Hello,

I am new and have been deocration for a couple weeks now. I need a sign to advertise my FM station. Anyone know where I can buy one?

Suggestions on how to make one? I may get some energy to make one.

Any help would be great.

Yes - very helpful. I see I need to make my own. I printed some letters off the printer. I am thinking about going with a different idea.

18X24 3/8 Inch plywood 2 pieces

Then I place the letters on the wood and draw them out.
Cut them out with a jig saw.
Place a thin plastic of any color over holes of the words on the inside.
Then place a couple lights inside.

This is the direction I am going to try.

Thank you

I would be interested in the price they give you. What dimmensions did you request?
Could you provide a little more information on what you requested.

I have a feeling it will be quite pricey. The wife was just saying you know you could sell these.... :(

Maybe next year dear...... My wmen would have me working everyday.... to funny.

I ordered a coreo sign and they did a great job for a good price.

Thanks I ordered one to see how it will look. I picked the real estate sign then designed it which took me a whole 15 minutes. I only ordered 1 sided for paint. 2 Sided was like 25.00 more..... Then I bought the wire frame too.

Earlier this year I did something with the light panels you can buy for making letters using mini's. I've seen people use them to promote the FM station. I thought why not make it like a highway construction sign - alternate messages to catch the attention of the viewers. I posted this on PC early in the year and many members really liked the idea. It needs 3 channels to operate, but the effect is worth it. Here is a video that shows the effect. Please excuse the blurring in the video - the compression did a number on it.

The sign size is 18 x 24. It is printed on a material that can be backlit. I believe the pricing is around $40 to $45. This does not include the hardware.

I had these printed up a few years back at speedy sign. I just took in a CD with the graphics and the fonts done in photoshop. The 2 back lit film cost me about 25 bucks each.

I had a local HVAC company bend me the sheet metal for the frames, and I put in an Fish Aquarium bulbs to light it up.


Edit this picture is not the best. The Sign has multi color on the trees.

I went to a local vinyl graphics shop. They're making a sign using the same material as political campaign signs. Pretty cost effective for me. Just using a low wattage flood light to light it up.

Here's what I did...

That was using Photoshop - then vinyl cut lettering on metal sign and standard real estate type frame. Then I added the chasing lights for effect and front lit with a pin spot.

The nice thing is because my wife is in the Embroidery, Screen Printing and Graphics business, I can now do the lettering in house on my own.

So, when it came time to customize a snowman I got from Michaels - all it took was colorplast and a great design along with my Roland GX24 DIgital Cutter!

Try your local Lowes or Home Depot. I found a blank 18 x 24 coro sign in the section with the for sale buy owner signs at Lowes. It cost me $6.00 for the blank sign and $2.00 for a pack of multi color sharpie markers!
