Award-Winning Custom Signs & Vehicle Wraps in Medicine Hat | SpeedPro
Proudly Serving Medicine Hat and Southern Alberta for Over 30 Years
When a business survives and thrives for three decades, it’s not by accident. It’s built on a foundation of quality craftsmanship, community trust, and a relentless dedication to making our clients look their absolute best. With Tradeshow displays, Vehicle wraps, Building Signage, Promotional items and Banners.
For over 30 years, we have been Medicine Hat and Southern Alberta’s premier destination for high-impact commercial signage, premium print marketing, and custom vehicle wraps. From the local mom-and-pop shop on 2nd Street to large-scale commercial fleets navigating the Trans-Canada Highway, we understand the unique visual landscape of our region.
A Legacy of Craftsmanship: Our Story
Every great sign points to a great history. Our roots in this community run deep, established by our previous owner, Ernie Whitrow, who built a reputation for excellence and reliability.
In 2017, the torch was proudly passed. Mel Earl, after working alongside Ernie and learning the business inside and out for five years, purchased the company alongside her husband Scott. Today, Mel and Scott lead a passionate team that combines traditional, time-tested signage techniques with cutting-edge, modern print technology. We aren’t just sign-makers; we are brand builders who care deeply about the success of the Southern Alberta businesses we partner with.
Nationally Recognized, Locally Crafted
We don’t just talk about quality—we deliver it, and the industry agrees. We are incredibly proud to announce that we recently brought home three 1st Place National Awards at the SpeedPro Canada Great Sign Contest!
- 1st Place – 2026- Dimensional Signage: We won top honors for fabricating and installing massive, eye-catching Channel Letters for DieseLR. When you need your brand to literally stand out and light up the skyline, dimensional signage is the ultimate solution. LED signs are the trend of the future.
- 1st Place -2026 Large Outdoor Signs: We transformed a standard exterior cooler into a vibrant, brand-perfect billboard for Wendy’s with a custom exterior reskin. We know how to engineer materials to withstand Alberta’s intense weather while keeping your branding crisp, bold and refreshed.
- 1st Place – 2026 Best Original Design: We took home the gold for our custom Crashkit 3M vehicle wrap. A great vehicle wrap is a mobile billboard, and this original design showcases our team’s ability to turn a vehicle into an unforgettable marketing asset.
