iconic signs. Highly recommend!

We loved the (museum)tour and the stories. Thanks Dennis and keep this interesting business up. Karin and Fred, The Netherlands
