Had this job in permit before I went to Dans workshop and was not quite sure how I wanted to pull off the rusty finish they asked for. Could have used steel but that would have required a crane for installation and they were concerned about it rusting out. The cabinet is 1/8" aluminum with Sophisticated finishes iron - 5 coats and the acid wash. The logos are 2" HDU with an overall convex shape all routed as one piece and finished with acrylics. I wanted to go thicker but reached the end of their budget with this. I plan on getting better pics when they complete the landscaping - or I could cheat Dan style with photoshop

I love the sign Brian! It looks massive and heavy! It will be interesting to see how the iron paint holds up on the aluminum... did you prime it first??
Is the sign mounted in leaning or is it just the picture??? (I like the lean.)

Yes, primed with Matthews metal primer - sticks really well. The sign is plumb but the ground slopes giving that look - the lean would be a great idea though.

That is great looking! The angled top helps the leaning illusion. Very nicely done.
