Good custom office signs can make a real difference to how a business is seen. Whether it is the first thing a customer notices outside your premises or the branding they see when they walk into your reception, a well-designed sign can help create a strong and lasting impression.
Halo signage and LED signage are particularly useful when you want your branding to have a little more impact. The addition of lighting can bring a company name, logo or individual letters to life, creating a feature that works both during the day and after dark.
At Surrey Shop Signs, we create illuminated signage for businesses looking for something that reflects their brand and complements their premises.
What Is Halo Signage?
Halo signage is created by placing LED lighting behind raised letters or a logo. Instead of the light shining directly towards the viewer, it creates a soft glow against the wall behind the lettering.
This produces the distinctive ‘halo’ effect that gives the sign its name.
It is a popular choice for reception areas, building entrances and feature walls because it adds depth without overwhelming the surrounding space. The effect can be subtle or more prominent depending on the size, colour and design of the sign.
Where Can LED Signage Be Used?
LED lighting can be incorporated into a wide range of business signage.
Some popular applications include:
- Reception signs
- Company logos
- Shop fronts
- Office entrances
- Restaurant signage
- Hotel branding
- Commercial buildings
- Interior feature walls
- Directional signage
This makes illuminated signage suitable for businesses across many different industries.
Creating an Eye-Catching Reception
For offices and commercial premises, reception areas provide an excellent opportunity to use illuminated branding.
A raised company logo with halo lighting can create a focal point behind the reception desk, while LED lettering can make the company name immediately visible to visitors.
It can also work particularly well alongside other interior branding, including acrylic letters, custom metal signs and wall graphics.
Designed Around Your Brand
One of the biggest advantages of bespoke signage is that it can be created around your business rather than forcing your branding into a standard design. Lettering, colours, materials, dimensions and lighting can all be considered as part of the design. This means a professional services company might choose a refined, understated illuminated logo, while a retail or hospitality business may want something brighter and more prominent.
Suitable Inside and Outside
Illuminated signage isn’t restricted to interiors. LED technology can also be used as part of external business signage, helping companies remain visible when natural light begins to fade.
For shops, restaurants and other customer-facing businesses, this can help maintain a strong visual presence into the evening.
