That means Graphic Design, Survey and Permitting, Project Management, and Installation are all managed by our team. You don’t need to track down a fabricator, a permit runner, and a separate installer. We handle the full project from first conversation to final sign-off.

Three Types of Channel Letters, One Team to Build Them

Not all channel letter signs look the same, and the right style depends on your brand, your building, and the impression you want to make. All three types use LED illumination for reliable, energy-efficient brightness.

Face Illuminated Channel Letters
Light passes through a translucent acrylic face, making the letters glow from the front. These are bold, easy to read at any distance, and work especially well for retail storefronts and businesses that need maximum street-level visibility.

Reverse Illuminated Channel Letters
Also called halo channel letters or backlit channel letters, this style mounts letters away from the wall so LED light casts a soft glow behind a solid aluminum face. The result is a floating, architectural look that suits professional services, healthcare offices, and brands that want a polished, upscale presence.

Combination-Lit or Front/Back Lit Channel Letters
This approach combines front and back illumination simultaneously, creating a high-contrast effect with the option for multiple colors. It’s a strong choice for brands that want bold visual impact in a dense commercial corridor.

Why London Businesses Work with FASTSIGNS® of London, ON - East

A channel letter sign project involves more than fabricating letters. Before installation begins, the project requires a site survey, a design review, a permit application, and coordination with your building management or landlord. London, Ontario’s municipal bylaws govern the size, placement, and illumination of commercial signs, and those requirements have to be met before anything goes up.

Managing those steps through a single team means fewer gaps and no handoff delays between vendors. Our visual communication team, project managers, and graphic designers work together from the start. We coordinate Survey and Permitting directly, including outreach to property management when commercial lease signage requirements are part of the picture.

Who Uses Channel Letter Signs in London, Ontario

Channel letters appear across nearly every commercial sector, partly because they’re effective and partly because many commercial leases require them. If you’re a tenant in a shopping centre or retail plaza in London, your property management sign criteria may already specify this format.

Retail storefronts and shopping centre tenants: Channel letters satisfy most property management sign programs and support foot traffic by making your location easy to spot for passing shoppers.
Restaurants and hospitality businesses: LED illumination keeps your sign visible into the evening, exactly when peak traffic arrives and ambient light drops.
Medical, dental, and healthcare offices: Reverse Illuminated Channel Letters offer a professional, understated look that aligns with clinical brand standards without sacrificing visibility.
Corporate offices and professional services firms: Halo channel letters deliver an architectural presence that signals an established, committed business.
Fitness centres, salons, and personal care businesses: Face Illuminated Channel Letters provide high-visibility street presence in active commercial corridors where competition for attention is real.

How a Channel Letter Project Works at FASTSIGNS® of London, ON - East

We follow a straightforward process so you always know where your project stands. Here’s what to expect from consultation through installation.

Consultation & Site Survey

We start by learning about your business goals, brand standards, and building layout. Our team then conducts a site survey to assess the facade, mounting surface, and electrical access. This step shapes every decision that follows.

Graphic Design & Client Approval

Our designers develop the letter sizing, color, illumination style, and layout for your channel letter signs. Nothing moves to production until you’ve reviewed and approved the design. Letters can be mounted flush to the facade or on a raceway, depending on the building structure and the look you want to achieve.

Survey & Permitting

We coordinate the permit application with London’s municipal requirements and handle outreach to landlords or property management teams when approvals are needed. This step keeps the project on schedule and off your plate.

Fabrication & Installation

Once permits are in place and the design is approved, fabrication moves forward. LED modules provide bright, low-maintenance illumination and are standard in all channel letter builds we manage. Our team then coordinates installation, with your sign mounted correctly and positioned for maximum visibility on your building.
