Ideas for building this sign?

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to build the giant XXXX sign seen in these photos?

For reference I was thinking of making the sign 3 bricks high.

At that size, I'd use 1x4 plate & tile vertically, i.e. a 1x4 plate with a 1x4 jumper in the middle and 1x1 tiles at the end for one line of the X, and a 1x4 tile at the desired angle on top of the jumper. Doesn't provide a flat front for the full X, but may be good enough...

How about ...

You could cover with tiles to change their colour or make them smooth, if needed.

If you don't mind a bit of curvature, the small wedge slopes (29120, 29119) and a curved slope (93237) or the matching separate curved slopes will do miracles. It will only be a bit tricky to get an acceptable attachement in the middle and I'd definitely only use this set against a full plate as a marquee, not standalone, but it would be about right in proportions and only slightly taller than 3 studs.
