Abstract: Various wearable bands capable of being illuminated are disclosed. A wearable band includes a band strip defining multiple openings therein, a light source, and multiple optical fibers. Each optical fiber has a first end and a second end, with the first end of each optical fiber operably coupled to the light source. Each optical fiber is configured to transmit light originating from the light source toward the second end. Light transmitted along each optical fiber is visible through a corresponding opening of the wearable band. The openings may be arranged to form at least one letter or symbol, may be arranged along an outline of a decoration on the band strip, may be arranged to fill a region within at least one letter or symbol located on the band strip, and/or may be arranged to enhance and be conformal with a graphical design located on the band strip.
