Interstate Logos, L.L.C.

In June of 1988, Lamar Advertising Company formed a new division, Interstate Logos, to
diversify its’ operations into another type of sign business - Contract Logo Signing. Interstate
Logos has now grown to employ over 125 full-time individuals, currently managing the operation
of 20 logo sign companies, 10 TODS operations, a logo sign construction company, and a logo sign
fabrication operation. Additionally, several consulting engineering firms and consulting engineers
work with Interstate Logos and its’ local subsidiaries.
To date, Interstate Logos has submitted proposals for providing a logo signing program in 24 of
the 25 states that have made the decision to implement a private contract logo signing program since
the Company’s inception. Of the 24 submissions, Interstate Logos has been successful in obtaining
contracts with 19 of the states and the Province of Ontario. Each of the 7 states that have converted
from a state-run to a contract program, are operated by subsidiaries of Interstate Logos.
The prior and continued success of Interstate Logos is attributed to numerous factors, namely, the
qualified and experienced staff the Company employs, the autonomy of each local office, and Interstate
Logos’ understanding of the elements necessary to establish and maintain successful signing programs.
Our history of completion record in the 19 states where we currently operate, and the work completed
in the Province of Ontario, Canada, is indicative of the ability of Interstate Logos to manage several
projects simultaneously using our locally selected subcontractors.
Since June of 1988, Interstate Logos, as the prime contractor, has been ultimately responsible for
overseeing its’ subcontractors in the construction, replacement, and/or overlay of over 14,000 mainline
logo sign background panels and over 14,000 ramp logo sign background panels at a construction cost in
excess of $100 million. In addition, Interstate Logos has constructed over 10,500 TODS structures at a
construction cost in excess of $25 million.
Interstate Logos is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lamar Advertising Company. Lamar has outdoor
advertising profit centers located through 44 states, Canada, and Puerto Rico, employing over 3,200
people. In 2007, Lamar’s operations generated annual gross revenue in excess of $1 billion.
