This allows 6" of unoccupied space above and below the letters. 4" of clear space above, below, and to the sides of a channel letter sign is considered a minimum, with larger clearances required for larger sign bands. Degree of visibility, the distance from the Entrance f 'r Corridor, and the architectural design of the building/area �` REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES will determine sign size, placement, and proportions. ❑ 4.d Lettering should be in proportion (font size and typeface style) to the sign and the building.
