Blade signs are an effective way to draw passersby’s attention and highlight your business name, making them perfect for retail stores, restaurants, and businesses with sidewalks in front. These signs may be illuminated or non-illuminated; single-sided or double-sided; illuminated or non-illuminated; single-sided or double-sided; made of aluminum or acrylic; illuminated channel letter signs are self-contained systems with LEDs that illuminate each letter individually on the sign face, front-lit for reverse-lighting effects or dual lighting (aluminum in front combined with transparent acrylic for an effect)

Pylon signs are freestanding illuminated structures designed to grab the attention of passing traffic, and are commonly seen at shopping plazas, industrial complexes, car dealerships, gas stations and mini-malls. Pylon signs can reach heights up to 100ft depending on local regulations. Acrylic office signs offer contemporary visual communication tools that you can use with both employees and customers within your facility – these signs can be installed in reception areas, conference rooms or any strategic spots throughout your facility.

Channel Letter Signs

Channel letter signs are a unique form of business signage that use LED lighting to illuminate letters or logos, often found in malls, retail stores, restaurants and office buildings. They come with front lighting options including front halo halo lighting for frontward viewing – great for locations looking to stand out against competitors! Channel letter signs offer businesses a way to stand out.

Manufacturers begin crafting these business signs by cutting and bending aluminum sheets into letters. Once this step is complete, returns are formed using computer-driven bending machines; then attached with trim caps to join all returns together, creating the frame of a letter’s frame; finally its face cut from acrylic (typically 3/16″ thick and available in an array of colors); while other companies opt to leave its returns open without cutting acrylic at all to mimic a neon look.

Electrical components of the sign are then assembled using software programs and wired to a backer mount or raceway – a metal container which contains wires and power sources for every sign – before being attached directly to its building facade via direct mounts or backer mounts.

Engraved Signs

If you are searching for something classic and upscale, engraved signs could be the solution. Engraved signs offer a perfect way to draw customers’ attention while adding a personal touch to any storefront, with different materials suitable for indoor and outdoor use available and this type of signage becoming increasingly more effective at getting noticed by potential clients.

Engraved signs can be quite costly depending on their size and material, but are certainly worth investing in for their high-end appearance. They’re extremely durable too if taken care of correctly, providing another great way to promote your brand and help potential clients locate you in Anaheim.

Blade signs are an attractive and eye-catching choice for businesses who wish to stand out. Consisting of permanent signage that protrudes horizontally from walls, blade signs typically require permission from cities in order to display. They’re especially great in strip malls as well as at night when lit to further increase visibility.

LED flex neon signage is becoming more and more popular in Anaheim. It gives the look of traditional neon signs without incurring their associated costs and maintenance expenses, plus LEDs are significantly brighter than their counterparts and can even serve as backlighting for storefront signs.

Dimensional Letters

Dimensional signs add depth and dimension to your brand’s signage, drawing visitors in with eye-catching displays that draw the eye and add dimension. They come in all sorts of sizes and shapes for building identification, internal wayfinding or merchandising purposes; typically mounted to flat surfaces via various techniques (stud mounting included) on which they are mounted; these signs may also be illuminated depending on desired look and are typically made from aluminum, stainless steel or plastic laminate materials such as foam.

Metal signs make an excellent outdoor dimensional signage solution because they’re durable and resistant to corrosion, with options from brushed to mirror polished finishes available for them. Furthermore, you have the choice of adding titanium coating in either gold, bronze, or copper for an attractive appearance that also looks modern.

Opting for a fabricated channel letter sign can be an ideal choice for retail and corporate interiors, consisting of bent channels glued or welded together using automated technology to form their shape. Not only are they long-lasting but can even be backlit at night to improve visibility – options include front-lit, exposed bulb or reverse/halo lit styles!

Wooden dimensional signage is generally created from laser cutting wood with dark burnt edges, and can be stained or painted to meet your brand’s design guidelines. Foam material may also be used indoors as cheaper but less long-term signage solutions.

Light Box Signs

No matter the age or stage of your business, the right signage can help establish brand visibility and set you apart from competitors. From eye-catching tradeshow signs to professional interior signage solutions, incorporating signs into your brand strategy can build an identity that lasts.

Illuminated signs are an increasingly popular choice for businesses that want to draw passerby attention during nighttime hours, particularly with pedestrian traffic. Available in an array of designs and customizable to display any number of content pieces (business name, logo and contact info are common options), they allow businesses to grab passerby attention without breaking the bank in terms of size or design – some opting for simple signs while others go for intricate images that stand out more.

Signs come in many varieties, such as back-lit, halo-lit, illuminated sign boxes, neon-style LEDs and digital message boards. Each type offers its own distinct aesthetic that’s ideal for different environments and business locations – plus they are more energy-efficient than traditional neon signs, which may become damaged over time.

Pole signs (also referred to as pylon signs) are freestanding illuminated structures that can reach heights of 100ft, making them the perfect addition for shopping plazas, industrial complexes, car dealerships, gas stations and other commercial properties that want to increase passing traffic.

Front-Lit

Front-lit channel letters offer businesses that want to stand out both day and night an effective means of doing just that. Available in a range of fonts and sizes, front-lit channel letters can be tailored specifically to any business’s branding requirements and feature LED lighting, which boasts low energy consumption and long lifespan – making this an economical solution that can boost brand recognition and attract attention at an affordable cost.

Front-lit channel letters can be found everywhere from storefronts and strip malls to commercial buildings, where they’re used as standalone signage or integrated into other ground signs like monument signs and pylons. With so many fonts, colors and sizes to choose from as well as easy installation procedures allowing businesses to tailor them specifically to meet their business’s unique requirements, front-lit channel letters have quickly become a go-to choice for signage needs.

