Who makes the signs at Honest Ed's?
For the cover design of this week's issue, we asked Honest Ed's sign painter Wayne Reuben to lend us a bit of the store's iconic, eye-catching visual pizzaz.
Once he finished our designs, we talked to him about the store's long tradition of hand-painted signs.

it's going to be sad to see honest ed's demolished. as a graphic designer, i have always appreciated that the store kept traditional methods like this alive.
This is how I got started in the Sign business I started painting signs for Albertsons in 1993 they phased it out in 1995 but not before I got hired by a local shop in 96 been making signs since.
"use any colour you like , as long as its red. "
Great to see the man behind the scenes. However, I found the music really distracting and tacky (more so when I saw the ad for it tacked on the end). I didn't realise I was watching a commercial for some crappy song.
Amazing!!!! I looking at artists studios. The messier the better
I always wondered who drew them, they are very nice !
Very cool, I use to do paper signs, I may get back into it at some point.
i used to do a lot of paper banner signs for a local company called the cruise company. the owner would have me do a couple of banners a month and he liked when i came up with a cartoon to go along with the ad. i used 1 shot poster paint.
I never got to do grocery style signs like those. I just got into the business a bit too late.
Very nice! What paint are you using?
I feel like I just viewed a video on Michelangelo. (It's a Toronto thing.)

haha!! totally! ;)
the music is so loud in the background it's hard to focus on what he's saying. that's unfortunate.
My friend sold one of these signs for like $600.
Nobody now.
Great - could do without the music. Not a good fit.
Ruined by the music, alas! And too short.
