HERE IS OUR STORY
Super Signs is run by Shop Owner Marissa Cianciulli. We work out of a nice little Sign Shop located in the heart of South Philadelphia where we create custom hand-painted signs, designs, and more.
Super Signs has been a staple sign shop in Philadelphia for over 30 years. It was originally founded by a Joseph Pizzo (a legendary sign artist). I found Super Signs while contemplating new work, met the owner of the building, who then threw me the keys and told me to give it a shot. For the last two years I have devoted all my time renovating the building and sorting through around 30 years of old material and rubbish, until I made it the lovely little professional running shop it is now.
With my background of being the in-house Graphic Artist and Creative Director at Four Corners (owner of Union Transfer, Morgan's Pier, Boot & Saddle, Dolphin Tavern, Drinkers,etc) for the previous 4 years I knew the in's and the out's of creating some eye catching artwork. I grew a name in the Graphic Design Industry in Philadelphia thanks to that job and when I left I took my clients with me and continued branding logos, doing design work, and restoring vintage signage. Driven to create more, I started looking into the art of Hand-Painted Signage and Vinyl. Self-Taught, I practiced all day, everyday. Living above the shop in a one bedroom studio it was my only goal to live it and love it, and so I did.
In January of 2017, I officially bought Super Signs as an LLC. After about a year of re-branding as a sole-proprietor and remodeling the shop, Super Signs has taken it's place and established itself as one of the first Women-Owned Sign Shops in the country. Super signs is in the heart of south Philadelphia, right next to Pat's & Geno's Steaks. We're a Sign & Design Studio with a bright eye catching store front. We wanted to keep with traditional "walk-in" service style where people can feel comfortable popping in for quote on a job, a quick sign, or just to say hello!
We have had some very notable clients choose us to work with such as Pat's Steaks - we hand-painted their facade. Union Transfer - hand-painted 100ft of hand-lettering on their 12 story high building at the corner of 10th & Spring Garden. Threatre of Living Arts - hand-painted ghost signage in the bar area and the entrance way. Philly Style Bagels - hand-painted their logo on both sides of the building. Bonnie's Capistrano - Hand-Painted swinging sign for one of the oldest South Philly Dive Bars. BOK Building - we were chosen out of 100 artists to create the hand-painted exterior lettering on the building. Designing and executing in an artistic fashion "TOWING" signage. World Cafe Live - Box Office hand-painted entrance signage. Pabst Blue Ribbon - Multiple hand-painted signs upon requests for events. Most Recently, Pop's Water Ice - All of their vinyl Signage. (Water Ice and Cheesesteaks... How much more Philly can you get?) Other places such as, South Philly Towing, Wild Mutation Records, Jaspers Backyard, B. Wilks Fabrics, & more!
We are inspired by vintage hand-lettering and advertisement and try to show this in as many of our jobs as possible. We proudly believe in using the most high quality traditional material, sticking to traditional ways of sign painting, and meeting each client's deadline in a timely manner.
We take pride in each sign we create and want to keep our clients as happy as possible. The sense of community working with other local small businesses is something we absolutely love, and making each storefront and each neighborhood a little brighter gives us the biggest sense of fulfillment possible!
We specialize in interior and exterior signage, Glass and Window signage, Swinging Signs, Wall Murals, Vehicle lettering (Trucks, Cars, Boats), Branding, Hand-Painted & Vinyl Lettering of all kinds. We cover the entire process from a sketched mock-up or digital design of the requested job and work with the client until it is absolutely perfect!
All in all Super Signs has been your local sign shop for over 30 years and we're carrying on the tradition for hopefully another 30.