Face lit signs are illuminated channel letter signage featuring transparent acrylic faces and lights emanating from within the sign itself. Face lit signs are popularly used by retail stores and restaurants that want to attract attention during both daytime and nighttime hours, since they’re easy to maintain and can be quickly replaced if damaged; face lit signs also work great as an eye-catcher in high visibility locations.

Signs with reflective surfaces are commonly found at commercial and retail storefronts, malls, offices and other public spaces. Constructed using aluminum back and sides with polycarbonate front that’s designed to reflect illumination from LED lights installed inside them; typically mounted to building walls using stand offs; multiple signs can even be stacked to form larger displays.

Illuminated channel letter signage is the most frequently seen type. This three-dimensional metal or plastic sign can be customized with text such as company logos, company names and more, making them suitable for retail store fronts as well as buildings such as hospitals or schools. They can even be combined into large displays stacked together on raceways for freestanding signs.

Halo-Lit

Channel letter signs are an eye-catching and memorable way to draw passersby’s attention, helping your business stand out from its competition. One increasingly popular form of channel letter signage is the halo-lit style which uses LEDs to illuminate its letters’ borders giving a “halo” effect – an option suitable for indoor or outdoor use, available in multiple colors.

Another popular type of halo-lit sign is the front/back-lit channel letter, which combines features from both types to produce an ethereal glow around its edges. They come in different sizes and styles to meet your business’s branding.

One important consideration when contemplating a halo-lit sign is that it works best on flat surfaces. Corrugated walls and uneven surface materials may diminish its overall aesthetic while emitting less than ideal illumination. To overcome this obstacle, sign makers often install an access panel behind their sign for easier wiring access while providing a smooth surface to reflect illumination from.

LED lighting in a halo-lit sign can be easily adjusted to either minimize or amplify its overall effect, depending on what business needs are met. Some prefer a thin halo that clings closely around letters while others opt for wider glow; additionally, its color can also be changed to meet or complement branding goals.

Halo-lit signs are an increasingly popular choice among retail businesses, restaurants and office buildings alike. Installed either internally or externally of your building, they serve to draw in customers while also advertising your brand.

Halo-lit signs offer superior design, yet are easy to install and maintain. Fabricated halo-lit signs come equipped with removable cans that enable servicing of LEDs while optional studs provide 1-1/2″ standoff distance. SloanLED channel letters also include internal aluminum returns that help prevent heat buildup while creating an elegant finish.

Open Face

Channel letter signs are some of the most eye-catching signage options, catching even oblivious passersby’s attention and creating an immediate impact on potential customers. They can often be found at commercial buildings, strip malls, offices and other public locations – often internally illuminated with LED lighting which creates vivid backgrounds for business logos to stand out. Channel letter signs stand out among all other sign types in terms of eye appeal!

If you prefer something less traditional and more modern, open face channel letters offer the ideal solution. These signs have similar dimensions to front-lit ones but feature open faces to show off neon illumination. Clear acrylic faces make for an authentic vintage appearance while this form of signage is more affordable.

Your acrylic face or opaque trimcap can be customized to reflect the colors of your brand, while custom letters and symbols can help your sign showcase its identity. Furthermore, this form of signage can easily adapt to suit the size and needs of any business.

Fabricated channel letters are typically constructed of rustproof aluminum, featuring walled sides with open ends that enable viewers to see all sides of their letter faces from all angles. These side walls, known as returns, may be composed of aluminum or acrylic; often painted the same hue as their sign for a professional finish.

Other businesses opt for open-face or halo-lit signs as an economical and versatile lighting choice, particularly since these signs do not require as much maintenance than front-lit channel letters. They can be used across industries without breaking the bank in terms of price or maintenance needs.

Lighted channel letters can not only save energy costs but can be personalized with multiple features that stand out from their competition, including colored LEDs and neon lights, new letter colors and perforated returns – giving your business an edge and drawing more customers in. These customizations help make lighted channel letters even more effective marketing tools!

Fabricated

Illuminated channel letter signs are among the most eye-catching forms of business signage, drawing pedestrians’ eyes from afar and drawing customers in for business at any time of day or night. LED lighting in channel letters provides long-term brightness unlike older neon or fluorescent bulbs which could burn out over time.

No matter the size or scope of your company, channel letter LED signs may be an ideal fit. Durable yet customizable to reflect the unique aesthetic of your brand, they can also easily integrate with existing signs for an upgrade or revamp of their corporate identity.

Fabricated LED channels can help your brand stand out and gain increased exposure, especially during daytime when most people walk or drive by your location. Indoors or outdoors, LED channels are easy to install with minimal maintenance required compared to neon or fluorescent alternatives. Furthermore, energy efficiency saves money as LED lighting saves on costs over its competitors.

A fabricated channel letter consists of aluminum back and sides routed to form your desired letter or number and an acrylic face that can either be translucent (front lit) or clear for reverse lit effects, held in place with plastic trim cap of various standard colors to hold in place while its back and sides can often be painted to complement the architecture of its surrounding building.

Signs are constructed using 3/16″ thick colorfast acrylic sheeting that has been laser cut into your desired character or letter shape. Once complete, they are then attached to an aluminum back or “can”, complete with trim cap available in various colors for attachment.

Flush mounting to your building facade or backer mounting are two options available to you for mounting this can. When backer mounted, each letter is fastened to an aluminum backer before being installed into a pre-made opening in your building or facade. All electrical hardware and power sources are conveniently concealed within this cabinet – even from view behind the front of the sign!
