Claim:
A sign, comprising: a light pipe including a receiving surface and an emitting surface; an information filter including an information port disposed in proximity to the emitting surface; a first light source of a first color disposed in proximity to the receiving surface; a controller in electrical communication with the first light source and a power supply, wherein the controller powers the first light source to illuminate the light pipe in the first color, and further wherein the light pipe is visible through the information port to deliver visual information in a shape of the information port; and a housing, comprising: a base including a lower section supporting a raised section; a passage passing through the raised section, wherein the passage is complementary in shape to a combined profile of the light pipe and the information filter, whereby the lowest edges of the information filter and the light pipe are disposed within the passage; and a closeout comprising a perimeter lip, and a planar shield covering the light pipe on a side opposite of the information filter, wherein the perimeter lip covers the edges of the light pipe, and a lowest end of the closeout is disposed outside of the raised portion, thereby creating an overlap for shielding of errant water.
