About John
John was born in Cheyenne, Wyoming and moved to the South when he graduated from the University of Wyoming in 1976. He immediately took a position as Store Manager for a McDonald’s franchise owner in Vicksburg, MS. In September 1976 he flew home to marry Sheryl Martens and brought her back with him to start their life together. After 18 months he began his insurance career with Traveler’s Insurance Company in Jackson, MS as a Production Manager for the Northern half of Mississippi.
A promotion with Lamar Life Insurance Company brought him to Baton Rouge, LA in April 1984. He obtained his Insurance/Financial Designations of CLU and ChFC shortly after moving to Baton Rouge and served as President of The CLU/ChFC Chapter in Baton Rouge from 1991 to 1992. John continued his involvement in the Insurance and Financial Services business until the latter part of 1999.
In early 2000 he choose to make a major career change and began his involvement in the sign business. He started that career with a national sign manufacturer who made ‘franchise’ quality signs for Small Business Owners.
John traveled for that company throughout the states of LA, MS and TX. He was promoted to District Manager for them in early 2001. In the latter part of 2002 John began to develop ‘factory’ connections with numerous national manufacturers. In the early part of 2003 he choose to set up his own company that is now called Greater Baton Rouge Signs. He has attended several national factory’s schools and training sessions.
HDU Sandblasted Sign
A sandblasted sign is a beautiful, functional addition to any office front or professional environment. Our new high density urethane foam as compared to wood …
The more traditional product used has been wood – redwood and/or red cedar:
Wood Sign Warranty
There is no way to warranty a product of nature. Great care is taken in the assembly of wood planks by using a combination of biscuits, dowels, and marine grade epoxy. The wood planks used are double kiln dried, which is more expensive but better insures against bowing.
Wood Advantages
Clear grade wood signs are solid, have a look like no other, and when installed properly will give years of use.
Wood Disadvantages
Primer seal may be broken (ie- a landscaper kicking a rock from a mower), which allow outdoor elements to deteriorate the wood. It is very hard to detect such, so routine inspections are required to protect the investment. Usually refurbishing is necessary every 5 years or so and can cost almost as much as a new sign. In addition, refurbishing can take a couple weeks leaving you WITHOUT A SIGN!!
HDU Sandblasted Sign
This newer material has entered the marketplace and provided for a much more durable and dependable product when wanting a sandblasted sign. And the best thing of all is you really can’t tell it’s not REAL WOOD unless you touch it and feel it!!
It’s called High density urethane foam. High density urethane foam allows for infinite shapes and dimensional relief techniques, resulting in the most innovative business signage found in today’s competitive marketplace.
A waterproof sandblasted sign has an elegant, handcrafted look that instantly sets it apart from other types of custom signs. The rich dimensionality and craftsmanship of a sandblasted sign creates an eye-catching appeal that distinguishes it from non-dimensional custom signs.
Sandblasted signs have experienced a growing demand recently. There are many sandblasted sign companies specializing in the custom design and construction of sandblasted signs, but the factory sources Greater Baton Rouge Signs recommends for HDU signs are the best available today in the market because they are built to withstand years and years of outdoor durability. Our HDU signs are waterproof and unaffected by temperature or climate.
Our sandblasted signs are truly unique - no two are the same. The nature of wood and stone varieties ensures that each sandblasted sign is different than any other HDU sign in the world. We target signage solutions that fit your budget and needs.
All designs are submitted to you for approval before production begins. Most sandblasted and dimensional signs are finished within 2 - 4 weeks. Completion time is dependent on overall complexity, size and workload at the time.
Quality is the utmost importance to us. We stay in touch with the factories, working hard to get your sign done as quickly as possible and provide an estimated completion date when you order.
HDU - High Density Urethane Signs
“HDU” is short for high-density urethane foam. It is a material expressly designed for the sign industry. Unlike other foam with which you may have experience, HDU consists of more solid and less air.
Urethane is a specialized material that it is unaffected by all petroleum-based solvents. Even in its “raw” state, it is completely waterproof and unaffected by temperature and climate.
A HDU sandblasted sign is impervious to water. Water and moisture cannot get under the finish and cause material break down.
HDU sign foam, unfinished is warranted for 10 years, indoor or out, against deterioration, warping, and cracking. It is 100% waterproof, not affected by temperature, and will not rot or decompose.
