Saw a great idea for ALL IBAs

Saw a SoftGloss this weekend. It has an awesome entry arch, on outside entrance to the bay. It was very impressive, made it have a mini-tunnel look, & seemed to certainly be a draw for customers.
It was honestly 1 of the sharpest looking things for an iBA, that i have seen. I think it was even more of a draw than LED lightshows.

Great idea - good for instructions, menu, package confirmation and overall show.
 
I added this with my remodel when I installed my new razor. It also serves as a height restriction/hard stop that has saved my new machine from damage at least a few times already.

I would think you would have to clean it daily. At my locations, my IBAs blow the water back out the entrance so bad, it would leave water spots all over it.

You may be right, especially if your prevailing wind blows out, instead of through the back of the bay.
But this was in front of a SoftGloss, which has FAR less water spray. In fact, besides the hp wheel cleaner, there's practically zero spray.
I'd also think with this enteance arch, you could easily get by with the basic LED pkg.

I’d go to a local custom sign shop and metal fabricator for a simple wrapped arch sign. Use a wrap design with colors that will pop when a led flood light hits it.
