02More information

What a neon sign is

A neon sign is a drawing made of lines of light. Words, outlines and simple symbols glow in strong colours on a wall or in a window. They look good in photos as well as in the room.

Our game controller symbols are an example. They are a green triangle, a red circle, a blue cross and a pink square. Each symbol is a single clean outline. They glow on a dark wall, and a shiny floor reflects them.

Designs that work as neon

Every line in your design becomes a line of light, so simple designs work best. Short words, handwriting-style scripts and bold outlines work well. Small text, shading, gradients and filled areas do not work, because a line of light cannot fill a shape. If your logo is detailed, we can draw a simpler outline version that people still recognise as your brand. We show it to you before anything is made.

Where to use a neon sign

Neon signs suit cafe and bar walls, salons and tattoo studios, games rooms and home bars. They also suit shop windows that people pass after dark, and photo walls at events and weddings. Most neon signs are used indoors. If you want one outside, tell us. The sign and its power supply then need protection from the weather.

How to get a quote

Send a sketch, a word or your logo. Tell us the rough size and where it will hang. Most neon-style signs run from a power adapter that plugs into a wall socket, so tell us where the nearest plug point is. We will confirm the options for your sign when we quote. For lit lettering, crests and logos on a building, see illuminated signs and light boxes.

FAQ

Neon & LED signs: questions

Have another question? Contact us or read the full FAQ.

01Is a custom neon sign made of real glass neon?
Usually not. Traditional neon is glass tubing filled with gas and bent by hand. Most custom neon signs today use LED neon flex. This is a flexible strip that gives a similar continuous line of light. It runs cooler than glass neon and breaks much less easily. We will confirm which option suits your sign when we quote.
02What designs work best as a neon sign?
Simple outlines, short words and bold shapes work best. Every line in the design becomes a line of light. Small text, shading and filled areas do not work well. Our controller symbols work because each one is a single clean outline.
03Can you turn my logo into a neon sign?
Often, yes, but we may need to simplify it. We can usually follow outlines and script lettering. We cannot follow colour gradients, shading or solid areas. We will draw a version that people still recognise as your logo, and we show it to you before anything is made.
04Can a neon sign go outside?
Sometimes. Most neon signs are indoors or behind a window. Outdoors, the sign and its power supply need protection from sun and rain. Tell us where you want it, and we will confirm what is possible when we quote.
05How much does a custom neon sign cost?
It depends mostly on the size, the total length of lit line, the number of colours and the backing. Send a sketch or your logo, a rough size, and where it will hang. We will then send you a quote.
06Does a neon sign need to be plugged in?
Yes. LED neon signs usually run from a power adapter that plugs into a normal wall socket. Put the sign near a plug point, or plan a neat route for the cable.
