(A) The surface area of a sign shall be computed as including the entire area within a regular geometric form, or combinations of regular geometric forms, comprising all of the display area of the sign and including all of the elements of the matter displayed, including framing. Round, oval, or odd-shaped signs are measured as though they were rectangular. Size shall be determined as the product of the height and width as measured at the widest and tallest points.
(B) Wall signs (or any sign where the letters are affixed to a large background, such as a wall or fence, without a defined border) are measured by establishing an artificial rectangle around the perimeter of the sign message.
