If you want to create a cool looking store front or business sign, here’s a few of our favorite types.

By reverse lighting and reflecting the sign lights off a business sign onto the back wall creates very elegant and cool looking business sign

Hi again, Larry here with this Months helpful news release.

Over the years, dating back to the mid 80’s, one may say we have just about handled every sign type one may imagine.

During this time there have been a few sign type we think are really cool looking and provide for the best look.

Sure, many businesses, store fronts, retailers, restaurants and large corporations may keep it simple and use standard flex faces or lexan sign cabinets to project their brand to all consumers in a mall, on a free standing building or retail environment.

Or they have a set brand sign type that is mass produced by one bid winning Sign Company for regional, national or global drop shipping.

But, this release is to share a few cool looking sign types that ole Larry here recommends because they simply look good and create a warm inviting feel when in use.

For example, the first photo in the upper left here depicts one of my favorites.

It’s called a reverse lit halo stand off lit sign. Meaning this type of sign maybe a cabinet or individual pan channel letters like in the photo above.

The trick or coolness comes into play when the illumination comes from behind the sign itself.

Unlike normal front lit illuminate pan channel sign letters, these signs and signs letters are raised (stepped off) the wall or surface a sign and lit from behind whereas the front face tends to be a solid coated or finished metal.

Meaning no light transmits from the front of the sign. All the lighting comes from behind the sign and reflects off the wall or sign location.

As you see, this creates a nice elegant look and feel for the business, restaurant or retail mall store.

Now may you imagine if one added a purple, pink or other cool color neon or LED lighting source?

You see why Larry likes this sign type?

Using thick white acrylic and routing down the sheet so raised letters push through the routed sign face provides the cool look of this store front sign

The other sign type that looks cool is a bit tricky to produce and or manufacture.

It’s called push through acrylic sign lettering like you see in the second photo on this release.

One simply takes a thick sheet of white acrylic and routes (planes) out the space between the sign letters so that the only thing that is raised is the sign letters them self on the sheet of acrylic white.

On the manufactured sign cabinet, to code, the face of the sign cabinet is routed out leaving the openings for the white acrylic routed raised sign letters to magically push through the sign cabinet face.

If the routing of the acrylic and the sign cabinet face is precise you get a really cool looking sign where each push through letter or character glows from the front and the sides (wow).

Sure these types of cool looking store front, restaurant, business or retail mall sign may cost a little but more but look how cool they look.

Look how the halo effect creates elegant feel and notice how easy to read the push through letters are to read.

Thus, now you have a few of Larry’s favorite type of signs you may want to get a quote on if you plan on opening a new store front, restaurant or business.
