I believe if I take the photo and scale it, it's more than a "couple of feet" More like 50 - Also looks like some measurements need verifying... This is where I would have an engineer calculate the existing sign - and even see if it's realistic to assume the foundation can take the added 52...

AMS did say he worked on a 50 footer...

Huh? I don't know what to say, so here's a rabbit with a pancake on his head,,,

My favorite sign is the "DIARRHEA" sign... maybe the box should say, anyone having diarrhea in the last 2 weeks are restricted from opening the container... I crack up at some peoples notion that California is LA/SF/SD... I live in one of the most backwoods cities on the planet that just so...

Now I'm confused by your statement... certain footers and depths can be limited in certain areas because of easements? And the state regulates that? I thought since 2014, the State of Virginia uses the same IBC code that the rest of the states use with only minor adjustments, and I incorrect...

Are you using a sign engineer? Ask the city first if it will fly, I think I would make a drawing of the original sign and reverse engineer that using all the information you currently have. Then add the new sign and calculate if the panel will work. Since your new sign is not as high, maybe it...

Doesn't it look like a Burger King sign? (oh Arbys!) If so, isn't that a square logo that would possibly make a square sign? It might be safe to say - after all the surveying and information that if that sign was square, and you essentially designed a sign with twice the area, that you have...

Oh great, a pissing contest. Are we gonna base it on distance, volume, PMS Yellow color match - or the fact that I've been pissing in footings for nearly 40 years. You can't tell what a footer is based on the grass.

I pray the OP knows this is the most unqualified statement I think I have ever read on this site, please ignore...

There are companies that specialize in as-built construction surveys, I just had one done for a historical building, it was not cheap... you should have a few companies near your area...

Every sign shop we work with outsource, not just our design services but various products they don't have room for, or the experience to do. Mostly ADA signs, larger monuments, billboards and nationwide fabrication, permitting and installs. But in order for it to be successful, you really need...

There is nothing funny about Composer... Now CorelDraw users... that's funny!

I worked in Composer as well... was also a Corel user back then... Now I work in Illustrator... There are two sayings that apply here... "The right tool for the right job" "You can't teach an old (salty) dog, new tricks"

First surface or second surface graphics/paint? I'm not a big fan of physical attachments on sign faces unless it's part of the design. On most brick/block/stucco applications I prefer an undersized backer, and physically attach that to the wall using countersunk hardware, then attach the face...

I believe the "CTS" bus system signs are done with Band-it straps. Like I said, every municipality/DOT/wayfinding sign I have ever worked on used the Band-It system, wether they were brackets where you bolt into or my preferred rail/strap method so there are no visible mounts. We usually called...

As already stated by Gino and verified by others, you want to make sure the pole can handle the extra stress. I have worked on quite a few municipality wayfinding projects where the poles had to be verified. We always called out Signfix by Idex and they worked like a charm...

Have you taken one down and opened it up? Looks custom to me. Do you have the capability to make these yourself? If not, finding a local vendor who can manufacture may be an option. Either way, I would take one down and see if they are using some type of extrusion. That might give you a clue.

I tend to agree with Gino and others about worrying about your overhead and pricing accordingly BUT... Who here can't make 4' x 8's, logo designs, magnets, sandwich boards... this is basic chit. Are you doing this all week long? Do you offer anything unique? If basic promotional signage is all...
