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. REF CHECKLIST ITEM NOTES Degree of visibility, the distance from the Entrance Corridor, and the architectural design of the building /area will determine sign size, placement, and proportions.
