Once a design is approved, the project runs through engineering and council approval (where the sign needs one), fabrication at the Kent Town facility, then installation, electrical connection by a licensed electrician engaged by the customer, and commissioning. Store-listed items such as the flat-pack light box and 3D letters and logos carry an indicative from-price and can move straight to production once artwork is confirmed. ## Related - https://directory.giganticsigns.com.au/signage/outdoor-signage/building-signage - https://directory.giganticsigns.com.au/signage/outdoor-signage/pylon-signs - https://directory.giganticsigns.com.au/signage/gigantic-screens ## FAQ ### What's the difference between front-lit and halo-lit 3D letters?
