A perfectly fitting sign or logo can significantly impact the way your interior looks and make the exterior of your shop, hotel, office center, restaurant, or beauty parlor vivid enough to attract attention.
Channel lettering signs can be used for basically any space: an office building, a hotel, a restaurant, a shop, educational institutions, a hairdresser’s, or some other type of health and beauty establishment, etc. It will always bring style to either interior or 3D exterior signage of a corporate building and make it more visible.
However, depending on the kind of building you want to put it in, you need to opt for different types of channel letters. This concerns size, material, style, and general design. What types of channel letter signs and letters are there? First, let us categorize them by material.
1. Plastic letters
These are highly convenient for any exterior: while they might lack elegance, they are really durable and can hardly be harmed by the weather, unlike wooden dimensional letters. They are also not as expensive as some alternatives, which is why we see them so often.
2. Metal
These are likely to serve you for years, regardless of where you display them. They are also quite sophisticated and can create either a vintage or a modern look, depending on the style you are after. The kinds of metals normally applied in sign creation are bronze, aluminum, and stainless steel.
3. Foam
These are quite cheap and easy to work with, so you can create all sorts of forms. When conducted appropriately, foam channel lettering signs can actually look like metal. However, it is better to keep them inside and not apply them to the exterior.
4. Wood
Wood looks very stylish and can be used in many different styles. It is a perfect solution for indoor design. However, taking it outside would be a mistake because even durable wood can easily be damaged by rain and wind. Even if you do not have to replace it, you will have to conduct a lot of renovation work in order to keep it attractive.
5. Acryl
Acryl is usually combined with metal to create modern-looking outdoor or indoor solutions.
Besides various materials, channel lettering signs come in various styles. Let us take a closer look at the most popular channel letter styles.
Logo channel lettering signs are vital for making your brand visible and creating a sufficient marketing strategy. 3D logo signs are supposed to reflect the style of the company and highlight its main idea. 3D signs are commonly used by all kinds of brands, regardless of what industry they work in.
There is no better way to make sure your business gets enough customers than attracting their attention with a brightly lighted sign. With front-lit channel letter signs, pedestrians will be able to notice your brand name even in total darkness. It also builds a special atmosphere around your building with its lighting effect.
These are very trendy right now — instead of having the dimensional letters lighted, you light the space behind them, making them appear magical and soft. Ше requires exquisite design and can potentially attract a lot of customers as it is really vivid. You can also use reverse channel letters on the inside as an alternative lighting source to create a special atmosphere.
Non-illuminated channel letters are much cheaper than lighted ones and can suit your business if it has long downtime. If it opens in the evening, this might not be the right choice, as it will not be noticeable in the dark. It is also best to avoid these kinds of 3D signs in crowded areas with a lot of businesses around.
When you want to use channel letters in your interior, you do not have to worry about the durability of materials or keeping them bright and noticeable. Instead, you can focus on details and make sure that you choose an appropriate style.
If you choose to use channel letters on the outside, you must choose durable material and make sure that your sign is visible. However, avoid making it too bright and try to integrate it into the environment — that way, outdoor sign letters will not annoy pedestrians while attracting enough attention.
Front-lit
This is the most standard option that is commonly chosen by all kinds of businesses. Channel letters are usually made from aluminum and have internal lighting — either neon or LED lights. You can make this kind of letter shiny and choose from a variety of callers. The storefront letters of your sign will always be lighted and noticeable day and night.
Halo-lit
These channel letters are also made of aluminum. However, instead of placing the light inside the actual channel letters, we place them on the back. Consequently, you see something similar to a halo around each letter as they are lit from the back. Back-lit or halo-lit channel letters create a great look that can be used inside as well as outside — the lighting is not too aggressive.
Front/Back-Lit
You can combine different colors by using one on the back and another on the front side. This is great for branding: if your brand colors are red and green, for example, you can create letters with red neon light and a green halo.
Open face
In this case, you show neon instead of covering it in something. This also helps create a unique look for an otherwise standard approach.
The most important impact of outdoor channel letter signs is that they make you noticed, which is what businesses crave. Unlike other kinds of marketing strategies, these 3D signs attract customers who are actually nearby and can easily make an instant decision to choose you among all the options for channel letters.
3D lettering signs also allow you to create a specific atmosphere on the inside — you can choose the style and color that represent the very essence of your business.
Nowadays, lit letters are commonly used for creating inspirational channel letter signs as well as promoting logos. Educational institutions use them to make information visible and interesting.
