Utah County’s #1 Choice For Custom Electric Signs

When choosing electric signage for your business, understanding the key differences between options is crucial for making the right impact. Here's a quick breakdown of how these sign types differ and where they shine:​

​

Different Electric Sign Types

​

  • Channel Letter Signs: These are three-dimensional, individually crafted letters or logos mounted directly to a building. Channel letters can be illuminated in multiple ways—front-lit, back-lit, or both—making them ideal for bold, professional branding on storefronts, offices, and other building facades.

​​

  • Custom Shaped Illuminated Cabinets: Unlike channel letters, which emphasize individual characters, front-illuminated signs use a single illuminated face, often as part of a box or panel design. These are versatile and work well for presenting your logo, company name, or other detailed designs in a clear, eye-catching format.

​

  • Monument Signs: Low-profile and grounded, monument signs are freestanding structures often used at the entrances of business parks, neighborhoods, or standalone establishments. They can incorporate a variety of materials—brick, stone, or metal—and include illuminated or non-illuminated panels for maximum visibility. These signs are perfect for creating a professional and welcoming impression.

​

  • Pylon/Pole Signs: These towering signs are built to be seen from a distance, often by drivers on highways or busy roads. Mounted on single or double poles, pylon signs frequently feature large, illuminated panels and can house multiple business names in shared commercial spaces. They are ideal for high-traffic areas where visibility is paramount.

​

  • Electronic Message Centers (EMC): Digital signs typically feature an LED display board or screen, and electronic message centers are a versatile type of exterior sign that can be custom fabricated or integrated into existing signage. EMCs provide dynamic digital advertising by displaying text or graphics that can be updated electronically as often as needed. Digital LED signage is an excellent way to capture attention due to its changing display and high visibility both day and night. At Pro Signs in Orem, Utah, we provide custom digital signage solutions for a wide range of businesses. Our services include fabricating and installing indoor and outdoor electronic message signs, LED church displays, and digital signage for schools and businesses.

Front & Backlit Channel Letters

Some channel letters are both front and back, lit, having both illuminated faces and edges. Typically, these hybrid letters use different colors of vinyl so that the inner and outer parts of each letter contrast one another.

​

The use of multiple colors presents numerous opportunities to customize appearance and create a striking visual impact for viewers.

 

Do use of RGB lights is another alternative. The letter structure is similar to ordinary, frontlet, channel letters, HALO lit, channel letters, or front and back, lit channel letters, with front lit RGB channel letters being the most appealing and popular.

Channel Letter Signs Can Help Your Business To Stand Out

​Your physical location is one of your most significant business assets. With channel letter sign, you can leverage your premises and attract customers. Before LED lights became common, individual letters were done with neon lights, which were expensive, heavy, and used a lot of power. Now, with LED lights inside the letters, they are cheaper, lighter, and last much longer than neon sign letters.
