Why Choose Custom Neon Signs

Custom neon signs offer a long-lasting alternative for a business looking to accomplish any of a number of advertising goals. While standard neon signs like those that announce a business is open or closed or point the way to the restrooms are valuable, custom neon signs designed specifically for a business like a restaurant can have an even greater impact.

Advantages Offered by Custom Neon Signs

• Inexpensive. Neon signs are not very expensive, and unlike other forms of advertising, are a one-time expensive that can last for many years. Experts have estimated that a neon sign has a life of about 200,000 hours - which should translate to about 10 years - about twice as long as a traditional LED sign.
• Noticeable. With colors that can range from green to yellow to red and orange, custom neon signs are attention grabbers. Blinking signs and those that simulate motion are even more eye-catching.
• Distinctive. Perhaps because of the rich history of neon signs, there's something distinctive about a custom neon sign designed specifically to show off a company's logo or name, or to announce a price for the most popular item in a restaurant, for example.

Customers Can Design Custom Neon Signs

Another advantage to custom neon signs is that the customer can handle virtually all of the design decisions and taken advantage of online design software to get an idea of what the custom neon sign will look like. Here are some of the choices a customer can make with custom neon signs:

• Size. The size of your custom neon sign will depend quite a bit on whatever design or artwork is involved, along with any text, but a customer can compare how the size looks by simulating various sizes using the design software.
• Graphic element. Send in a business card or picture showing the company logo or sketch the graphic element you want for your custom neon sign. Professional glass blowers, who shape the glass tubes that make up the custom neon sign, are capable of reproducing virtually any design.
• Colors and lettering. Most custom neon sign companies will offer a selection of colors and distinctive fonts for any lettering in your sign. While neon signs are limited in the number of colors, there still is range of about a dozen colors that include greens, blues, red and orange.
