Electronic Messaging Center (EMC) | Unisignco Sign Company

Electronic message center signs, also called digital or LED message boards, let you change what your sign says whenever you want. At Unisignco we design, install, and program EMC signs for businesses, schools, and churches across Texas and Louisiana.

Instead of swapping letters by hand, you update the display from software, which makes it easy to promote an event today and a special tomorrow from the same sign.

What Are Electronic Message Center Signs?

An electronic message center is a digital display built from LEDs that shows text, graphics, and animation. The content is programmed and updated remotely, so the message can change as often as you need without anyone touching the sign.

EMC displays are commonly paired with a monument or pylon structure, combining a permanent identity sign with a changeable digital panel underneath.

Benefits of EMC Signs

Change the Message Anytime

Update the display from software whenever your message changes.

Bright, Eye-Catching Display

Full-color LEDs stay readable in daylight and stand out after dark.

One Sign, Many Messages

Rotate promotions, events, and announcements without reprinting anything.

Durable Outdoor Build

Engineered to run reliably through Gulf Coast heat and weather.

Design, Manufacturing, and Installation Under One Roof

With electronic message center signs, everything happens under one roof. The crew that draws your sign is the crew that builds it and hangs it, so nothing gets lost between vendors.

Design

Our creative team develops the look, scale, and layout around your brand and your space.

Manufacturing

We handle sign manufacturing in-house, using quality materials so the finished piece matches what you approved.

Installation

Our installation crews place and secure the finished sign on site.

Repairs and Maintenance

When a sign fades or takes damage, repairs and maintenance keep it looking intentional instead of neglected.

After many years of wanting to have old photos restored for my family, I finally decided to go ahead and do it. My cousin's wife recommended Unisignco (formerly Bay Area Imaging), as she had once used them for photo restoration herself and was very happy with the results. It was very easy to get in touch with them, and they provided all the info I could have asked for. I stupidly waited too long to get them the originals, and I told them that I was really hoping to give these out as Christmas gifts but that I understood it might not be possible within the time frame. The original photos were badly scratched and faded, so my hopes weren't high. Not only did they get the job done early so I could have them for gifts, but they did a fantastic job on the photos themselves. The scratches and damage are completely gone, and they were even able to enlarge them! Something about seeing old photos in color really makes them seem more contemporary. I couldn't be happier with the results, and I will definitely be using them again in the future!

I purchased an old Neon sign and brought to Chad over at Unisign. He was getting in his truck to leave, but came back and helped me get the sign into his shop. He ran a quick test on it, knew exactly what to order and got it fixed in a record amount of time. The other staff there were also very helpful when I went to pick it up. Wonderful company to do business with! Thank you for your help!
