Home / Channel Letters
Your signage should perform day and night. OC Sign Group designs and fabricates custom channel letter signs that help Portland businesses stand out with clarity, style, and precision. Built for visibility, durability, and energy efficiency, our illuminated letters deliver a clean, professional look that elevates your brand presence around the clock.
Channel letters are three-dimensional, individually illuminated letters typically mounted on building exteriors. They feature aluminum returns, acrylic faces, and internal LED lighting for consistent brightness and visibility. We engineer commercial channel letter signs that reflect your brand’s design while meeting all local electrical and building standards.
Illuminated channel letters make your business visible day and night, even in crowded commercial districts. Our lighting systems use energy-efficient LEDs that maintain brightness while reducing power costs.
Every channel letter sign is designed to match your logo, colors, and typography. We ensure consistent brand representation across all locations.
Our outdoor channel letter signs are built to withstand Oregon’s variable weather. Each sign is sealed against moisture and UV exposure for long-term performance.
We handle all permitting, electrical integration, and mounting requirements—ensuring safe, code-compliant installations for every project.
Each channel letter sign is fabricated using aluminum, acrylic, polycarbonate, and LED lighting components. We use CNC cutting, UV printing, and powder coating to ensure structural integrity and visual consistency. Every sign is wired, tested, and inspected for even illumination and electrical safety.
Here’s a selection of channel letter types crafted for different architectural and branding needs:
Front-Lit Channel Letters
The most common style—bright, clear, and highly visible. LED lighting illuminates the face for maximum readability day or night.
Back-Lit (Halo) Channel Letters
LEDs cast light behind each letter, creating a subtle glow for a sophisticated, premium look ideal for upscale or corporate brands.
Combination-Lit Letters
Both face and halo illumination for striking visual depth and enhanced nighttime visibility.
Open-Face Channel Letters
Retro-style letters featuring exposed neon or LED tubing—perfect for restaurants and entertainment venues.
Non-Illuminated Dimensional Letters
Ideal for interiors or lighted environments where 3D depth adds branding impact without illumination.
Our channel letters can be seen on retail stores, corporate buildings, healthcare centers, and campuses across Portland and Oregon City. Each installation is planned for maximum visibility, electrical efficiency, and structural stability.
Businesses across Portland trust OC Sign Group to deliver illuminated signage that performs beautifully and stands the test of time.
