I did something similar with a clients logo but used a brushed aluminum. The price was $2500, for custom fabricated letters and the mark, with installation (the letters were pin-set into a marble wall) costing another $1200.
- I'd side with this pricing. We do a lot of it for real estate projectsMelanie
- Brushed aluminum is WAAAy more expensive than acrylic. And pin mounting is costly, especially off marble.

So, er.. given the size of my piece, the above picture is a bit useless - but take it as an idea of form.

Why not just email some company for a quote?
- +1 Prob not that expensive. Call some local manufacturersbaseline_shift

Aye, I know that - I can also pick the brains of a pool of people who are likely to have ordered this thing in the past.
If you don't have an answer, you don't have to answer.
- how are you mounting them?baseline_shift

Mainly - I'm trying to work out whether £80 is a lot or not.
- Perhaps I should've just said that at the start.Nairn
- how many letters?baseline_shift
- 12 letters, so closely tracked as to be one graphic form. Not sure about the mounting, tbh.Nairn

3-5 thousand dollars USD
- would include install.GetRefresh
- For letterage like in the image above?Nairn
- Think how much vinyl lettering costs, then times it by 5/10/15/20kuttyranks
- Yes... 3D letters like above are really expensive. I just put some on a client's building, so I know.GetRefresh

These folks offer a wide variety (both interior and exterior application) plus will custom cut for logos, etc.
For a nominal fee that will provide a pattern which proves invaluable when mounting.
The site has an online estimation tool.

if you are looking for dimensional lettering check out http://www.signletters.com/ (gemini)
They have a lot of them premade. You have to order the letters through a sign shop. some thing like you pictured would probably be ~1200 installed

without seeing the design, knowing the thickness of the Acrylic, or the mounting method you desire, around $175 CDN would be a fair ballpark price.

Its not cheap, 80 buck will get you probably 2 letters

Am I missing something? Shouldn't be more than $100.00 Canadian. 12 letters 1/4" acrylic 4" high?

£80 for what? the design? the actual letters? the installation? the vendor supervision?
- the production thereof.Nairn
- what is £80 in $ these days?magnificent_ruin
- you've gotten a bid back and need to know if it sounds reasonable?magnificent_ruin
- about 110$Jnr_Madison
- ahhh, how close, 113$, I am pure win.Jnr_Madison

I did brushed aluminum on 1/8"-thick acrylic, stud-mount, 20 letters 4" tall, plus a logo (12"x12"), interior mount only, installed by me for about $400 USD.

this sort of thing? Custom letters pre made?

Thanks for all your help, guys - blaw, getRefresh, Kuttyranks, baseline_shift & even Jnr_ and Rand. Ye Blessed.
- "even"?magnificent_ruin
- You were bottom of the list too - I'd rightly be infuriated if I were in your position.Nairn
- chris_himself0
I'd still say $150 - $175 CDN
This is a custom piece, so pricing it from sites that sell individual letters isn't accurate.
