That is a "Halo Illuminated - Reverse Channel Letter" First you need electrical access, it is a drop ceiling? Access from the back? That is not aluminum faced foamcore and I don't recommend that, that is an aluminum or stainless steel reverse channel letter... To stand it off the wall, you...

Youtube and a few sites do have some instruction but I made a little how to guide... I had a client where grunge was a big deal and almost every pattern I made was based on the few steps I show here - after a while you get really fast at it...

Before sending any artwork to commercial printer, I always print it out full size for review. If it does not read well like that, it won't be much better when you get your cards. On designing business cards, do research... yeah we all know what business cards look like, but looking at other...

I only layout/design signs but deal with quotes and estimates. Through the years I have kept track of the time it takes and have incorporated that time into my hourly rate. I looked at your site and see you have been doing this since 1981, I'm sure most of the estimates you get are very similar...

There is a reason why DOT/Highway signs have reflective copy and background. I looked for the DOT reflective study but it's no longer available online, you probably would not have read it anyway, it's a long boring read, but it shows clearly that reflective background and copy reads better at...

You mention channel and/or halo illuminated letters... Doesn't it depend on the situation? Why would you pin mount when you already have to access the back for electrical through a pass thru... butterfly bolts is how you would mount them in most situations - other options depending on...

I design signs for projects all over the country so they usually get shipped and no-one knows who's going to attach it. I barely trust sign installers to space letters correctly let alone sign muggles. I think there are too many things that can go wrong when that many letters need to be spaced...
