The classic channel letter project is the bread and butter of the average electric sign shop. Acrylic faces, trim cap, returns and backs; most experienced fabricators can knock these out in their sleep. I was recently commissioned to design a set of channel letters for a new restaurant in Texas that was allowed by code to have a sign that extended four feet over the top of the roof line of the business. In my years of experience in the industry, I have found that a lot of municipalities have restrictions on signs above rooflines. When the opportunity arises for a project like this, a simple channel letter job can become as technically challenging as a monument sign (Figure 1, photo above).
