Built For Athletic & Event Environments
ModStar™ is engineered specifically for athletic facilities and event venues where durability, safety, and ease of use are essential. The unique coroplast A-frame construction is designed to collapse upon impact and quickly return to its original shape, helping create a safer environment for athletes, participants, and spectators.
Unlike rigid sign systems that can become hazards during play, ModStar™ provides outstanding visibility while maintaining a player-friendly design suitable for athletic sidelines and event spaces.
Unlimited Branding Flexibility
Each ModStar™ section measures approximately 34" high by 48" wide and can be used as a standalone display or linked together to create larger continuous branding systems.
The modular design allows schools and event organizers to create everything from individual sponsor signs to complete sideline advertising programs stretching across an entire field, track, or event venue. As sponsorship programs grow, additional sections can be added without replacing existing signage.
High-Visibility Graphics That Get Noticed
ModStar™ graphics are printed using premium UV Ultra-Brite™ inks engineered to deliver vibrant colors, sharp logos, and excellent long-range visibility.
Whether showcasing sponsor branding, school logos, tournament graphics, donor recognition, or promotional messaging, the full-color printing process helps create a professional appearance that stands out throughout the venue.
The graphics attach using heavy-duty hook-and-loop fasteners, making it easy to update sponsors, refresh messaging, or replace graphics without replacing the entire sign system.
Easy Setup, Storage & Transportation
ModStar™ was designed for programs that need professional branding without complicated installation requirements.
The lightweight A-frame sections deploy quickly, fold flat for compact storage, and ship conveniently via standard UPS service. Installation options include ground stakes for natural turf applications or sandbags for additional stability in windy conditions.
This combination of portability and flexibility makes ModStar® ideal for schools, tournaments, traveling events, and multi-use athletic facilities.

Turn Events Into Sponsor Revenue
ModStar A-frame signs are one of the most versatile sponsor activation tools for athletic programs, schools, and event organizers. Position them at registration areas, along walkways, at sponsor activation zones, or anywhere you need visible, portable branding.
The modular design makes sponsor programs simple. Each 4ft section can display a different sponsor logo. Link sections together for larger displays at major events, then break them apart for smaller setups at away games or community functions. Because graphics attach with hook and loop fasteners, you can swap sponsor panels in minutes between events or seasons.
Programs typically use ModStar signs across multiple sports and events throughout the year, creating year round sponsor exposure from a single frame investment. Sell individual sign panels to local businesses to generate revenue that offsets event and program costs.

Let customers speak for us
from 13 reviewsIt looks great- and the quality is way better than expected. Sorry it was a bit of a hassle. Thanks again!!!
We ordered windscreens to help advertise our new residential development, and they turned out great. Todd Simms was extremely helpful every step of the way—whether it was design, shipping, or answering any questions we had. Overall, excellent customer service and a great product.
Corey I want to thank you for your patience throughout this entire process. You have been fantastic and I am extremely excited to see how these look. Thank you so much.
I chose BigSigns.com because I was impressed that they have worked with major colleges all over the U.S., and their prices were very reasonable. I absolutely loved working with Mario in sales. I'll admit, I probably wasn't the easiest customer due to my indecisiveness, but he was incredibly patient and helped make the process smooth from start to finish. The team completely nailed our project, and I already recommended them to others. The final result over-exceeded my expectations. This was a big-time project for a smaller school, and my goal was to have people see it and be wowed. Mission accomplished!
Mario, we used the banner as a backdrop for a trade show last weekend. It was a huge success!
We received our step and repeat a couple of days ago and it turned out great!!!! Thank you for your patience working with me until I made a decision on a design. We actually took it to a job fair yesterday and had people comment on it. In fact, I just sent your contact information to a gentleman from Amherst ISD. His name is Jose Gonzales. I hope he contacts you because he seemed very interested. I will definitely refer others to you in the future as well. Once again, thank you for all you did for us. I know we will get many uses out of it.Thanks- Jarod
Let me start off by saying the signage is even more impressive in person than in your brochures or mock ups, which is hard to do. I love most everything about it. Also appreciate you guys busting your ass to get it done for our regionals tomorrow. You should feel free to use me as a reference if desired. The back of the scoreboard was done as well and looked fantastic. The back of the dugout was also done and looked great. Pretty impressive really. Thanks
Over 400,000 runners will cross a Rock n Roll Marathon or 1/2 Marathon finish line, all of them crossing a BigSigns GatorAd finish line, specially formulated as non-slip safe no matter the weather! Thank you, BigSigns!
BigSigns.com's ModStar gave us the ease of use, customization, and portability we needed. Modstar displayed sponsors for all seventeen nation-wide Game Breakers events; we are now repurposing the existing frames with new branding for our Copa-de-Calle events.
