Backlit Signs and Logos
Starting at: $1,200.00
Backlit signs are a sleek, high-impact option for elevating your office or building signage—indoors or out. With low-voltage LED lighting available in warm white, cool white, or full-spectrum RGB, you can match your brand and create a stunning halo glow that brings your signage to life. Power access is required, but the visual payoff is unmatched.
Choose from individual backlit letters fabricated from stainless steel or aluminum, or opt for a backlit panel sign that serves as a raceway to conceal wiring. Panel options include reverse-cut letters, push-through acrylic letters, or dimensional backlit logos assembled on the face. Each sign is built to last, weather-sealed for outdoor use, and backed by professional nationwide installation to ensure a seamless finish.
