if you decide on using gemini for your letters have them supply you with a full scale layout. you can have them pounce the pattern or DIY. you can also have someone with a CNC router cut the letters for you, it you want a color, as jill mentioned *place vinyl on the sheet prior to having them cut, they will also be able to make you a full scale pattern.
I believe harbor is 5.95 per letter, complicated logos can be as much as $25 per.
You have to commit to a full sheet, but there service has worked well for us.
Submit a quote request (which you have to do anyway) and you'll know.
We add standard shapes and letters and such to fill a sheet, we can do quick jobs with some rectangles, placques, warning signs etc with the waste.

I didn't bother to read every response so sorry if this has already been said.
When we created letters in-house we would cut the letters out of vinyl with an inline so they were slightly smaller then the dimensional letters. That way when you put the lettering up it hides the vinyl. We used a color as close to the lettering color or black/grey (shadow color). The amount of inline depended on the thickness of the tape and size of the letter. If the letters were large and we would only use a 1" section of the top and bottom of the letter for the stencil. That way the VHB tape made direct contact with the wall. The weight of a letter can pull vinyl off the wall over time. I your taping up letters and there's room for a dab of silicon/powergrab... use it. If the letters are large and heavy your best bet is to use studs. Nothing beats a mechanical mount, especially, if the letters are overhead and you want to sleep at night.
