I think I've seen this in a magazine. I love this kinda work, even though I have the capacity to do it I have yet a need to do it. No one around here has ever requested this type of stuff. Everyone want the boring neon stuff that lights up :hitbyrock: give me a break :smilie_auslachen:

SHOW ME YOUR LIGHTnING BOLT!

Hey there you had better watch it. The fella that runs this tavern doesnt care for folks that talk smack on neon.

Jo Anne that is my kind of sign right there. Nice and simple looking yet classy and somewhat complicated. I am not a great fan of HDU, but as with so many other materials used within the sign trade it does have a handy nitch as with the key part of the sign.

I visited my sister's place in the Rockies for Christmas and got to take in a huge amount of dimensional signage. Most mountain/touristy spots got ahead of the curve and established bylaws restricting many types of illuminated signage (typically exposed neon and fluorescent boxes, many even channel letters). It was a treat to take in the precision and craft involved in many of the signs. I'm so sick of rectangles with text on them, especially ones showing hotspots from the fluorescent tubes.

I recently had the opportunity to discuss a similar type of sign in Colorado, where the sign shop was going to layer a combination of routed HDU around one of our light panels, which for all intents and purposes, is the middle layer of a ~3" thick suspended storefront sign. The city and the sign shop loved the fact that they got to allow for a tastefully lit sign that was fully in keeping with their sign codes... just waiting to see if the customer is going to proceed.

      Mounting Signs On EIFS

      By Rocco · Posted

      It depends on what's under the EIFS.   If it's plywood under the foam, then toggles are fine for a lightweight sign.  If masonry, we've come to like the titen HD (simpson strong tie brand) anchors or long wedge anchors.   The Titen HD screws are more user friendly than tapcons IMO.   They come in a variety of sizes, sometimes even at the big home centers.   Just check to see if it's densglass (fiberglass wall panels) under the foam.  Engineeners have told us that densglass isn't "structural" and that things need to be thru-bolted with uni-strut (or equal) sleepers across studs inside the wall.  A few years back, we were called out for an emergency call where someone had installed some large raceway channel letter signs to an EIFS wall that had densglass behind.  They used lag screws.  These held for a while but a heavy snow caused them to fail.   And toggles should work with Densglass but again not for any heavy loads.    In any case don't compress the foam too much.  A sleeve (mentioned above) would be needed for whatever the depth of the foam might be, though probably not needed for something light like an ACM panel.   if it's a really small sign, then appropriate exterior screws are usually OK going into plywood.

      Pepsi logo vinyl colors

      By Rocco · Posted

      Hi   Can anyone tell me the right color red and blue translucent vinyl for the "new" Pepsi logo?  We have a local ice cream spot that recently changed from Coke to Pepsi and we have to replace the graphics on a couple of lit cabinets.   The customer sent me the logo in various formats but it didn't specify the correct colors.   I've searched but keep getting CYMK, etc. for the older logo - 2022 or so.   Thanks!
