Lighted Sign Panel

How would you all do these lighted sign panels? I am worried about making sure the black looks good.. In the past we have layed black tranlucent and cut the logo out, then digitally printed the logo and layed on top

I don't see why that wouldn't be ideal. If that dark grey outline wasn't there you could do all cut vinyl.. but your way seems fine.

If you don't have equipment you trust, I would use translucent for everything but the little bees. The registering of the grey will be a little tiresome, but a much better and longer lasting job, in the end.

IMO that would look great if the black was actually opaque. Would make the logo stand out more from the center when lit and you will not have have the dull black translucent color.

if you're dual-layering transluscent prints like most shops do, two layers of black is opaque. if it were me, the grey's in my "base-layer" would be a bit lighter (if not borderline white) so that the toplayer's grey transluces....I might even add a bit of design to either the yellow text or the black background, like a honeycomb pattern, just for funsies.

p.s. Outlines are cool, but its not really "design" when overused.
