This sign is 18"x60". I applied white vinyl to 1/4" white PVC board for the background. The white PVC yellows fairly quickly in the weather so should be painted or sheeted with vinyl for long term projects.
The letters are laser cut acrylic, the 1st two lines are 1/4", the bottom line 1/8". The acrylic is black, so the edges of the letters are black, the face of the letters are blue. It was done by spraying the acrylic with Krylon for plastic then after drying, transfer tape was applied, and the letters cut in reverse bottom side up. I used a plotter with pen in it to draw out the pattern for gluing them onto the board. That could have been done on the laser to, as I do on smaller ones, but in this case it would have had to be done in several pieces since my laser is only 12"x24".
I would like to see more members post a few of their sign projects here to give ideas to some of the newer sign makers.
