Our Story

The Evolution of Our Brand

Let me be honest... “Change is the NAME of the GAME!” Harcourt Outlines was started in 1956 in an old chicken house with a dirt floor. My brother and business partner, Joe Harcourt, was 5 years old and I was 3 years old when our dad, Conrad C. Harcourt, along with our mother (Norma S. Harcourt) and grandfather (Pick Harcourt) started printing outline maps on carbon master units for use on duplicating machines. School Name pencils were also sold as a secondary line.

As the demand for writing instruments and paper items has declined dramatically over the last 25 years, the need for a new product line became evident.  As a result, Window Graphics USA : A Harcourt Brand, came into existence in 2017.

Like many start-ups it took us a couple years to figure out just what works and what doesn't.  In the past we had all our graphics printed by an outside firm.  Since then, we have purchased wide format printers and do all of our own printing and installations. Window Graphics USA specializes in window graphics, desk graphics, and wall graphics. Through our journey, we have hired on more staff members and work as a cohesive team.

Our skilled staff stands ready to give you a quote, create your custom designs, print the graphics and do the installing. We specialize in jobs ranging from a couple of windows here and there to entire buildings needing complete window coverage. So, no need to hesitate, contact us today to start the process at your site!
