Don,

Making a backlit sign is pretty easy. All you need a a sheet of frosted lexan or plexiglass and a computer program such as Print Shop or something similar that can make a banner style sign. I prefer using a black or dark, electric blue background and 3-D gold letters. The sign is lighted from the back with small, florescent lights that reflect from Reynolds aluminum foil. I saw one at a gig one night and the person that made it provided me with the details. Not much to it, the cost was less than $30 for materials and it took just a few hours to make. I priced a similar sign at a sign shop and they wanted $1,500 to make the same sign.

I made a small one for the front of my keyboard and it only took 20 minutes on the computer. When I have a chance, I post some photos via Donny.

Cheers,

Gary
