I wanna thank prOk for printing, cutting and applying the graphics and translucent vinyl on plexi for me. Really nice job man. To make this sign, I built a 12 x 36" lightbox out of 1x4 pine boards. I routed a 1/4 groove in the back of each board so that when the frame was assembled, there would be a ledge for a solid piece of fiberboard to be inset as a backer/light mounting surface. I added a single pole switch to the bottom (just like an arcade game) and cut two small vents near the top on each side for heat to escape. I installed 2 20" flouro fixtures offset, one on top, one on the bottom. I painted the whole thing with stainless steel appliance epoxy, to give it that space-age machined metallic look. As the vinyl mask was applied to the front of the original sheet of plexi, I had a second sheet of plexi cut to use as a protective lens, so that it would be protected from dust and cleaning fluids. I then mitered 4 pieces of brushed aluminum angle to use as a frame to hold the plexi signs to the wooden light box. I just have to wire in a new outlet up close to the ceiling and the sign, so I don't have to F around with ext cords, etc.
Here's a pic of the sign completed but before being hung:
