Ideas for Radio Station Display Sign

I will be putting a sign in my yard letting people know what station to tune to.. I was also wanting to let everyone know the times when the shows can be seen. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make a nice, tasteful sign?

Chris,

I made one from 1X2s, Coro, PVC pipe and a couple of PVC end caps. I cut the PVC pipe lengthwise a couple of times on my table saw to make an opening, leaving about 2/3 of the pipe. I mounted 4 clear C9 lights inside to flood the sign from above. I painted the outside of the pipe black so it would not glow from the lights.

I used my wifes Cricut craft cutting machine to make the letters and glued them to a piece of coro for the sign. The Halloween sign was done with paper letters that I sealed with clear coat, but they faded and curled some as you can see in the picture.

For my Christmas sign I got some Cricut black vinyl adhesive material to use in her machine, this worked great and held up well. The black letters show up very well against the white coro.

I take it you don't get very high winds during Winter?

Yes I do. We had winds up to 60 Mph. Sign points faces south.

You cannot see the tie down straps in the picture. The end stakes are 48" long with 1/2 in the ground.
Did not budge.
