Storefront signs: The best types and where to buy

Storefront sign of College Park designed by Envision Orlando

A storefront sign is any sign mounted on or around a building’s facade. You’ll see a variety of these around Orlando, Florida.

And, while there are many types of storefront signs that come in a wide array of shapes, sizes, and styles, all storefront signs are designed with the same three basic goals in mind:

  • Promote sales, products, and services
  • Build brand authority
  • Provide landmarks for wayfinding

For the best storefront signs in Orlando, partner with Envision Orlando.

Storefront Channel Letter Signs & Lit Shape Signs

Channel letters are one of the most popularly used storefront signs in Orlando. These are individually made three-dimensional letters put together to create a sign. Usually, these are used outdoors, mounted on a store or building façade.

There are four main types of channel letters:

  1. Front-Lit Channel Letter Signs: These signs have LED lights installed within the letter frame, creating a sign that glows from within. Front-lit channel letters are usually the standard option you can get.
  1. Backlit Channel Letter Signs: These have LED lights installed behind each letter. When the sign is mounted away from the wall, it creates a warm glow around the sign. This halo effect is very attractive, especially at night.
  1. Front & Backlit Channel Letters & Logos: This is a combination of the first two types. The vibrance you get is perfect for an eye-catching sign. From day until night people are sure to take notice.
  1. Open-Faced Channel Letters: Channel letters usually have an acrylic front face. However, for these signs, the acrylic is removed, exposing the LED lights from within. The exposed LED lights create neon channel letters.

Custom Channel Letter Sign Styles

Aside from the main types of channel letters, there are also other styles you can choose. Envision Orlando ensures you have the right options that work best for your business in FL.

We offer various illumination options. For instance, you can choose different colored LED lights for your front-lit/reverse channel letter signs. This can elevate your sign and make it better for branding.

Contour channel letters are also an option. Instead of individual letters put together, these signs are designed with all the letters connected. They’re great for signs that are too small to make into individual channel letters.

Self-contained letters, on the other hand, are similar to cabinet signs. However, they are thinner and shaped according to your design. These have LED lights installed within, making your sign glow.

Why Choose LED Channel Letters for Your Storefront

When choosing a sign for your storefront, it’s important to go for one that makes your FL business distinct. If you look like the other businesses around you, it’s easy to fade into the background.

Here’s why channel letters are a popular storefront sign choice in Orlando:

  1. These signs are highly customizable. This means having a sign that matches your brand. With a customized sign, you’re sure to start building brand awareness at the first point of contact.
  2. Block channel letters increase your visibility. These bright, vibrant signs are great when you want your sign to be seen, even from a distance. Day and night, customers are sure to spot your sign amongst a crowd of other businesses.
  3. They’re long-lasting. Enjoy the rewards of your storefront sign investment for years with channel letters. They are made with hardwearing materials like aluminum and acrylic, perfect for outdoor use. These signs also use LED lights which can last a long time without burning out.

    Stephen was very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. I heard of him through a chain of friends and contacted him about adding a pinstripe onto my Ford Focus ST. He gave me a great quote and we set up a time to get the job done. He was quick and thorough. I’m very happy with the results and I feel the price was very fair and competitive. I would use Envision again!!

    I would like to thank Envision for providing us with a new sign. They were very efficient. Todd and Stephen definitely were very helpful since day one. I got quote the same day and our sign was ready less than a week. We're looking forward to do business with them again.

    I reached out to Todd with Envision Orlando. I wanted to get a yard sign made and I didn't have a design pdf, but I have a picture of a similar sign. He took the picture I gave him and was able to recreate it perfectly and in the size that I wanted! The process was very easy and they were very quick to respond to my messages. I would highly recommend working with this company. I plan to use them in the future for anything else I need made.

    Envision Orlando provided just what we needed without blinking an eye. We are a small non-profit in North Carolina and we needed portable trail maps for our nature programs. We had the map but could not find anyone to produce multiple, crisp copies. Stephen worked with me going over every inch of the map, sharpening the legibility until it was perfect. He also worked within our budget to find the right waterproof, foldable paper and success! We will be back again. I highly recommend Stephen and Todd for thinking creatively, carefully and comprehensively. Thank you!
