Our Story

Fifty-Five Years of Bringing Brands to Life

In 1971, Howard Furst saw an opportunity to help brands stand out through high-quality visual communication. What began as AAA Flag & Banner in a garage quickly grew into one of Southern California’s most recognized signage companies, including the opening of one of the industry’s first sign superstores on Pico Boulevard. By 1984, the company played a key role in the Los Angeles Olympics, helping transform an entire city through large-scale graphics and event branding.

When Craig Furst took the reins, he expanded that vision for a new era. By embracing emerging technologies and shifting the company’s focus toward large-scale projects, national brands, and complex visual environments, he helped redefine what the business could become.

Today, as A3 Visual, we partner with brands, venues, agencies, and organizations across the country to create impactful visual experiences at every scale. Backed by 55 years of expertise, 150+ in-house specialists, and nationwide capabilities, we continue to deliver the creativity, craftsmanship, and execution that have defined us from the very beginning.
