Halo-lit hockey stick emblems
Two 9-inch halo-lit hockey emblems for a sports venue sign package. Lux specified satin-blue 304 stainless steel and acrylic construction with a 1.5-inch depth. The finished workshop photo shows both pieces illuminated.
The brief
A recognizable shape at a small scale.
The trade project called for two matching crossed-stick emblems. The pieces had to preserve the silhouette at a quoted width of nine inches and coordinate with the other illuminated signs in the package.
The September production sheet specified 3500 K for the emblems. The customer asked Lux to match the other signs at 5000 K, and the October revision reflects that change. A workshop photo shows the rear glow on both completed pieces. The photo itself does not establish color temperature.
Can a small logo be made as a halo-lit sign?
Yes, when the shape leaves enough room for the lighting and hardware. These crossed-stick emblems were specified at 9 inches wide by 10.9 inches high. For a new logo, send the artwork and target size so Lux can review stroke width, wiring, and mounting.

Project workflow
From quoted artwork to workshop proof
Align the lighting specification
Lux revised the color and lighting details, sent the October artwork for review, and received approval to proceed before production.
Photograph the finished pair
Lux sent finished workshop photos after quality checks and requested shipping confirmation.
Documented outcome: both emblems were fabricated, illuminated on the workshop bench, and photographed for the customer’s pre-shipment review.
For sign companies
What to confirm before you quote
Supply the complete outline
Include vector artwork, target width, and the smallest strokes or gaps. The narrowest parts of a logo can determine which construction is feasible.
Specify the surrounding signs
If several illuminated signs share a space, list the intended light color, wall finish, and viewing conditions so the package can be reviewed together.
Trade questions
Quoting small halo-lit logos
How is a halo-lit emblem different from a front-lit emblem?
On a halo-lit sign, light is directed behind the sign so the mounting surface picks up the glow. A front-lit sign sends light through the face. For an opaque satin-blue face like this one, rear illumination preserves the face color while making the outline visible.
Can every logo be made at nine inches wide?
Nine inches was the width specified for this crossed-stick design. Other artwork may require more room for LEDs, wiring and mounting. Send the vector file at the intended size so the narrowest strokes and gaps can be checked before the quote is finalized.
What affects how the halo looks on site?
The wall color, surface texture, mounting clearance, and surrounding light affect the glow. Share a wall photo and finish reference. If the emblem needs to match another illuminated sign, specify the target light color for both.
What should a sign company send to quote this style?
Send vector artwork, the intended width and height, quantity, finish or paint reference, interior or exterior location, wall material, and the desired light color. Include any mounting or power-supply constraints from your installer.
Quoting a similar sign?
Send the artwork, approximate dimensions, quantity, wall surface, and any lighting standard the project needs to match.
