Custom Neon Letter Signs: Standard Design Choices
(1) No BackBoard Design
The design without a backboard adopts a minimalist approach, with the transparent backboard cut to a size close to the diameter of the neon tubes. The backboard is not visible, and only the neon tubes with a diameter of approximately 6-8mm can be seen. There are 3mm mounting holes at both ends of the tubes, allowing them to be installed on a wall or other backgrounds.
(2) Cut to Sign Outline
The backing board for the neon tubes is cut according to the overall outline of the neon design, matching the contours of the neon sign, resulting in a more streamlined and smooth appearance. Due to the variations in fonts and text lines, this type of backing board does not have a specific shape. For designs with script fonts or multi-line text, this backing board design requires a strong sense of aesthetics to avoid irregular curve cuts.
(3) Cut to Letter Shape
This type of neon sign backing board is precisely cut to match the shape of the neon sign's letters or patterns, rather than a whole shape or standard geometric shape. The advantage of this approach is that it minimizes the visible area of the backing board, making the neon letters or design the focal point with almost no unnecessary background interference. This method is especially suitable for those who want the neon sign to blend seamlessly with the background or for those pursuing a minimalist design style.
(4) Cut into Rectangle, Square or Circle
Choosing to cut the backing board into geometric shapes such as rectangles, squares, circles, or hearts is a common practice in neon sign design, suitable for regular fonts and non-cursive fonts. This approach not only provides a minimalist and modern aesthetic but also makes installation easy, offering clear and orderly boundaries that enhance the modern feel of the space. Geometric-shaped backing boards are ideal for spaces pursuing a minimalist style.
(5) Letter Printed Backboard
The Letter Printed Backboard prints each letter on the backing board of the neon sign, and then the neon tubes are installed over the printed letters. Even when the neon sign is turned off, it can still convey the brand message and display the brand name. This printed letter backboard ensures that each letter is clearly visible at all times, thereby enhancing the sign's recognizability and continuity.
(6) Neon Tubes Installed in a Box with a Clear Cover
The neon tubes are installed in a box with a clear acrylic cover on the front panel, which protects the tubes while evenly distributing the light. The box itself can be made from translucent acrylic in any color or from customized metal. This design not only enhances the durability of the neon sign but also provides additional protection against dust and physical damage. Moreover, the covered box offers a sleek appearance, making the neon sign look more professional and modern.
