Biggest set of channel letters in the world?

[YYZ]

I've seen some massive letters around, Vegas etc... but I'm trying to get an idea what the biggest set of channel letters are that you're aware of.

We're working with a customer whose letters are 25 feet tall (at the caps) and across the whole set, it reaches just shy of 500 feet. Anyone know of a set of letters that woudl top these?

THere was a large set of channel letters being built for the top of Mighty Ducks stadium in Orange County, CA so the planes flying over could see the stadium - they were about that big - was pretty crazy.

Yeah, they dd that on the roof of Staples Center in LA, Toyota Center in Houston, some German stadium. None of those would be as large, though- this would be at least double that size.

Those letters only look about 10 feet tall and maybe 80 feet across, same as the wall mounted ones it seems. Lotsa bigger signs than that.

According to Wikipedia, the Hollywood sign is about 200 feet across - so these would be more than twice as long

Atlantic City has some gigantic letters on Trumps buildings. I would guess at 40+ feet. He always likes to do things bigger than everyone else.

How big are the letters on the TD tower in Toronto?

Really big. 40 feet tall or so. There's letters that large in Vegas also - but in terms of number of letters and total size, I can't think of anything bigger. Probably on some rooftop in Singapore for all we know...

Trump's new Toronto building is more than halfway to its total height, though I don't recall seeing any fancy signage in the renderings. It has a slightly NY style spire though.

I know what you meant and I answered "really big" - but the Trump talk confused things a little. Even the TD pieces aren't really letters, per se - it's a 4 sided set of logos with A LOT of exposed neon. I live about 20 miles from that tower, and while you can't make out the logo, that sign is one of the brightest things downtown. It was recently redone, wasn't it - last year sometime? Thing was BRIGHT for a month or so till it burned in.

From this pic - it looks 13' x 15' or so.

I think IKEA stores have some of the biggest letters.

Never thought about IKEA. There's one by Newark Airport. I dont get over there that often but will try and remember next time over there. Google images have a shot and they only look about 10 - 12 ft but are really thick strokes. I do know they are lit with lamps.

There is a 4 sets of 18 ft letters going up on a bank in N. Carolina. CL71 on 3" centers with 60mA
