Bracket/hardware for ceiling mounted signs?

Attached is a pic a customer sent of an existing sign they have. They want something new a little bigger (probably 24" x 36") and it has to hang from a ceiling securely in a factory. What sort of other ceiling brackets/hardware are out there you can recommend? Something that is heavy duty and isn't going to swing. The substrate I'm thinking it has to hold is Max Metal (ACM). Thank you

Just a real easy type of T bar. You can buy them in 10ft. and cut to length or but them precut. Then a simple set screw to hold all in place. If you don't think the set screw will hold drill the material and put a small bolt through the ACM and the T channel.

Where could I find this T bar?

Just about any sign distributor will have corner or U type brackets made especially for ACM products.

This shows a few thicknesses.

I think the ones i the pic are the ones Gino is showing, but the other type is also good. The corners are pretty heavy duty though and if cost (not looks) is a concern they may be cheaper.
