Flat Face Signs
These types of signs are popular for their economy and quick turnaround
time. Faces can be easily swapped or even redecorated. Flat face signs
are popular for building sign cabinets, multi-cabinet pylon signs and
smaller secondary signage. Most any sign company will offer this kind
of product, but few can match the talent of Pierrepont Visual Graphics
in making these kinds of signs look good and function properly.
Many different looks can be achieved with flat faces. They can be incorporated
into architectural type signs and informational sign systems. Graphics
design on the face can be colorfully aggressive or tastefully restrained.
The biggest cost savings is gained by using a white face and single translucent
vinyl color for lettering. There is one drawback to this economical approach.
A white face can overpower its lettering when illuminated. Regular or
thin weight lettering can easily disappear when viewed at a distance.
Flat plastic face signs have some design limitations. Cabinets must have
adequate depth to prevent internal lighting "hotspots" behind
the face when viewed at night. This is a critical issue to consider when
using a flat face to replace an old or damaged vacuum formed face. Sizes
for flat faces are best limited to 4' X 8' and under. Some larger sizes
can be accommodated, but splicing methods may be necessary.
