About this sign

The storefront sign that glows

We build front-lit channel letters to elevate your business and leave a memorable impression on your customers.

They are the most common type of channel letter: each letter is an aluminum container with LED lighting inside and a translucent acrylic face, so the whole letter glows. Because they're large, bright and simple to read day or night, front-lit letters are one of the most effective ways to make a storefront stand out on a busy Orlando street. We handle the design, permitting, fabrication and installation under one roof.

Questions

Front-lit letters, explained

Still deciding between front-lit and halo back-lit letters? These answers cover the questions we hear most from Orlando business owners.

What's the difference between front-lit and back-lit channel letters?

Front-lit letters shine light through a translucent acrylic face, so they are bright and easy to read at any time of day. Back-lit (reverse or halo) letters have metal faces and LEDs behind them, creating a halo on the wall that makes the letters look like they float. It's an elegant, upscale look.

What are channel letters made of?

Aluminum containers shaped as your letters or logo, with acrylic faces and LED lighting.

Do you handle permits for channel letter signs in Orlando?

Yes. Permitting is part of our process. Permit times depend on the city, and we follow up with the authorities so your permits are issued as quickly as possible.

How long does channel letter installation take?

It depends on the size and complexity of the sign. Simple installs can take 1–2 hours, while larger or more complex projects can take a few days. The channel letter sign shown on this page took about 20 man-hours to install.

Can you design the letters and logo for my sign?

Yes. Our in-house graphic design team presents proposals and revises them with your feedback until you approve, before anything goes into production.
