Typestries: Illuminated Signs, Channel Letters and Neon: March 2006 Archives

I grabbed this shot of a set of sign faces we installed for Bay Avenue Plant Company in Surf City on Thursday. The client had hoped for a dimensional, sandblasted sign with gold leaf. Because of site restrictions however, they were forced to use a double sided backlit sign. After consideration, our recommendation was to make the sign "look" dimensional while backlit at the same time. This job turned out great and is an excellent example of the fact that the faces for your backlit signs can be more imaginative and effective when you think beyond basic vinyl lettering.

"WE DO" custom neon window signs, display pieces and yes, even "OPEN" signs. Hey, did you know that most of the individual lit letters you see on storefronts are actually lit with neon? And yes, we can make those, too!

One of the indesputible benefits of neon is it's extreme visibility at night time. If you are looking to get your storefront noticed, interior neon in your windows would be an excellent choice. One added benefit: interior window neon bypasses most sign ordinances and local codes–which can give your business an edge without variances, approvals and the like.
