Neon game controller symbols: four signs on a dark wall

The four symbols

These are the four symbols from a games console controller: a green triangle, a red circle, a blue cross and a pink square. Each one is a glowing outline. They are mounted in a row on a dark wall. Anyone who has used a games controller will know them. Each symbol makes a long coloured reflection on the shiny floor below, so you see each colour twice.

Why simple shapes suit neon

Neon works best with simple shapes in strong colours. These signs have no text to read. They are four bright outlines, and they change the look of the room when they are switched on. On a dark wall, the colours look even stronger.

Today, most neon-style signs use flexible LED neon instead of glass tubes. LED neon gives the same continuous line of light. It is lighter than glass and does not break as easily. This makes it practical for a games room, a gaming shop, a bar or a stand at an event.
