What Are Channel Letters?
Dimensional Signage That Commands Attention
Channel letters are three-dimensional, individually fabricated alphanumeric characters used as exterior storefront signage. Each letter is built with an aluminum return, an acrylic face, and internal LED lighting — creating bold, readable signage day and night.
They are the most recognized form of commercial signage in Los Angeles, from Sunset Strip to Wilshire Boulevard — and DVS Signage builds every set in-house, from raw aluminum to finished install.
F
FACE
Translucent acrylic or polycarbonate panel — available in any color or opacity. Light passes through to create a vibrant glow.
R
Return
Aluminum sheeting bent to the letter shape, forming the depth (3–8 inches) of the channel. Powder-coated in any Pantone color.
B
Back & Lighting
Router-cut aluminum back houses the UL-listed LED modules that provide even, energy-efficient illumination across the entire letter face.

Lighting Styles
Choose Your Illumination
Every lighting type creates a distinct visual effect. Our team helps you match the right style to your brand, location, and city permit requirements.
LETTERS LEDs illuminate from behind, casting a glowing "halo" effect onto the wall. Refined, upscale aesthetic — ideal for luxury retail, hospitality, and corporate lobbies.
LETTERS Light shines through the translucent acrylic face. Bold and bright — the gold standard for retail storefronts across LA. Visible from long distances day and night.
