Welcome Fusion Sign and Design!
Twenty-nine years ago, I began a career in the sign industry in the most hands-on way possible: as a sign spinner. What started as an entry-level position became the beginning of a long and successful journey—one built on hard work, determination, and a deep understanding of the sign and design business from the ground up.
Donate to Win – $10,000!
On August 13th, during the evening festivities at the CSA convention banquet, we will hold our live auction where fun and fabulous prizes will be sold to the highest bidders, and someone will walk away $10,000 richer as we announce the winner of the $10,000 drawing for CSA’s traditional fundraiser.

Remembering our Friend, Jim Weinel
12/8/33 – 6/2/2026
Jim is considered to be one of the most profound influences on the sign industry since he started his sign business in the early 1960s with $150 of start-up cash. Jim and Sharon Weinel rented 400 square feet of space in a garage, and together began what is now one of the great successes of the American sign industry. Their company, Gemini Inc., based in Cannon Falls, Minnesota is one of the largest producers of dimensional letters in the world.
Welcome Cirrus Systems!
Greetings from Cirrus Systems!
Cirrus Systems was founded in 2012 by Dave Rycyna with the goal to create the world’s first cloud-based outdoor LED platform. Dave saw an industry dominated by a few legacy manufacturers that were ripe for disruption. He named the company “Cirrus” to reflect the cloud-based vision.
Take Action Against Illegal Sign Contracting
Be a Bandit Buster! Report Illegal Contracting!
For decades, CSA has worked with the CSLB to report illegal contracting activity. According to CSLB, unlicensed contracting is part of California’s estimated annual $60 to $140 billion underground economy. These individuals do not pay taxes, have insurance or bonds, and it is not unusual for them to be involved in other illegal activities as well.
