Abstract: Letters for use on a marquee are constructed with a tray-like member having a front panel cut through with an opening in the form of desired indicia. The tray includes a continuous integral rim for containing a translucent flexible color panel, providing color for the indicia. A lip is formed integrally coextensive with a side wall portion of the rim and extends laterally for overlap with the opposite side wall of an adjacent letter of like construction. Brackets connected to the side walls project rearwardly to secure the letter to the marquee and on the side opposite the overlap lip are spaced inwardly to accomodate the overlap lip of an adjacent letter. For particular indicia, a patch of opaque material of the same color as the front panel can be glued to the front surface of the color panel. In one embodiment, elongate frame members are provided coextensive with major length sections of the rim whereby the color panel may be retained by sliding between the frame members and the front panel.
