SIGN 2000 CAST METAL LETTERS & LOGOS
SIGN 2000 Custom Cast Leaf
SIGN 2000 Letters Lifetime GuaranteeCast metal letters and logos have always imparted a stately aura of permanence, style, and class on the sites they adorn. Perhaps this is because the underlying casting process itself has changed so little over the past 1000 years. It may also be because the letter casting process allows for the creation of the deepest, sturdiest, most beautiful metal letters and logs. No matter the reason, SIGN 2000 is the only one to use for cast letter signage. SIGN 2000 has devoted 50,000 square feet to the storage of our CNC cut, hand finished patterns in over 50 of the most common letter styles. Our all-electric, pollution-free furnaces in Texas, Iowa and Minnesota melt the virgin bronze and aluminum ingot used in the process. Our hand finished product is produced for you in about 8 days ? often for less than what you would expect to pay for such quality.


 

SIGN 2000 Custom Cast Smith & Wesson Logo
Durability & Long Lasting Beauty.
  • Natural satin is standard but not the only option.
  • Lifetime Guarantee on all finishes.
  • Mounting hardware included with all orders with appropriate stud diameter for quality installation.
  • All materials cast are lead and mercury free.

  • The depth in cast letters is unmatched.
  • Custom logos are available at minimal expense?especially with repeat orders or duplicate pieces.