Just wanted to let you know HOW FANTASTIC the banner is. We have had so many compliments on this banner. Thank you!!!
This is Stevie Medina with the Raton Tiger booster club over in Raton. I just wanted to say thank you for those on deck circles. They're amazing. We gave them out to the softball team and the baseball team. And they were super stoked to get them. They loved them. A lot of the kids like, what are those? Those are so cool. Those are so neat. So they really got a kick out of them. Appreciate you. How quickly you guys turn those around. Boy, we had them super fast. I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you much. And no need to return my phone call. I just wanted to let you know that we're enjoying them. And we appreciate all your help on it.
Ordered a door skin for our volleyball program. Customer service department was great ensuring the order was completed correctly in the end. Design team was accommodating with changes & requests to create a great final product!
We have done business with you in the past and have been pleased with your work. I will stop by your booth if I have an opportunity.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do ModStar A-frame signs hold up in wind and weather?
ModStar frames are made from 4mm coroplast (twin wall polypropylene) that is naturally water resistant and lightweight. For outdoor events, use the included ground stakes or add sandbag weights to the base for stability in windy conditions. Graphics are printed with UV resistant inks that maintain color through sun exposure and rain. The coroplast frame will not rust, rot, or corrode, making it suitable for repeated outdoor use across multiple seasons.
Can I reuse ModStar frames with different graphics for different events?
Yes. The frame and graphics are separate components connected by hook and loop fasteners. Order multiple graphic sets for different sports, sponsors, or events and swap them in minutes without tools. The coroplast frame is reusable season after season. This makes ModStar ideal for programs that run multiple events throughout the year and need to rotate branding or sponsor messaging.
What are the best options for event signage?
The best event signage options depend on your specific needs, but the most versatile choices include: A-frame signs for directional guidance and sponsor displays (ideal for sidelines, registration areas, and wayfinding), retractable banner stands for booth displays and indoor events, fabric backdrops for photo opportunities and stage branding, and modular display systems for trade shows and conferences. For athletic events specifically, BigSigns.com's ModStar® A-frames are designed with padded edges for safety and durable aluminum construction that withstands outdoor conditions. The best event signage combines portability, durability, and high visual impact.
What type of event signs work best for outdoor sporting events?
For outdoor sporting events, you need signage that can withstand wind, weather, and repeated setup/teardown. The best outdoor event signage options include: weighted-base A-frame signs that won't blow over, padded A-frames for sideline safety near players and spectators, mesh banners that allow airflow in windy conditions, and ground stake signs for field perimeters. BigSigns.com's ModStar event signs feature heavy-duty aluminum frames with weighted bases specifically designed for football sidelines, soccer fields, and outdoor athletic events.
How do I choose event signage for a school or athletic facility?
When choosing school event signage, consider these factors: safety (padded edges are essential for sideline signs near athletes), durability (aluminum frames outlast plastic), portability (lightweight options that staff can easily set up), branding consistency (matching school colors and logos), and versatility (signs that work for multiple sports and events). For athletic facilities, A-frame signs are the most popular choice because they're freestanding, double-sided, and can be moved between venues. Budget $200-500 per A-frame for commercial-quality school event signage that will last multiple seasons.
What event signage is best for trade shows and conferences?
For trade shows and conferences, the most effective event signage solutions include: retractable banner stands (portable, professional, and set up in seconds), fabric backdrop displays (seamless graphics perfect for photo ops), tabletop displays for booth counters, and hanging banners for overhead visibility. Key considerations for trade show signage are portability (must fit in your vehicle or ship easily), setup time (staff should be able to install without tools), and visual impact (large graphics that stand out in crowded exhibit halls). BigSigns.com offers custom trade show signage with carrying cases and quick-assembly designs.
How quickly can event signage be produced?
Standard event signage production takes 5-7 business days from design approval to shipment. For rush orders, BigSigns.com offers expedited production as fast as 2-3 business days for most A-frame signs and banner stands. Trade show deadlines and event dates are always considered, contact us with your event date and we'll confirm turnaround time. Design services are included at no extra charge, which can save 1-2 days compared to preparing your own print-ready files.
Can event signs be customized with our logo and sponsor graphics?
Yes, all BigSigns.com event signage is fully customizable with your logos, sponsor graphics, team colors, and messaging. Our design team can create layouts that maximize visibility for multiple sponsors on a single sign, or produce clean single-brand displays. For athletic events, many facilities use double-sided A-frames with different sponsors on each side to maximize revenue. We provide digital proofs for approval before production, so you can see exactly how your custom event signage will look.
