In the hotel industry, where first impressions are everything, the importance of distinctive and attractive branding cannot be overstated. North Coast Signs specializes in creating custom channel letter signs, offering hotels a powerful tool to stand out and make a memorable impression on guests.
What Are Channel Letters?
Channel letters are custom-made, three-dimensional lettering often used for building names and logos. They are especially popular in the hotel industry for their ability to create a striking visual presence. These signs come in various types, each offering unique aesthetic and illumination options:
- Front-Lit Channel Letters: The most common type, front-lit channel letters have an open face, typically acrylic, that allows light to shine through. This design illuminates the face of the letters, making them highly visible and readable, especially at night.
- Back-Lit (Halo-Lit) Channel Letters: These offer a sophisticated, subtle glow by illuminating from behind, creating a “halo” effect around the letters. Back-lit letters are ideal for hotels looking for a more upscale, refined appearance.
- Combination-Lit Channel Letters: Combining the features of front-lit and back-lit letters, combo-lit channel letters provide a dynamic and versatile option. They illuminate the face of the letters while also creating a halo effect, offering both prominence and elegance.
- Open-Face Channel Letters: Open-face channel letters are not covered with acrylic on the front, exposing the internal lighting elements, often neon. This style offers a retro or classic look, perfect for hotels wanting to evoke a sense of nostalgia or historical charm.
Each type of channel letter can be customized in terms of font, color, and size to align with a hotel’s specific branding needs. The choice of lighting, whether LED or neon, further adds to the sign’s impact, ensuring that the hotel’s name and logo are vividly displayed.
Benefits of Channel Letters for Hotels
Channel letter signs provide several key benefits for hotels:
- Visibility: The illumination and size of channel letters make them highly visible, even from a distance or at night.
- Customization: Hotels can tailor these signs to their specific branding needs, choosing from a wide range of fonts, colors, and lighting styles.

- Energy Efficiency: With options like LED lighting, channel letters are energy-efficient, reducing long-term operating costs.
