Dan Antonelli, President and Creative Director
Graphic D-Signs founder Dan Antonelli has always had a flare for design and advertising since childhood when he could be found hand-lettering trucks or sprucing up his mother’s washing machine with its own hand-painted brand identity.
In 1997, he turned that passion into Graphic D-Signs Inc., one of New Jersey’s most successful advertising agencies catering mainly to small- and mid-sized companies.
Dan has been recognized by leading print, Web and sign publications, having received various awards and honors for his work. He has written dozens of articles on print, Web and logo design for leading graphic design publications. He’s also the author of two logo design books - Logo Design for Small Business and Logo Design for Small Business 2 which have become the industry standard for small businesses looking to improve their business identity. He is regularly asked to speak at industry events and trade shows regarding advertising and design for small business.
