Channel letters are custom signs made from aluminum with plastic letters and are generally installed outside of storefronts, inside shopping malls and on public buildings. These signs are often internally illuminated, are known to draw attention during the day or night and can be customized to fit the needs of your brand. If you plan to open a business, channel letter signs are an excellent choice for maximum exposure and brand awareness.
With several different channel letter options available, read about the types of channel letters below to help determine what type of channel letter sign is best fit for your business needs.
Types of Channel Letter Based Signs:
![]() | Front lit channel letters Most front lit channel letters are three dimensional and are made of aluminum. Their faces are made from acrylic and can be customized with a variety of colors. For an even broader range of colors, front lit channel letters can remain white and translucent vinyl can be used as an overlay on the face. |
![]() | Halo lit channel letters Halo lit channel letters, also known as reverse lit channel letters are mounted away from the wall, causing the light to form a halo effect behind the sign. This effect is considered to give a sign a more distinguished or unique look. |
![]() | Open face channel letters Open face channel letters are similar to front lit and halo lit channel letters. The only difference is that the acrylics are clear, creating an open face effect. Channel letter signs with open faces provide brighter lighting, creating a sign that is surely to attract attention. |
Combination face and back lit channel letters
Combination face and back lit channel letters have a combination of both front and halo lit letters creating a vibrant sign that really stands out. They generally have an acrylic face and clear back, allowing you to illuminate the face of the sign with one color, and illuminate the halo backlighting in a different color. With the contrast between the two illuminated colors, this sign choice is excellent for those who prefer a noticeable and eye-catching sign.
