What do you need for a channel letter quote?Your logo or business name, the approximate size of the sign, the lighting style you like and a photo of the building front. Vector logo files (AI, EPS, PDF or SVG) work best, but a PNG or JPG is fine to start.
Can you match my logo and brand colors?Yes. We design the letters around your logo, fonts and brand colors, and you approve a 3D rendering before fabrication.
What is the difference between front-lit and halo-lit letters?Front-lit letters shine light through the face of each letter. Halo-lit letters shine light onto the wall behind them, creating a soft glow around the letters.
How long do channel letters take?Timing depends on the size, materials and lighting. We give you an estimated timeline together with your quote.
