Rim and Return Letters with Face and Halo Illumination
Dual-Lit 3D Signage for Maximum Impact – Designed & Installed by Elite
Bring your brand to life with rim and return letters with face and halo illumination — a signage style that combines forward-facing brightness with a subtle rear halo glow. Designed to perform day and night, these built-up letters deliver both visibility and elegance.
At Elite Sign Solutions, we fabricate every sign in-house using premium materials, precision CNC cutting, and expert LED integration. The result is a durable, vibrant, and visually impressive sign that elevates your business.


What Are Rim and Return Letters with Face and Halo Illumination?
These letters feature aluminium returns (the side walls) with an illuminated acrylic face, framed by a trim cap for clean edges. Internally, LEDs light the face directly for strong daytime visibility. A second LED system or diffused rear panel emits a glowing halo from behind — giving the sign extra depth and standout after dark.
This dual lighting style creates a sharp and professional finish that’s ideal for customer-facing businesses.
Key Features of Rim and Return Letters
- Dual Illumination: Front-lit acrylic face with rear halo glow
- Built-Up Returns: Formed aluminium sides for structure and depth
- Trim Cap Finish: Crisp edge control with even face illumination

Elite was very helpful and very easy to work with. I had an idea in mind of what I wanted and after a site visit from them I had my ideas brought to life with a CGI image and also a few other options which I was advised may work better. In the end I went with a mixture of both and I couldn’t have been happier with the results. I would recommend Elite to every business which are trying to improve there image and grow there brand. Thank you

We purchased 10 custom t-shirts for our company, Twisted Spokes (part of JMW Solicitors). All t-shirts were excellent, exactly what we asked for and what are needed. They were delivered quickly and efficiently. Will 100% use Elite again, and will recommend them to anyone.
