Typically, they range from three to Five inches deep.

All of our Illuminated signs come with a 1 year warranty, includes Parts and Labor, but are designed to last 10 years or longer.
We also offer extended warranties on some products.
I want an unusual color for my signs . Can you produce it?

How much Electricity will my sign use?
Signs VW uses only high quality - low voltage LEDs so the average sign will use less energy than one conventional light bulb.
I have a Budget for my project Can you work with me?
Absolutely! We will work within your budget and see that you get the biggest bang for the buck and that your sign looks good! We can show you some low-cost projects we’ve completed so you can see for yourself what can be accomplished on a modest budget.
Who long does it take to make and install a sign?
The time needed to make and install your sign depends on the type of sign and the permitting challenges. For most electric signs, allow two to Three weeks after the permit is approved. We do everything in house so we have control over the timeline. Our automated processes, lean manufacturing, and other efficiencies shorten production time — this means we can get the completed sign to you in record time. Smaller signs that do not require a permit can be delivered much more quickly.
Do I need a permit for my sign?
Most exterior signs will require a sign permit and an electrical permit. Unlike an electrical permit, sign codes are different in every municipality. Some cities can take from two to 4 weeks to issue a regular permit. We can handle variances, historical districts and any special requirements you may have. We currently maintain Contractor’s Licenses in over 60 municipalities across Florida, and we’re very experienced in working with local Building departments.
Our full-time Permitting Technician will do initial code research to see what signs and sizes will be allowed. Please note that you may also need a Landlord Approval. They will make sure that our design follows the Sign Criteria, which is usually included in the lease documents. A Landlord Approval needs to be included in the permit application.
Is all your signs made in house?
Over 90% of our signs are totally made in-house, but we find that it occasionally makes sense to sub-contract out some specialty work. We bring in specialized help when we need it, allowing us to complete the most difficult jobs. That makes our operation more efficient, and our signs more affordable.
What is the best way of sending you my logo or artwork?
For your sign to look its best, our designers need to start with the highest quality logos and artwork that you can provide. If possible, please locate the original files that your graphic designer sent you. It’s likely that they provided a few different versions, including vector-based files (which we prefer). The 2 most common formats include *.ai (Adobe illustrator), *.eps (Encapsulated Post script). The logos and photos used on your website are very likely to be too small and low-resolution to be useful for your sign.
You may need to contact your graphic designer and ask to have the files sent to us directly. You could go ahead and upload them to a file sharing site such as Dropbox or Google Drive, and then send us the download links.
How will I know my sign will look like?
The project quote you receive from signs V W will include a photo-realistic rendering of how your installed sign will look from street level. We can also provide to special projects a detailed 3D view that lets you see the proposed sign from any angle.
