Metal fabrication offers some design aesthetics that acrylic doesn't have. VLS Graphics can custom manufacture aluminum, stainless steal, brass and bronze signs. You can also design your sign with a mixture of metal and acrylic to save money or to achieve a specific look.

  The example to the right has polished aluminum bars on the top and bottom of the sign. Then there is a clear acrylic face plate that slides between the two and locks from the bottom with a special key. The bottom copy is applied vinyl.
