Many of the materials used in Sign Building today are amazingly light and durable.  In this video you'll see a wonderful example of using multiple materials to create a dimensional  lobby sign with a highly polished look that gleams with fresh modern colors and pops off the wall with eye catching design.  Light but durable custom painted gator foam with back painted acrylic was used for the base of the sign components, and brushed aluminum affixed to PVC and topped with custom routed acrylic letters. http://youtu.be/jmgoqwTv7JE If you're in the Irvine/Newport/Costa Mesa area and want to see some really great examples of lobby signs stop by our showroom.
