Kitsap Bank — Gig Harbor, WA
Plumb Signs designed, fabricated, and installed a full branch-identity program for Kitsap Bank at 4714 Point Fosdick Dr NW in Gig Harbor. The package covers the customer journey from the street to the teller line: a single-face illuminated street monument at the Point Fosdick Dr frontage, raceway-mounted channel letters and logo across two building elevations, a dimensional acrylic letterset on a stainless steel surround at the branch entry, a smaller illuminated property sign, lobby letters and logo over the interior wall, a sectional aluminum flag pole, and window graphics — all built and color-matched to the Kitsap Bank brand standard in our Tacoma shop.
Bank-brand signage has a tighter color tolerance than most commercial work. The trust signal is the color — if the blue and gold on the monument don’t match the blue and gold on the building face, on the lobby wall, and on the chip card a customer just pulled out of a wallet, the brand reads as off. The Kitsap Bank program at Gig Harbor was built to Pantone 2935C blue and Pantone 7408C gold on the dimensional acrylic letters, with the same color story carried into the illuminated monument face as a 3M Scotchcal translucent vinyl overlay — Sunflower (230-25) for the gold and Delft Blue (230-97) for the blue — applied to a white lexan face so the lit cabinet reads the same blue and the same gold both day and night.
Every illuminated assembly on the program is built on a Class 2 low-voltage white-LED platform and labeled to UL standards for electrical signs. The raceway-mount channel letters are wired through a single penetration into the building per elevation, simplifying the install for the property and giving Plumb Signs one clean service point per elevation when an LED module or driver eventually needs swapping. Our team prepared the City of Gig Harbor sign-permit package, coordinated the engineered structural drawings for the monument footing, ran the install, and made the electrical connection to the building service.

Four Views · One Branch Program
The Kitsap Bank Gig Harbor program reads as one connected brand from the street to the building face — the illuminated monument at Point Fosdick Dr, two raceway-mounted channel-letter elevations on the building itself, and a dimensional acrylic letterset on a stainless steel surround at the entry. Every face was color-matched, fabricated, and installed by the same team in our Tacoma shop. Tap any view to enlarge.
Translucent Vinyl on Lexan — the Bank-Brand Color Story That Holds at Night
A bank brand lives or dies by color tolerance. If the blue on the building doesn’t match the blue on the monument doesn’t match the blue on the chip card, the brand reads as off — and customers feel it before they can name it. The Kitsap Bank Gig Harbor monument is built on a white lexan face with a 3M Scotchcal translucent vinyl overlay: Sunflower (230-25) for the gold and Delft Blue (230-97) for the blue. The white lexan is the diffuser; the translucent vinyl carries the color; white LEDs behind the face push warm even light through the vinyl. The result reads the same Pantone 2935C blue and Pantone 7408C gold by day as it does by night — not a darker blue when lit, not a yellowed gold when off.
The face is also serviceable. When the brand standards eventually change — or when a face gets storm-damaged — the lexan can be unbolted, the vinyl stripped and reapplied, and the cabinet body and LED bay left in place. That’s how the Kitsap Bank face is built for retrofit at any branch in the network, not just for first install at Gig Harbor. The original cabinet stays; only the face changes.

Fabrication & Sign Family
A coordinated branch program — exterior monument, raceway channel letters, dimensional acrylic on stainless, and interior lobby identity — built to a single brand and a single color standard so the branch reads consistently from the street to the teller line.
Illuminated S/F Street Monument
Single-face illuminated street monument at the Point Fosdick Dr NW frontage. White lexan face with a 3M Scotchcal translucent vinyl overlay — Sunflower 230-25 yellow + Delft Blue 230-97 blue — back-lit by a white-LED bay so the brand reads the same color day and night. Cabinet body welded aluminum on a structural pole and engineered footing.
Raceway-Mounted Channel Letters
Two horizontal-format channel-letter and logo sets, one per building elevation, each wired through a single penetration via a color-matched raceway. Returns and trim cap painted to Pantone 2935C blue with white LED interiors and clear acrylic faces with translucent vinyl color overlay matched to the monument and the lobby letters.
