If channel letters and halo letters are about individual characters making a statement, push through signs are about the sign as a whole. Built from a routed aluminum panel with acrylic letters pushed through from behind, they offer a clean, unified look that's especially well suited for complex logos, smaller lettering, and businesses that want a polished illuminated sign. In this installment of The Sign Guide, we break down what push through signs are, how they work, and when they might be the right fit for your Honolulu business.

Not all illuminated signs are created equal. In our latest Sign Guide, we're breaking down halo letters — also known as reverse channel letters — and what makes them different from your standard channel letter sign. The indirect glow, welded seamless construction, and upscale aesthetic make them a favorite for hotels, boutiques, and fine dining. Check out the full guide to see if halo letters are the right fit for your business.

If you're a business owner in Honolulu considering new storefront signage, channel letters are worth a close look.

We just published a full breakdown in our Sign Guide series covering everything from construction to installation. Give it a read if you're in the market for a signage upgrade.
