I just spent a whole day on this a week ago as I had the same problem. So I’m glad to share it with you.
supposing you have an imge of teh sign, you will need convert your image to a pict file first in the proportions you want it. then save it as a new material in the textures folder of design workshop. Then just draw a block and apply the new ‘material’ to it. this way you can put in your sign in any size or shape you want, it will be a block however. Good thing is you can make it transculent so that you may light it up. This link will explain in greater detail how you can do the above.
