An Illuminated sign can help your business attract attention, even in dark or low-light conditions.
LED business signs come in all different shapes and sizes, from huge shopfront signs to freestanding informational signs.
There are many ways to illuminate a sign, and it’s important to choose a style that aligns with both your branding and business goals.
In this article, we’ll explore five different types of illuminated signage, offering inspiration to help you find the perfect fit for your business.
Five examples of custom LED business signs
Need some help designing the perfect illuminated sign for your business?
In this section, we’ll learn more about five different types of custom illuminated signage, helping you understand the options available and choose the style that best meets your business’s needs.
Backlit signs
Backlit signs, sometimes called facelit signs, are one of the boldest and brightest options available.
They are popular with businesses whose primary goal is to stand out from the businesses around them and increase their visibility at night.
This type of signage features letters or a logo made from translucent material, often strong acrylic.
LEDs are installed inside or behind the lettering or logo to light it up from within.
Neon signs
Neon signs are bright, colourful, and often used to create a playful retro vibe. They are a popular option with businesses that want to add fun and personality to their signage.
Neon signs used to be made using gas-filled glass tubes that lit up brightly when an electrical current was passed through them. Today, modern neon lights use flexible LED strips to replicate the look.
Modern LED neon is safer, more durable, and more energy efficient than traditional neon signs.
Halo signs
Halo signs give off a more subtle and soft glow than backlit and neon signs. Their understated appearance makes them popular with luxury brands and professional businesses like law firms that want to project a more elegant or premium look.
Halo signs are typically made from an opaque material, with LEDS mounted behind the letters or logo to create a glow or ‘halo’ around the edges of the sign.
Lightbox signs
Lightbox signs are a versatile option commonly used by businesses to light up shopfront signs, logos, menus, or promotional information.
They consist of a sign within a box with a transparent front panel and an internal light source, which provides consistent, even lighting across the entire face of the sign. Lightbox signs can either be wall-mounted or freestanding, depending on your requirements.
Digital signs
Digital signs are used by businesses to showcase animated or video content, slideshows, or real-time information. They are one of the most flexible and engaging signage options and are the perfect option for businesses that want to update their messaging regularly or capture attention with movement.
Digital signs use high-resolution LED or LCD screens to display dynamic content, which can be easily updated or tailored to different times of day, promotions, or events.
