We just had this one installed at an amusement park. Materials were mostly HDU cut by hand on MDO. Letters were coated with Dura Coat finish. The shirt and hat graphic was an edge print.
Overall size approx. 30 inches x 96 inches.

Critiques are welcome.

Very nice. Looks like you have two layers of MDO? What did you use for a border? Do you have a close-up of the details? I'm with Karen, what's something like that go for in your neck of the woods?

Very nice presentation, and to the point. The only thing I would change would be the 45% angles on the main board to sweeping scallops of some kind, keeping with the theme that is on the top. I would probably also have hand painted the hat and shirt just for the longevity factor. Very nice work. Jack

Thanks for all the great comments.

The sign was designed & fabricated in our shop.

Karyn, because we work for the park as an in house sign dept., we don't sell directly to the public, however we do have to stay within budgets and do cost estimates for other departments.
Because we are a two person shop we also sub-out some work to local shops

Peter, the only layer of MDO was for the background, all other layers were HDU. The maroon border was also HDU. The sign was clear coated which gave it that wet glossy look.
