The Buckle-Up Sign was designed by Joe Kujanik, a retired electronic engineer from Gary, IN.

Joe has been promoting the use of this logo for over 25 years in an effort to reduce the suffering, fatalities, and insurance costs resulting from automobile related injuries.  

He was inspired by an automobile accident he witnessed and hopes that his signs may have saved a few lives over the years.
