Channel letter signs are 3D letters typically made with aluminum and acrylic materials and lighted in one of a few different ways. They are used to advertise your place of worship. They can be seen from a large distance and are a visually pleasing way to welcome visitors and let them know they are in the right place.
Create a Positive First Impression with Channel Letter Signs
Your signs are often the first things potential visitors will see, so it is important to make a good impression. Channel letter signs provide an elegant and welcoming look designed to draw more attendees to your congregation.
Types of Custom Channel Letter Signs for Churches
- Halo-lit / reverse channel letter signs create a "heavenly" look for your signs. The letters are lit from the back, creating a beautiful halo effect around the letters from the light reflecting off the wall behind.
- Front-lit channel letters are the most popular type of channel letter sign. They are illuminated internally and shine through a translucent color panel cover.
- Open-lit channel letters also have internal lighting but do not have a color panel. This allows the lighting element to be completely exposed. They create a unique affect for your place of worship.
- Front & back-lit channel letter signs are illuminated from the front and back. The letter’s exterior is generally made of aluminum, the front color panel is acrylic, and the back of each letter is open, allowing light to reflect off the wall behind and generate the halo effect in addition to the internal illumination..
Types of Channel Letter Mounting
Once you have chosen the perfect sign to represent your church, the next decision it where to mount it. There are three types of channel letter mounting: flush, raceway, and standoff.
- Flush-mounted channel letters are affixed directly to the wall with screws. This is the most common type of installation and gives your sign a clean, professional look.
- Raceway-mounted channel letters have a rectangular, metal box called a raceway mounted to the wall. The letters are then mounted to the raceway, giving them a floating appearance.
- Standoff-mounted channel letters are like flush-mounted letters, but they have metal standoffs attaching the letter to the wall, giving it a three-dimensional look.
