Here’s a handsome surviving awning sign employing black and brick red vinyl letters against a white background on Jamaica Avenue at 121st Street. These type signs were quite durable and held up for decades under all kinds of weather.
However, signs like this as well as movie marquees with individual lettering have become scarce — they do require some maintenance. Better to use a surfaced vinyl awning sign above a sore, or an electronic board no one can read in diretc sunlight at movie theaters.
