ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an illuminated sign incorporating an enclosure to give the sign a three-dimensional perspective. A front panel of the enclosure includes a plurality of individual embossed characters which are translucent to light. The remaining portion of the front panel is opaque to light such that an illumination source within the enclosure only shines through the characters on the front panel of the sign. The front panel is spaced from a back panel by a side panel to form the enclosure. The front and back panels substantially follow the contour of each individual character except for a middle supporting portion such that it appears that each character is illuminated by a separate light source and that each character is spatially separate and distinct from each adjacent character.
