A lighting display assembly includes a light guide frame composed of at least two or more light guide frame parts and a light source. The frame parts are made of material that is transparent to light. The light guide frame includes a front and rear surface, and a center opening extending between the surfaces and defining an inner sidewall. The light source is configured to emit light and is positioned facing the inner sidewall so that light emitted therefrom passes through the inner sidewall and into the frame. A surface structure formed in or on the frame and is positioned to be illuminated by the light emitted from the light source and entering the inner sidewall of the frame so that the light is scattered and/or refracted and is emitted from the front surface of the frame. A controller is configured to controllably activate and deactivate the light source.
