Internally illuminated cabinet signs must have opaque backgrounds. (Opaque materials don't allow light to pass through.

Include standard color id numbers (Pantone, Benjamin Moore, Acrylic, etc.) for all materials, text, graphics, base, faces, trim caps, returns, etc. o Provide accurate physical samples of all colors proposed, preferably in the material proposed. (Paint chips that accurately reflect the proposed colors are acceptable.) o Provide a site plan showing proposed landscaping around the sign, including botanical names and planting sizes. o Additional submittal materials may be required if review by the Architectural Review Board is necessary. (The applicant will be notified if this requirement applies.) M M WALL SIGNS ® A drawing, to scale, showing dimensions of the sign (length, height, depth). ® Elevation drawing(s) or modified photograph of the entire building, to scale and in color, showing ® The sign location on the building, sign height above grade, and the length of building frontage.
