Frisch, by 1954, decided to sell Frisch Big Boy burger bars as franchises. However, with not much in the way of brand guidelines, every Big Boy sign has a unique design. This is based on a version of the sign in Columbus, Ohio. The only concession was to change the statue to a more recent one and with the addition of the hat, which was a traditional part of the character that was dropped in later years.
