I didn't take too many pictures of this. I didn't get any of the Frames or Brackets somehow. Here is a few I found.

Very nice! Good to see something on here that wasn't printed! What is the glowing skipping rope stuff?

Haha, the Skip-Rope is Sloan FlexiBrite. The blue reatails for around $50 per linear foot. I used just under 30ft. for this sign. The Blue and Green cost 2x what the white, red and orange cost.

Also, at 300 lumens/ft. for the Auraura G2G modules that I overstuffed the SUSHI letters with, we had to dim down to about 20%. Those things are so effing bright, it would have caused car wrecks.

I'm curious about the custom vacuum formed letters. You say Gemini made them? What did that service cost?

I have a Vacuum forming machine and I'd offer my services to sign shops if there was any money/demand for it.

I'd have to check the Gemini catalog for that pricing. I know they charge 2x to add the leds and supply a 60 watt power supply. Custom font letters that size I think were about $90 each retail. I charged the same 2x to light them and it only cost about $100 for the modules and then $40 each for two power supplies, and $40 each for two dimmers. 5 letters SUSHI(x2) plus leds and power, I invoiced that portion at $1800.
