Channel letter signs are an affordable, versatile sign option that can add depth and dimension to storefronts, office buildings and other commercial properties. Available in various shapes, fonts, colors and illumination options to fit your branding requirements, channel letter signs provide the perfect way to draw people in with depth and character.
Illuminated channel letters can be lit either front- or backlit and feature translucent faces and returns (sides of the sign) that allow light to shine through them, often used by companies seeking a prestigious image.
Customization
Custom channel letters make a bold statement when used for business signage. Available in an array of fonts, colors, and sizes – they’re also versatile enough to mount anywhere – whether on walls, backer panels, raceways, illuminated with neon or LED lights depending on your lighting requirements – plus even full-color programmable LEDs!
Shopping centers and retail centers that want to enhance visibility from sidewalk traffic will find this sign an effective choice, with its unique shape making it easier for customers to read. Additionally, this makes for a suitable backdrop in casual restaurants.
This type of sign consists of a plastic base and cover made of translucent, light-diffusing colored plastic which snaps on to it. This allows the letter face to be seen both daytime and illuminated at night – sometimes known as halo-illuminated signs.
Durability
Durability can be defined as the resistance of a product to wear and tear over time. A more durable product will outlast others in its category and require less maintenance; durability should also be an important characteristic when considering products, materials and buildings; such buildings will stand up better under adverse weather conditions and remain standing.
Pan channel letters are signs made from metal pan enclosures designed in the shape of letters that can be installed directly onto your fascia of your business. They can be illuminated internally or used as backlighting. Additionally, backlit or halo-lit versions may also be available.
These lights are a popular choice for shopping plazas with heavy foot traffic, as they can be seen from far away. Additionally, installing them using a raceway mount reduces costs and avoids drilling into the facade of your building – ideal when installing within high footfall areas!
Lights
Channel letter signs provide businesses looking to emphasize their brand in an easily visible location with an ideal solution. Available in various shapes, sizes, fonts and lighting options that suit any unique branding style for their company’s branding style – they can even be attached directly to walls, building facades or panels on raceways!
Front-lit channel letters feature translucent acrylic faces illuminated from behind by LED bulbs positioned below. Their color can be tailored to complement their acrylic faces for optimal light output and effect.
Reverse-halo-lit channel letters utilize acrylic faces and sides with space between them for interior lighting that reflects off of their sign face, creating a halo effect in the background behind. They can be lit using back lighting, dual illumination or exposed neon. Fabricated channel letters using this style require an electrical junction box in the ceiling as well as access through walls for wiring to run its course.
Aesthetics
Channel letter signs employ design techniques that create visual appeal, such as composition with symmetry and balance, leading lines that draw viewers in, color theory to produce pleasing images, as well as materials, colors, and lighting options for greater aesthetic impact.
Aesthetics is a branch of philosophy which examines the nature and value of art. Additionally, aesthetics examines our responses to natural objects that express themselves through beauty or ugliness; its history dates back to Fechner before behaviorism limited psychology to studying observable behaviors.
Recently, aesthetic research has revived. While its revival might not reflect its success in recapturing the momentum of eighteenth-century theory of taste, recent debates in empirical aesthetics may de-emphasize beauty altogether.
