Custom Neon Signs, Formed to Order in LED
Turn a logo, a name, or a line of script into a glowing centerpiece. We form durable LED neon to your exact design — from 12" desk signs to 48"+ statement walls — with dimmers, cut-to-shape backboards, and indoor or outdoor builds.
Everything you need to know about custom neon signs
Custom neon signs are made-to-order light pieces formed from flexible LED neon tubing, bent and mounted to a clear or colored acrylic backboard in the exact shape of your artwork — a business logo, a couple’s names for a wedding, a bar’s tagline, or a phrase for a man cave wall. Modern LED neon delivers the same warm, continuous glow as classic glass neon, but it runs on low-voltage power, stays cool to the touch, resists breakage, and costs far less to run and ship.
Because every sign is built from scratch, the right specification depends on the space it will hang in and the job it needs to do. This guide walks through typical sign sizes and dimensions, the difference between LED neon and traditional glass, backboard and mounting options, color choices, and how quote-based pricing works. If you already know what you want, you can request a custom quote at any point.
A neon sign works twice — decor and marketing that glows
A printed banner gets ignored. A custom neon sign with your logo or message pulls eyes from across the room, photographs beautifully, and becomes the backdrop people share online. Whether it’s a storefront window, a wedding reception wall, or the shelf behind your bar, custom neon makes the space feel intentional and unmistakably yours.
Made from your art
Logos, script fonts, handwriting, even simple illustrations — we trace your design in LED neon so the finished sign matches your brand or vision exactly.
Built to last
Flexible LED neon on a sturdy acrylic backboard — no fragile glass, no gas, no high-voltage transformer. Cool-running and safe around kids, pets, and crowds.
Specced to your space
Pick the width, colors, backboard shape, and mounting. Add a dimmer or remote, and choose an indoor or outdoor-rated build for where it will hang.

We build & ship
Your sign is hand-formed, tested, packed in protective foam, and shipped with mounting hardware.
Neon sign sizes: which width do you need?
Width is the number that matters most — it decides how far away your sign reads and how much wall it commands. Compact 12"–18" signs suit desks, shelves, and small walls; 24"–36" signs anchor a room; 48"+ builds are made for storefronts and feature walls. Here’s how the common size classes compare.
Typical sign width by size class
Widths are nominal size classes — every sign is cut to your exact artwork, so we can build in between or beyond these marks.
Typical LED power draw by size
Approximate ranges for 12V/24V LED neon — comparable to a household light bulb, and far below the draw of traditional glass neon of similar size.
| Size class | Best for | Typical width | Power supply |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mini Gifts | Desks, shelves, bedside decor, gifting | ~12" | 12V plug-in adapter |
| Small | Home walls, man caves, small offices | ~18" | 12V plug-in adapter |
| Medium Popular | Weddings, bars, reception desks, photo walls | ~24" | 12V/24V adapter |
| Large | Restaurant walls, salons, retail interiors | ~36" | 24V adapter |
| XL | Storefronts, feature walls, event backdrops | 48"+ | 24V, sectioned if needed |
LED neon vs glass: modern materials, classic glow
Traditional neon is a glass tube filled with gas and driven by a high-voltage transformer — beautiful, but fragile, hot-running, and expensive to ship and repair. Our custom signs use flexible LED neon: a soft polymer-jacketed strip of LEDs that diffuses light into the same continuous line of glow, bent to your design and fixed to a laser-cut acrylic backboard. It runs on safe low-voltage power, stays cool, and survives shipping and everyday bumps that would shatter glass.
The backboard does more than hold the tubing. Choose clear acrylic that disappears against the wall, or a cut-to-shape board that follows the outline of your letters for a floating look. For patios, entryways, and storefront exteriors, we build with outdoor-rated tubing, sealed connections, and weather-resistant power supplies — tell us where the sign will live and we’ll spec the right build.
- Flexible LED neon tubing — even, continuous glow with no glass to break
- Acrylic backboard — clear, colored, or cut to the shape of your design
- Low-voltage power — 12V/24V adapter, cool to the touch
- Long-life LEDs — commonly rated for tens of thousands of hours
- Indoor & outdoor builds — sealed, weather-resistant options for exteriors
- Pre-drilled mounting — standoffs or hanging wires included
Make the sign unmistakably yours
Any text or logo
Choose from popular script and block fonts, upload your logo, or send handwriting — we form the tubing to match your artwork line for line.
Tube colors
Pick a single color, mix colors across words and elements, or go with color-changing RGB tubing controlled from a remote.
Dimmer & remote
Add an inline dimmer or wireless remote to set brightness for daytime punch or late-night ambiance — and to switch effects on RGB builds.
Backboard shape
Clear rectangle, colored panel, or a cut-to-shape board trimmed to the outline of your letters for a clean, floating look on the wall.
Mounting style
Wall standoffs, hanging wires for windows and ceilings, or freestanding bases for tables and event installs — hardware ships with every sign.
Indoor or outdoor
Standard indoor builds, or sealed outdoor-rated tubing and weather-resistant power supplies for patios, entrances, and storefront exteriors.
Neon sign colors and the mood they set
Color changes how a sign feels as much as what it says. Warm white reads elegant and timeless; hot pink is playful and photogenic; ice blue feels modern and clean. Here are the most-requested tube colors and where they work best:

How to choose the right custom neon sign
The best sign comes down to where it will hang and how far away it needs to read. Use this quick guide to match the space to the right size, backboard, and build.
| Where it will hang | Recommended size | Backboard | Build |
|---|---|---|---|
| Desk, shelf, or bedside | Mini (~12") | Clear, freestanding base | Indoor |
| Home wall, man cave, office | Small–Medium (18"–24") | Clear or cut-to-shape | Indoor, dimmer recommended |
| Wedding or event backdrop | Medium–Large (24"–36") | Clear with hanging wires | Indoor, portable power |
| Bar or restaurant interior | Large (36") | Cut-to-shape or colored | Indoor, dimmer + remote |
| Storefront or exterior wall | XL (48"+) | Cut-to-shape, standoffs | Outdoor-rated, sealed |

One sign, many rooms
How custom neon sign pricing works
Every sign is priced individually because every sign is different. Your quote depends on four things: overall size, total length of tubing your design requires, number of colors, and build options like cut-to-shape backboards, RGB tubing, or outdoor rating. Simple single-color text in a standard size costs the least; large multi-color logos with shaped boards sit at the top of the range.
