Rear light. Opaque metal faces.
Choose this style when you want a halo on the wall without an illuminated letter face. A rear glow works with the mounting surface, so include a photo showing its color and texture.
Custom made for your brand
Custom Metal Backlit Signs
Dimensional metal logo signs and letters with opaque faces and a rear halo. Also called halo-lit or reverse-lit lettering, this style lights the wall behind your brand.
Opaque metal faces give the lettering a solid presence, while light behind each letter creates a halo on the wall. The wall becomes part of the sign’s appearance.

Plan your halo-lit business sign
Backlit, front-lit or double-lit?
A metal backlit sign sends light behind the lettering while the metal face stays opaque. Front-lit signs illuminate the letter faces; double-lit signs combine face illumination with a rear halo. Choose the effect first, then confirm the construction and finish in your quote.
Reception wall or exterior facade?
For an office or reception wall, share the wall color, texture and available space. For an outdoor business sign, also include a facade photo, exposure to weather, mounting height and any property requirements. Outdoor construction and electrical details must be confirmed for your project.
Questions about this sign type
Do the metal letter faces light up?
No. This style uses opaque metal faces with rear-only illumination. Light forms a halo on the mounting surface. If you want illuminated faces, compare our front-lit acrylic signs.
Can I order my own logo as a backlit sign?
Yes. Upload your logo or reference image, approximate overall width and height, and a wall photo. We review the shape, fine details and finish before preparing the mockup and quote.
How do I choose the wall and halo color?
The visible halo depends on the surface color, texture, spacing and surrounding light. Send a photo of the actual wall and tell us the appearance you want; the proposed lighting and mounting are confirmed with your design.
Are metal backlit signs available for outdoor use?
Outdoor projects can be quoted, but suitability depends on the final construction, exposure, mounting and electrical installation. Tell us how and where the sign will be used before approving it.
