Best way to build a seamless sign for larger logo.

Biggest channel letters with no seams in the face that I've handled were for Atwoods, 12' tall, flex face extrusion kerf cut and welded into shape. It's totally doable, but it makes the cost for one letter exceed the cost for a cabinet of even a slightly larger size. Excellart does offer this service in house, though I've never ordered anything they cut, just kerf cut them ourselves.

Yeah, I'd started to answer this, then got pulled away, came back and finished it up, then poof. I'm guessing it's got something to do with DOGE cutbacks.

Don't apologize, I was enjoying Burtons random answer to an empty post. This happened a few years ago with a different member named Andy D.... It became a pretty entertaining thread that day.

Did you find a better answer elsewhere?
If I'm not mistaken, these style letters are typically used on stadiums and the like, where a large uniform face is desired, and money is no object. Not sure why Atwoods opts for it, those signs are a pita to install and service. Last one we received was wind whipped between the fab shop and here, so it needed a new face printed, clipped, and installed. Someone else got the replacement work, I was not disappointed. Here's a video of the workers installing letters at SoFi stadium. This was the only thing I could find to give an impression of the actual scale of these things...
