You've invested time in developing a quality product. You've set up shop in a prime location. Now how are you going to get customers to notice you? While a user-friendly website and an engaging advertising campaign will certainly drive traffic, they can also drive up costs. Your most cost-effective and hardest working marketing element is often also the most overlooked - an attractive and creative sign.
The investment to create an exceptional sign doesn't have to be large. In fact, great signs are no more expensive than drab, ineffective ones. When you consider your sign is often the first impression that potential customers will have for your business, it makes sense to do it right. Along with your sign professional, Gemini can provide a face for your company that will set you apart from the competition.
For nearly 50 years Gemini has been creating high-quality, innovative, and affordable signage products. We believe in the quality of our products and we want our customers to share that belief. For that reason, Gemini offers a Lifetime Guarantee on all of our superior products. Should your letters or logos chip, crack or fade, we will replace the product at no charge.

FINISH NOTES: All Patinas, by their very nature, will vary from letter to letter and order to order. These finishes will change in appear-ance over time depending on contact with moisture and tem-perature. Patinas can "bleed" onto the installation surface when installed outside. Maximum single piece we can polish is 30".
6000 Years of ExperienceCasting metal is a practice that has been carried out for thousands of years. The oldest known casting is a copper frog that dates back to 3200 BC. While Gemini hasn't been making cast letters for quite that long, we do take the process and refine it by using only the highest-quality metals available. In addition, the metals are all lead and mercury free and all trim is recycled.
From the moment the molten metal is poured until the letter or logo is hand-finished using one of our many finish options, your project is carried out with exceptional attention to detail. While Gemini offers a wide variety of standard letter styles, we realize your project is unique. If you have a custom style or logo in mind we can work with you to make your finished product match your vision.
Gemini's cast letters provide a sense of permanency and depth that is unmatched by other letter options. Their dis-tinguished, classic look is backed by a Lifetime Guarantee.

Dear Gemini,
In October 2008, All-American Moving Service of Colorado Springs, Colorado contacted us. They had formed plastic letters on their building that were missing. I knew nothing of the letters other than that they were old and had been on the building for some time. I told the customer that I would send them a bid for Gemini letters because of Gemini's lifetime warranty.
I discovered that the letters were more than 2 decades old after speaking with our installer about the job. He said he worked
for the moving company years ago and remembered that the letters were installed when the building was completed. That
was 22 years ago. He did not know who had made the letters originally or who the original sign company had been.
A Real Life Example of Gemini's Lifetime Guarantee
I sent the letter "S" to Gemini's production manager who immediately recognized
it as a Gemini product. Our plan was simply to replace the missing letters with
new letters of the same style and approximate color. However, Gemini said that
they would replace all 13 letters at no charge to us. They included a pattern and
shipping as well.
The decision by Gemini to replace the letters at no charge under warranty prevented a mix-match of letters (an eyesore),
saved the customer more than $1,500 in new letters, and secured a Gemini re-seller for life. The number of sources for
formed letters is almost countless today, but I will only buy and sell one product: Gemini.
Thank you to the whole Gemini family.Jon Haar, Enchanted Signs, Colorado Springs, CO

The Ultimate Aluminum FinishAnodized finishes are not just coatings - they are a part of the finished aluminum letter. Anod-izing is an electro-chemical process that hardens aluminum and allows it to be colorized. Gem-ini performs our own anodizing to ensure that all of the letters within your order have color consistency.