HDU sign foam can be blasted with 2 patterns:
- Simulated Wood Grain
- Sandstone or pebble finish
Advantages of HDU Sign Foam:
Sign Foam will not warp, crack, or bow like solid wood when exposed to the elements. It is slightly lighter than wood, which might be a consideration when hanging a sign, and the lighter weight saves in shipping.
Sign foam can be blasted with a simulated wood grain finish that, in most cases, looks better than a real wood grain.
Disadvantages of HDU Sign Foam:
Sign foam is slightly flexible, which might cause problems on long, narrow signs. If a dimensional sign is going between posts or in a situation where it might take abuse from wind or pedestrians, consider having us laminate a backing for reinforcement.
In case of some special requirement, do let us know how you plan to mount your sign so that we can work with you to ensure no problems are encountered with the HDU sign installation.
Contact one of our sales staff members today to find out more information, or feel free to send an email for an estimate.
Lighted Signs
If you are operating a store, a restaurant, or a club, lighted signs become necessary for driving the attention of passers-by in the street to your business. They are the best, most cost-effective method of advertising. They are also the most practical communication medium available to small businesses. Lighted signs are commonly used in a hustle-and-bustle marketplace.
Greater Baton Rouge Signs has a lighted sign (also known as electric sign or digital sign) for every use and budget.
We supply all types of indoor and outdoor lighted signs to numerous commercial establishments. Our lighted signs are made of high-quality material and are sturdy enough to last for years. Your investment in our lighted sign boards will reap benefits for you for years to come. Signs help your customers to find you even in the busiest streets.
Lighted signs are a necessary commodity for street businesses. Advantages of lighted signs include:
- People recognize your establishment through your lighted sign board. If they had visited you before, your fancy lighted sign board would be registered in their memory, and if they are looking for you after a substantial time-gap, then perhaps your lighted sign could guide them.
- People may refer to your lighted sign board during conversation, and thus the popularity of your business may start to grow.
- An appealing lighted sign board can target potential customers who tend to buy from another particular market.
At Greater Baton Rouge Signs, you can be confident that messages put in our lighted signs will reach the most possible potential customers. Our well-educated and experienced sales staff will guide you through selecting the most suitable and appropriate lighted sign board. Our well-trained technical staff will be available for after-sales service and will promptly attend to your call and take action immediately.
Custom LED and Neon Signs
In 1675, French astronomer Jean Picard noticed a faint glow in a mercury barometer tube. Called “barometric light,” the cause for this emergence of this light was unknown. Georges Claude first introduced neon gas signs into the United States in 1923.
Effective marketing of a retail business includes placing your banner advertisement in a strategic location. Your banner advertisement should create interest in your potential customers. Banner advertisement should be cost-effective but also persuasive enough to entice customers to visit your business. Custom neon signs make your advertisement look unique and visible in a market that is awash with other sign boards. The advantage that custom neon signs have over imitation (neon-like) signs and normal sign boards is that they are easily readable at night, in bright existing light, and even in bright sunlight.
We at Greater Baton Rouge Signs supply custom neon signs to our customers. We create custom-made signs according to your requirements and specifications. Keeping your needs in mind, our creative team makes necessary suggestions to maximize the effectiveness of your banner advertisement. The combination of our innovative computer design and the latest neon sign technology produces quality custom neon signs that possess tremendous marketing value.

LED Window Signs
LED window signs are connected through electricity or other computerized media in such a way that flashy messages are prominently displayed.
Greater Baton Rouge Signs provides LED window signs of high-quality digital imaging and highly visible graphics. These signs last longer and are significantly brighter than fluorescent bulbs and lamps. LED window signs have an outstanding visual impact, both when used as indoor and outdoor LED signs. Messages can be easily programmed through a wireless keyboard connected to a personal computer, or by connecting to a Local Area Network for wireless connections.
The great thing about our LED window signs is that they are clearly visible, even from a distance!
Aluminium Signs
Aluminum signs, also known as metal art signs, are widely used because of their durability in all weather, their light weight, and their great longevity. Wear and tear are minimal, and print and colors remain visible on boards for years. Hence, they are an extremely cost-effective choice for sign boards. If you wish your sign boards to
carry your brand, there is nothing better than choosing strong and flexible aluminum signs.