Acrylic Letters on Stainless Surround
Exterior dimensional brand panel at the branch entry — 3/8″ thick painted acrylic letters reading “Kitsap Bank” and a 3/8″ thick logo, paint-matched to Pantone 2935C blue and Pantone 7408C gold, flush-mounted to a fabricated stainless steel surround. Pure architectural read — no illumination, no graphic overlay — that anchors the entry as the branch handshake.
Interior Lobby Letters & Logo
Lobby brand identity over the interior wall — 3/8″ thick painted acrylic letters and logo with a 3M Scotchcal Sunflower 230-25 vinyl color overlay, mounted with 1/4″ stand-offs from the wall so the letters cast a soft shadow against the painted surface. Tied directly into the same color story as the exterior monument and channel letters.
Beyond the four primary sign types, the program includes a smaller illuminated property sign, a sectional anodized-aluminum flag pole with a 3″ satin aluminum ball topper, and a coordinated package of white and black cut-vinyl window graphics. Plumb Signs also handled the removal and disposal of the prior on-site signage, repainted the existing surround at the entry, and made the electrical hookup back to the building service.
Channel-letter elevation — raceway-mount, single building penetration, color-matched to PMS 2935C and 7408C.
Design & Engineering
A branch program is a color-tolerance problem before it’s a fabrication problem. The Kitsap Bank Gig Harbor package was carried by a single CAD set through survey, drawings, color match, fabrication, paint, vinyl application, channel-letter build, raceway routing, monument footing engineering, City of Gig Harbor permit, install, and electrical hookup — so the blue on the monument, the blue on the building, and the blue on the lobby wall all came off the same color schedule rather than three independent reads.
- · Full fabrication drawings for every sign on the program
- · Pantone 2935C + 7408C color schedule across acrylic paint, channel-letter trim, and translucent-vinyl overlay
- · Channel-letter shop drawings with raceway routing and single-penetration electrical plan
- · Engineered structural drawings for the monument pole and footing
- · Lexan face and 3M Sunflower / Delft Blue vinyl-overlay layout per cabinet
- · Stainless steel surround fabrication detail for the entry letterset
- · City of Gig Harbor sign-permit submittal & electrical permitting
One drawing set, one color schedule, one team in our Tacoma shop — start to finish, from the curb on Point Fosdick Dr to the lobby wall behind the teller line.
Why This Approach Works for a Community-Bank Branch
A community-bank branch is a trust building. Customers walk in with their savings and their small-business deposits, and the signage on the way in is the first signal the brand sends them about whether the institution behaves consistently. The Kitsap Bank Gig Harbor program is built to make that signal land the same way every time: Pantone 2935C blue and Pantone 7408C gold on the monument, on the building channel letters, on the dimensional acrylic at the entry, and on the lobby letters — one color schedule, one paint specification, one translucent-vinyl overlay code. A customer who pulls into the Point Fosdick Dr lot sees the same brand at fifty feet, at ten feet, and at the teller window.
The face-replacement architecture matters at the multi-site level. A branch program that’s built on a serviceable lexan-face monument and a raceway channel-letter elevation is a program that can be retrofitted when the brand standard changes — without pulling cabinets, re-engineering pole footings, or repainting building elevations. That’s the right design choice for a community bank with a 17-branch Western Washington footprint, where the same sign system will eventually need to roll across multiple locations in coordinated order. The Gig Harbor branch was built to that standard from day one.
Bank & Financial-Institution Signage in Gig Harbor & the West Sound
Plumb Signs is based in Tacoma — twelve miles east of Gig Harbor across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. We design, fabricate, and install commercial signage for community banks, credit unions, financial-services firms, and corporate-office clients across Gig Harbor, Fox Island, Artondale, Port Orchard, Bremerton, Silverdale, Poulsbo, Bainbridge Island, and the broader Gig Harbor and Kitsap Peninsula market — from single-branch identity programs to multi-site retrofits and brand rollouts.
The entire Kitsap Bank Gig Harbor program — survey, drawings, color match, acrylic paint, channel-letter build, raceway routing, lexan face fabrication, vinyl overlay, stainless surround, lobby letters, permits, install, and electrical — was produced under one roof at 909 S 28th St in Tacoma and trucked west across the Narrows for set. One team, one chain of custody, one point of accountability if a service call ever needs to happen at the branch.
