Hopefully this should give you all a better understanding of what can be done with illuminated signs and built up letters. The bold bright colours are nearly impossible to replicate and there is sometimes nothing else that can match the effect neon gives you. Neon has been around for an extremely long time, and is what everyone thinks of when it comes to an illuminated sign. It gives a look of floating letters coming through the window that has been extremely popular with Jones the Bootmaker, and many of our clients.įinally we come to neon. The light shines through the glass to the acrylic letter on the exterior illuminating the sign. There are steel tubes that subtly hold all the electrics that run power to the LEDs mounted in the interior part of the letter. This is where we mount half the letters onto the outside of a glass frontage, then the other half on the inside of the glass.
This has proved extremely popular with some clients and we believe it is only a matter of time before Matrix illumination really takes off and becomes a household name of illumination in the signage industry.Īnother developed product from Graffiti Design is our very own Trax method. Using exposed LED light bulbs or pushed through LEDs on the face of the letters to achieve a retro style. Matrix illuminated letters are a new take on traditional fairground style of illuminated letters. The main fascia signage for Oasis used this method.
#Illuminated letters full
Side illumination is very similar to full letter illumination, as the letters would be built up acrylic with internal LEDs, however the face would be covered so only the returns illuminate. We have used these types of illuminated letters for Red Bull Racing.
LEDs in the backs of the letters illuminate the entire area as the acrylic is semi-translucent. We manufacture face illuminated letters for Monsoon stores.įull letter illumination can only be used with built up acrylic letters.
Again, LEDs would be used to illuminate the face. The face of the letter would be acrylic, with either stainless steel or aluminium returns. They are bright, bold and really stand out on the high street. LEDs would be mounted inside the letter to illuminate back onto the fascia as the letters would be stood off.įace illumination is also a very popular form of retail signage, and probably the first port-of-call when it comes to illuminated signs. Halo can be used on any type of built up letter, from aluminium, stainless steel, modelboard and acrylic. It gives a classy and sophisticated yet subtle illumination of the sign. These are very popular on the high streets of the UK and amongst retailers especially. All are effective and have their own individual strengths and purposes.įirstly there is halo illuminated letters. They are halo illumination, face illumination, full letter illumination, side illumination, Matrix illumination, Trax illumination and the classic neon. There are really seven different types of illuminated letters, so deciding isn’t straight forward. This should help you to understand and get some ideas of what would be best for you. However, there are so many different looks and methods of illumination it is tricky for our customers to make the right decision to achieve their desired results. Great, this is one of the areas we really specialise in. At Graffiti we get many enquiries for illuminated letters.
