Read on to learn more about each type of sign, or click the headings below to be taken to each section:
CHANNEL LETTERS
DESCRIPTION: Channel letters are custom-made standalone pieces, often made of metal or plastic, that are mounted to a frame or backboard. Channel letters can be recessed and combined with lights, as shown in the picture above, or they can be solid pieces.
PERFECT FOR: Businesses looking for some whimsy in their marketing. Channel letters are big, bold, and distinctive, so make sure they don’t look out of place with the rest of the storefront.
Commonly used by fairgrounds, hawker stalls and small businesses, or by pubs and cafes looking for a contemporary industrial feel.

ILLUMINATED SIGNS
DESCRIPTION: Many signs can be reworked to include illumination or back-lighting. The most common types of illuminated signs are pylon and monument signs, which are detached from the main building, and often placed near a road or entrance so that customers can see information about the business without having to come closer.
Like the example above, some illuminated signs have modular displays, so that plazas can swap out different slats based on what businesses are currently open in the area.
PERFECT FOR: Any business that plans on being frequently open late. A bright sign helps people find you and is a quick shorthand for indicating that you’re still open.
Remember that illuminated signs need electricity to run, meanings the installation process can be pricier and more involved.

AWNINGS
DESCRIPTION: “How can I choose between all the storefront signs near me?” If you need a sign that is a straightforward way to make your business appear professional, an awning may be perfect.
Awnings protrude from the building and can be material stretched across a frame, or sheeting held in place.
PERFECT FOR: Businesses that want to evoke a quaint, welcoming atmosphere. Awnings are a staple for cozy small-town businesses. They look great, and they double as a practical way to get protection from the hot sun or the rain.

BANNERS
DESCRIPTION: Banners can be made of vinyl, plastic mesh, canvas, or even fabric, and printed with any design. The banners are either fabricated with loops on the end so they can hang from frames, or they adhere to metal frames for security.
PERFECT FOR: Advertising, portability, temporary signs, or flags. Banners are cheap and incredibly flexible. If no other style fits your need, you can design a banner that will.
