But, it can be done. It can be done beautifully. And it can be not only cost-effective but also eco-friendly.

Here are a few beautiful reasons:

Channels letters have three-dimensional reach for improved readability and various lighting options for indoor and outdoor use.

The great thing with channel letters is that each letter and logo can stick out, literally. The extra texture and visibility within the letters allows for increased visibility and readability.

They can be read from most any scouted location. The reason is that the channel letters typically aren’t refined to shape, size, or color. They don't have to fit into a box or a screen.

Channel letters also have numerous lighting options, allowing for them to be installed in brightly-lit or dimly-lit locations. Channel letter lighting usually comes down to the following:

• back lit
• front lit
• face lit
• reverse / halo-illuminated lit
• open face-illuminated

The cost of maintenance for channel letters is typically low. Even lighted channel letters are relatively low, especially when they are lit by energy-efficient LED lights – which would also be a choice for those going for LEED certifications.

And if you go with energy-efficient lighting and recycled or LEED-approved materials, which will aid in that LEED certification.

Multiple mounting options.
