Changeable letters in white ?

[Tony McD]

I'm working up a quote and the sign will require letter track with 10" tall white numbers on 12" tall clear background.
My suppliers offer red and black, but didn't see white.

Will need three of each 0-9
12" clear background
10" tall white numbers

Anyone know if there is a supplier for these?
Can always make my own if needed.
Thank you

Out of sincere curiosity..... how will white work on a clear background ??

Is this clear face overtop of some dark opaque surface ?? It can't be backlit, huh ??

+1 - most companies offer 'moon-glo' which is reversed out panels

The sign background is vivid blue, so black or red letters won't show up too well.
Pretty much the normal clear lexan changeable letters....except the numbers need to be white.
I'm finding black and red.

not finding white either - since all you need is numbers (so probably only a total of 40 tiles max) it would be easy enough to make

To me, I think you're gonna have more this effect, than what you are expecting. The only way your method will work, is if the numbers are cut out of the background color, which will not work if they are to be changeable.

Oh wait, it's not backlit. Okay. :Oops:


Why not just print them out and and not worry about clear ?? Just make them the same color background and use white vinyl or decals/

This is for a big company that has one of these signs at their Nashville location.
Now they want one at every location, and they are to be made by each locations sign guy.
I was asked to re-create the sign for the business in my area.

Here's a partial image of the one in Nashville.

That's a good option Gino, hadn't thought of that.

Looks like by the length of that track, they're expecting a long accident free campaign.

Did you try to upsell them with you could make them all, keep the uniformity and probably save them a ton of money ??

 

[Tony McD]

Yea...they're thinkin' big! Plus they are putting two colors of strobe lights on it.
In reality, it probably only needs enough track for three, maybe four numbers.

They are welding up the posts and adding strobe lights on top, they just asked me for the signs and numbers.
Think I will actually be making two of these...one for another location also.

Try Quality Image out of Paramount Ca. I ordered from them a few months ago. They have numerous large company's in their files already. I had to order some Shell changeable letters. They had exactly whay I was looking for on file with minor modifications. They were clear background with white printed letters just like your looking for
