Beane Signs Celebrating 50 years
W
illiam Beane opened the doors of Beane Signs in 1971. His meticulous attention to detail on hand painted signs grew the business’ reputation as a quality shop. Randy Beane, who joined the company in 1985, took over managing in 2013 when his dad retired and continues the tradition of high-quality signs but in the modern high-tech age. The business has come a long way since 1971, and Randy looks back on the proud past of the company, while also keeping his eyes firmly ahead on a bright future. Beane Signs is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment that can produce just about anything you can dream up, but Randy credits his team of designers and installers as one of the reasons the business is so successful. “We would not be where we are today without our incredibly talented staff – they are the reason we are so successful.” Bryan Frazier is a Graphic Design graduate from Randolph Community College. He has 21 years of design and sign creation experience.

He joined Beane Signs in April 2013. His eye for detail and hunger for quality production make him an outstanding designer. His love of art started at an early age. He attended ERHS and took art classes with Mr. Collins. He took every art course that was offered at the school, and when there were no more options, Mr. Collins created an honors art course for his best students. Without the encouragement of his high school art teacher, Bryan could not imagine where he would be today or what he would have chosen for a career. Bryan really enjoys working on signs from concept to finished product. Dimensional signs are his favorite to work on, rendering the drawings in 3D for the fabricator to create and seeing the vision come to life is always a pleasure. Bryan collects and restores old British cars in his spare time, specifically MGs and MGBs. He often buys old cars and “flips” them for fun. He also has a passion for vintage advertising and automotive signs and has collected an impressive number of them over the years.
