"I have different surfaces where my letters will be mounted. How can I still use your letters?"
This happens often. Not all buildings, or sidings, are created equally, but there is a solution: combining lettering types and styles to meet your specific needs.
The picture below shows formed plastic letters with vinyl letters. The customer used 15 inch and 6 inch Formed Plastic Building Letters and 12 inch Vinyl Lettering to achieve a professional look.
Formed plastic letters come with a lifetime guarantee against cracking, fading, peeling, etc. Vinyl lettering should last about 7 years under the manufacturer’s guarantee.
Both are easy to install. Formed plastic comes with four mounting options, and vinyl is a simple peel and stick application. Many colors, fonts and sizes are available for both types of lettering.
It is not always possible but when installing sign letters of different types you would want the sign letters to have a flush reveal. That is, the face of the sign letters are on the same plane.
Most different lettering types have different depths, some letters will stand off the wall more than the other. For example, the 6 inch letter will stand off the wall 1/2 inch and the 15 inch will stand off the wall 1-1/2 inch.
A trick of the trade is to add spacers to the back of the sign letters to give them more depth.

How does one name his or her boat? Choosing the right name for a boat sign leaves many nautical thrill seekers nervous that they won't be able to settle on the appropriate one. There are various opinions when it comes to the subject, but getting the name right can often be the difference between proudly navigating the waters and floating with a name that not only the owner but, the passengers as well are embarrassed about. Boat signs, while they may seem like a relatively unimportant aspect of seafaring, can add a whole new identity to voyages.

Alphabet Signs can make letters, numbers and punctuation in several colors, fonts and sizes. We are not setup to handle logos or graphics, however. To get these made, you will need to try a local sign shop. Some common chains are Signs by Tomorrow, Signarama or FastSigns. Any of those companies should be able to help with larger graphics, too, as we are only set up to handle vinyl lettering up to 12 inches tall.
