About the Item
An early Think IBM sign from the estate of a former IBM employee. His name is written on the back. It has brackets so the sign can be mounted on a wall.
A classic piece of corporate design history, this vintage IBM “THINK” sign features bold black lettering set against a clean white background, framed in warm wood. The iconic slogan is long associated with IBM’s culture of innovation and problem-solving. Subtle aging and patina add character, hinting at decades of use in offices or workspaces where ideas were meant to be challenged and refined. Both a nostalgic artifact and a timeless reminder, the sign feels equally at home in a modern studio, a tech office, or a collector’s display of mid-century corporate memorabilia.
