or constructed as a background for the sign copy shall be measured as that area contained within the outside dimensions of the background panel or surface. Any illuminated bands or illuminated structures which contain sign copy or corporate logos are by definition wall signs in their entirety and as such may not exceed 30% of the wall area.
(2) Sign copy mounted as individual letters or graphics against a wall or fascia of a building or other structure that has not been painted, textured or otherwise altered to provide a distinctive background for the sign copy, the area shall be defined as the area enclosed by the smallest single rectangle that will enclose all of the lettering or graphics.
