We installed this a couple weeks ago. It is not the layout I originally presented (customer had me change it) but I thought I would share anyway.
Posts are PT Pine. Inner area is PT Pine with routed area to insert sign itself which is 3/4" MDO and vinyl. The finials are PT pine from Home Depot and the post decorations are made from scraps of HDU.
This is my first sign I painted with the HVLP gun and I learned a lot from one side to the next. Think I figured some things out.
Mark, I agree. Below is my original layout. They wanted the words all the same size. Can't win them all!

Amy, this turned out really nice. Very clean for a simple institutional type sign. The craftsmanship on the posts and decor look great! The only thing I would critique would be the kerning in Mental Health...a little too much space between TA and LT and maybe that line is a tad close to the border on each end.

Amy, you do very fine work. That is a clean very well layed out and produced sign. I liked your design better, but you still made it work. Great job!

Hey Amy that looks great. I've enjoyed watching your work progress since you hooked up to this site. Guess I should quit "lurking" here & become a member myself. Been too busy lately to even use the net much. Hey can I borrow (steal) that shape for some builder signs? Again, NICE sign - Carl

You are on the right road girl, enjoy the ride. You are building a great portfolio, which will pay off.
