Neon inspiration:
ideas for creating a custom neon sign
Neon is more than just a beautiful, glowing quote on your wall! It is a way to express yourself with all of your personality, your thoughts and your memories. You have the complete liberty to develop your ideas and create something completely unique, because our neons are available in almost every shape or colour and our team of designers and engineers will support you with the implementation of your idea!
All you need is... creativity!
When it comes to creating your own customised neon sign, all you need is creativity. Developing the design of your neon is really similar to the thought process of creating your own tattoo. In both cases, you want to capture something special, something that means so much to you that you want to share it with the people around you.
And that’s something that first and foremost needs inspiration! If you haven’t yet found your idea, then this blog post will perhaps help you. We want to get your imagination rolling – that is why we have collected a few of our all-time favourite neons to show you the ideas behind them.
Creative categories
for custom neon signs
1. Name
Our first one is relatively simple, but this does not necessarily mean that it is less original or meaningful. It can be the name of your brand or business, yourself, an important person or maybe your favourite place or food. A name often has a hidden meaning, which makes it even more powerful and unique.
2. Mantra
Maybe you have a motto that you live by and love, or maybe your business has a catchy slogan. That could be enough reason to create a custom neon sign with it and place it in your walls so you can see it every day – your daily dose of inspiration.
3. Your Happy Place
Do you want to light your home or your office with a cool, positive message in neon lights? This does not only guarantee a unique look, it also creates a feel-good atmosphere that turns the space into your personal retreat.
4. Motif
With us you can not only design your own lettering, you also have the opportunity to turn an image or an icon into a neon. From angel wings or an animal to your personal Christmas sign or something that is emblematic of your company or business – we have already seen a lot of cool ideas!
5. Artwork
Neon and art have always been closely related – so why not turn your own original artwork into a custom neon sign! Or maybe even a portrait of yourself or your favourite artist. Who would you pick for a custom neon portrait?
6. Your Logo
The original purpose of neon signs was to advertise bars or nightclubs – and they haven’t lost any of their charm in the 100+ years that neon has been used commercially. Turning your company logo into a custom neon sign gives it a timeless quality and a warm, vintage look that is guaranteed to turn heads and make you happy whenever you look at it!
