Screen print on yellow vinyl

I've always done it with the darker color closer to the letter as though it's "deeper" in the shadow.

No and I don't see any need to specify that my design files are my property.

How about a welded aluminum angle frame with a flatbed printed ACM or even 3/8" coro sign bolted in place. The sign can be switched out whenever it starts to show wear.

It's all taxed here.

Your sketch doesn't look vintage do a little research on hand lettered signs from the era you are recreating

When we had a bucket we also added a couple brackets sticking out from the bottom of the bucket so one guy could hold it while going up.

I think Kilz would work or maybe Chromatic Universal Primer. Tint it to make it easier to cover.

A refurbed hpz6100 or 6200 would fit the bill. Very reliable machines and lots of media available for them.

I use this guy. lordbyroninc@att.net 203-287-9881 He still fabricates sewn banners with webbing, reenforced corners etc in whatever stock colors are still available

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but if the face is 1/4" smaller all the way around that means the face is cut .5" shorter. Doesn't the face sit on the bottom of the frame? So the 1/4" may be distributed evenly on the sides but on the top its 1/2"(unless you're using a hanger bar)

Pretty cool

Layout the letters on coro panels, butting the panels together and temporarily tape them together. Put line up marks where the panels butt. Make your stud marks and break the panels down. On site start on the left and work your way across one panel at a time.

So learn how to weld and powder coat, then you'll be a complete sign company.

So let the customer buy them and you supply the signs.

Here's the post have the circle routed and sheet with vinyl https://signpostamerica.com/black-real-estate-sign-posts.html

I'd use 3/4" MDO and sign hangers. And write in the proposal and invoice that the client is responsible for the install. A swinging sign should be heavy enough to not whip around in the wind. And should be installed without check chains. They only create problems by wracking the sign in the wind.

I got some really nice ones from Test-Rite, but quite a few suppliers have them

I'm not worried about my reputation, but I hate losing money/wasting time. Installing someone elses crap graphics can only lead to problems. We will install corporate graphics kits for clients, but that's a whole different animal.

This is like the unhappy poster who loudly that "we're a bunch of jerks and I will never darken you door again". Just ignore the posts that you don't want to be involved in. I for one love the font id, and I too only use it as a back up to my search. I've only stumped the committee once.
