About Us
Kansas City's sign experts since 1990
Crafting Kansas City Signs Since 1990
Art of Illumination has been creating distinctive, high-quality signage for Kansas City businesses for over three decades.
Founded and led by Tony Hermelink, we bring together deep hands-on experience with a genuine passion for the craft. To us, every sign is more than a marker — it's the first impression your business makes on every customer who passes by.
A well-designed, well-built sign tells the world that you care about the details. It shows your clients that you are committed to excellence from the outside in.
We handle every stage of your project in-house: custom artwork and design, local permitting, fabrication, professional installation, and long-term maintenance. Whatever your vision — bold neon, clean channel letters, a towering pole sign, or something entirely custom — we have the skills and equipment to bring it to life.
