YESCO is a manufacturer of electric signs based in Salt Lake City, founded by Thomas Young in 1920.

[2] The young sign painter had left the United Kingdom just a decade earlier to immigrate with his family to Ogden, Utah.

In the beginning, his shop specialized in coffin plates, gold leaf window lettering, lighted signs and painted advertisements.

Upon its installation in 1951 over the Pioneer Club on historical Fremont Street, the 40'-tall electronic neon sign became Las Vegas's unofficial greeter.

[8] The sign uses 4,377,600 LEDs and the eraser is powered by a 300 horsepower (220 kW) motor at its base that runs a gear and cable system.

YESCO designed and installed the signs and light-up strips at Allegiant Stadium, the home of the Las Vegas Raiders and UNLV Rebels Football.

Born in Sunderland, United Kingdom, in 1895, Thomas Young was 15 years old when his family emigrated to Ogden, Utah.

A year later, in 1937, he moved his family and YESCO headquarters to Salt Lake City, Utah, and continued the business.