Greater Baton Rouge Signs provides a wide range of aluminum signs to suit your requirements and budget. Aluminum signs are very popular among the corporate houses, hotels, and restaurants, and, of course, traffic departments, who use reflective aluminum signs on roads. Reflective aluminum signs greatly assist drivers at night.
We offer aluminum signs for the following purposes:
- Corporate Brand Name: Displays your company’s name, logo, and address on a wall, in a lobby, in the front area of a factory, or anywhere else, making it clearly visible for visitors.
- Signage: This will guide new visitors to your official premises if your commercial parking is located some distance from the entrance of your building. It also can be helpful to show directions to a reception area, a pantry, parking facilities, and more.
- Directions: Small or medium-sized signs can be used to guide visitors. The sign may include building numbers, names of departments, instructions, warnings, etc.
- Advertising: Small aluminum signs can be useful for advertising different products in various places.

Channel Letter Sign
Our channel letter sign is effectively used for displaying corporate ids. Different LED colors are used but still red is the most favorite because it is the brightest and eye catchy. These letters are made of U-shaped channel usually of metal. Our aluminum constructed channel letters are much better than steel constructed one as they are lighter and less exposed to damage factors such as rust. They can be easily installed while mounting in the walls and ceilings.
The types of channel letters commonly used are:
- Standard Channel letter Sign
- Reverse Channel letter Sign
- Channel letters with open faces
Standard Channel is made up of U-channel base whereas Reverse channel letters are made of metal faces and sides of letters have a clear plastic backing. The faces of the Channel letters with “open” faces are made of clear plastic while the remaining letters being same as the Standard letters.
Up until the last couple years, neon had been the primary ‘lighting’ source used in the construction of channel letters. Since their inception, LEDs have revolutionized the use of electronic message boards in the sign market place. Today, LEDs are used in other areas of sign construction as well. The use of LED lighting in channel letters provides for the following advantages over Neon:
- Easy on-site installation - It Reduces the weight of the finished product by approximately one-half allowing for quicker installing of the sign and less ‘labor intensive’, thereby saving money in installation costs.
- Outstanding energy efficiency - up to 80% - saves you money on operational expenses to run the sign.
- Long life - up to 100,000 hours vs. Neon which has an average operating life of 3-5 years - thus greater reliability.
- More durable when handled thereby reducing the chances in breakage during shipping and/or when being installed.
- Possible warranty from the manufacturer in comparison with Neon’s ‘NO WARRANTY’. Some of the manufacturers of LED lighting offer 5 year warranties. With Neon there usually is NONE. The cost for LED lighting is usually very similar to Neon. So when shopping for Channel Letter signage, ask about LED lighting
Signs and Letter Boards
Although sign boards today are limited to advertisements, directions, and traffic control, they played a significant role during ancient times, when there were no street names or numbered houses, and when few people knew how to read. There were carved wood signs, custom wood signs, engraved signs, and painted signs. Signs were carved in wood and stone and then painted to add an artistic touch. Today, sign boards can be made of plastic, redwood, or any number of materials, and are used as roadside signs, entrance signs, restaurant signs, etc.
Letter Boards
Letter boards come in several styles and are a very practical way to display your advertisements, messages, and announcements. Letter boards are commonly used for bulletin boards, directories, lobby directories, and message signs. Letter boards are also effective tools for occasions where changeable signs are desired.
Greater Baton Rouge Signs offers you a wide variety of sign frame products that are sure to suit your requirements. The products include multi-panel frames, single frames, and quad-fold sign displays. Also, you take advantage of amazing discounts on these products.
Fancy Lettering
In advertising, signs are displayed through images or letters. Flashy, fancy letters are more attention-grabbing compared to simple letters. While determining the format and design of the display letters, Greater Baton Rouge Signs takes into consideration important factors, such as what the sign display face is and how effectively the message could be adjusted without disturbing the original context and visibility.
We know that the purpose of advertising is to draw attention to the message and not the medium, and an effective letter sign has a good composition and possesses balance, unity, harmony, and rhythm altogether. Greater Baton Rouge Signs keeps a balance in deciding the font style and size, depending upon the intended purpose of the sign, whether to sell a product or display a message or service. We also consider if signs will be viewed by fast or slow-moving traffic.
