Channel Letter Signs
One of the best ways to increase the visibility of your location
You have most likely seen channel letter signs as you’ve driven the streets of commercial areas at night. Many companies are using these types of signs to identify themselves in increasing numbers. Essentially, these signs are made of aluminum “can” frames, acrylic faces, and an LED illumination source.
Channel letter signs offer many features that increase the visibility of your brand at your location. Individual three-dimensional letters make a huge statement for your company. These quality signs are sure to impress you clients and customers. This type of sign is meant to be seen from a distance, so they are generally larger in nature.
Channel letter signs also offer a high contrast option for your name and logo. The signs are designed as individual dimensional letters. This allows for all the benefits of standard dimensional letters, with the major difference that channel letters incorporate lighting options.
Lighting Options Add Contrast and Increase Visibility
One of the best ways to increase the visibility of your sign at night is with lighting. The internal illumination of individual letters naturally creates a high contrast look that will increase the impact your sign makes at night. Channel letters can either be illuminated internally using translucent sign faces or they can be back lit where the letters contain rear facing LEDs to light the wall or panel behind the letters.
These signs are designed as individual letters and pieces either mounted directly to your building or on a fabricated box designed to carry the power supplies and electrical connections called a raceway. The specific mounting system is determined by your location.
Channel Letters are a great signage option to add visibility to your company, make a statement for your brand identity, and make your business stand out.
G-Force Signs & Graphics offers the following solutions for Connecticut:
Front Lit Channel Letters
Front lit channel letters use LED modules to emit light through a translucent face. The letters are created using an aluminum or aluminum composite backer, aluminum sides called returns, and use either white translucent acrylic or dyed translucent acrylic. Translucent vinyl can be used on white faces for more color options or creative designs. These signs can be made using a various number of fonts and most often can match your company’s branding guidelines.
Back Lit Channel Letters
Back lit channel letters project light out of the back of the letter. The letter is constructed using aluminum and is either finished with a brushed look or painted to match your company colors. Since these letters are projecting light towards the building façade they either need to be mounted directly to a building face or use a backer board depending on the design and how the building façade is fabricated.
Logos
In the case of either front or back lit channel letters a logo can be incorporated. These icons are fabricated to match the shape of your company logo. With Front lit channel letters the logo can often be fabricated into the shape of the exterior outline of the logo and incorporate vinyl graphics for the details. In the case of back lit channel letters the logo often needs to be fabricated into the shape of the logo to preserve details.
