One effect we like, but don’t advertise much is gilded chip carving. We chip carved an area of the sign using a little gouge and then gild it. Here is the effect you get:

Gold Chip Carving

The reflection of the gold is fantastic because all the chips act like facets which bounce the light back in several directions.

You can have this effect on any sign you want. Hopefully we will offer it as a standard choice soon.
