Lit from the front
LED modules inside each letter shine forward through the acrylic face, creating an even, consistent glow across the full face — no hot spots, no dark edges.
Every curve, shaped to your brand
Every frontlit sign is built with a stainless steel rim, cut to the exact shape of your logo — not a generic font pulled off a shelf. We'll recommend a finish that suits your space, or color-match the acrylic face to your brand exactly.

Common questions about frontlit signage — materials, visibility, installation, and how it all works.
What's the difference between frontlit and backlit signs?
Frontlit signs shine light through the face of the letter, illuminating the face itself. Backlit signs shine light from behind, creating a soft glow around the edges. Frontlit is the higher-visibility option; backlit has a more subtle, refined look.
How much does a custom frontlit sign cost?
Most frontlit signs start around $500 and go up depending on size, letter count, and finish. We'll send a full quote once we've seen your design.
Can frontlit signs be installed outdoors?
Yes — frontlit signs are one of the most common choices for exterior storefronts. Weatherproofing is built into the design for any outdoor install.
How long does a custom frontlit sign take to produce?
Most signs take 2–5 weeks from design sign-off. We'll confirm a timeline once your design is locked.
Do I need a professional installer for a frontlit sign?
Most clients use their own licensed electrician for final wiring. We provide full mounting specs, and can coordinate installation directly if you'd prefer.
