Where It All Began

ThinkSIGN, headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, is a premier design and software company

that manufactures LED Signage Solutions. Since 1998 we have been designing and

manufacturing LED Signs and Software, placing thousands of Electronic Message Centers in all

50 states as well as Canada.

We continue to grow and expand our reach, offering UL Listed and FCC Verified products with

powerful, easy to use software, superior hardware and outstanding support for our customers

and partners.

ThinkSIGN Xtreme is our full color product family, offered in 10, 16 and 20mm. Full color LED Signs offer more brightness, making your message reach farther. One study indicated that color could influence an impulse decision as much as 90%, and proper contrast increased revenue by 114%! Color,

contrast and brightness give you the greatest advantage when advertising. Pound-for-pound, your on-premise advertising is the most valuable investment you can make!

Our Xtreme product is Thinner, Lighter & Smarter. The best on-premise message center on the market.

Xtreme Features:• Thinner - 5” aluminum frame with a 2” powder-coated steel frame.

• Lighter - The thinner cabinet is 30% lighter which saves you time and money on delivery and installation.

• Smarter - Each module is designed with a CPU allowing superior color depth & calibration, and easy diagnostics to find and report any sign issues with pinpoint accuracy.

Choosing the Right Sign

Messaging/Time & Temp/TextHistorically, Monochrome, or single color EMCs had been the only available message centers. Today the difference in cost between full and single color is so small, that you should compare the cost and benefits

of single color versus full color.

Single color offers simplicity, and is budget friendly where full color is not limited by color, brightness

or contrast.

Images/BrandingAs the cost lowers, more and more organizations and businesses are using full color EMCs. They no longer have to be limited to one color for the 12-15 years of anticipated life of their display. With

full color, you benefit from a brighter display, unlimited color and contrast options, and images that attract more attention to your place of business or organization.

Most Popular LED Sign Sizes

We offer signs that suit every message, style, and budget. Whether you want a simple messaging sign – or a brand building ‘high resolution’ EMC.

Size, Distance and ResolutionSmall displays need more pixels so they can show more in a

small space. More pixels means less limitations in graphic, text and characters per line.

We recommend higher resolution displays (10 or 16 mm) for small sizes. Conversely, bigger signs that are further away can

be a lower resolution (20mm).

16mm 16mm (pitch) is the brightest and most popular for medium sized displays and resolution.

10mm 10mm (pitch) is best suited for small sizes, close viewing distances and photos/videos

20mm 20mm (pitch) offers flexibility with both large and small sizes. Offered in full color and monochrome to meet any budget.
