Recently, City Signs completed a project for 9Round in Pleasanton, CA that consisted of an illuminated channel letters set with a custom tagline. Channel letters, if unfamiliar, are the large signs you see mounted directly to building faces. They are ideal for customers seeking unique, long-lasting signs that are versatile and can be seen day or night. Channel letters are composed of three main parts: faces, which is the front part of the letter that is most visible, returns, which are the sides of the letters, and the trim cap, which is the trim around the edge of the sign that connects all three pieces together. The letters themselves are usually 5 inches deep and can be mounted flush to the wall or off the wall using spacers. When mounted with spacers, they can be lit through the faces of the letters or from the back of the sign creating a halo effect. This is called halo illumination. Channel letters can be illuminated using neon or LED lights. Because LEDs offer more functionality and minimal electricity usage, they have become the standard for almost all new illuminated signs. You can also customize these signs, as they come in a variety of colors and the faces can also include custom prints and gradients.
9Round, a fitness center in Pleasanton, CA was looking for a new sign for their business. As a team, created a channel letter set of the company’s logo that included a tag line box. 9Round chose three different color faces and the sign is mounted flush to the wall of their building suite. LEDs were used to light the sign, as you can see from the photo to the left before the red faces were installed. The project was a success. 9Round’s new sign is very attractive day and night, and was also cost effective.
