Title: Backlit store sign Lighting
Post by: 76&AmesfanmanBBTB on April 20, 2005, 07:30:43 PM
I know

I know this is a little minor topic but I have been seing this type of lighting very often on new stores

instead of having the letters being two sided on the store front with lighting between the the sign itself is either not lighted itself with lighting behind or the sign is one sided with lighting behind it below I provided an example  below created in power point

I like the type of sign Sears uses (also seen sprint and other use this) where it's blue during the daytime, and then it changes to white during night when the lights go on.
