Neon signs are everywhere in UAE cafes, salons, gyms and shops, because they look great in photos and give a space personality. Today most custom neon signs are made with flexible LED neon, which is lighter and safer than old glass tubes. Here is how to choose the right one.

Types of neon signs

Custom neon sign: your own words in the font and colour you choose. Ideal for slogans and names.
Artwork neon sign: made from your logo or a drawing.
Acrylic neon sign: neon on a clear or coloured acrylic backboard.
Faux neon sign: the neon look without the light, for daytime spaces.

How to choose the size

Measure the wall and think about where people will stand. As a guide:

A short word or name above a counter: around 50 to 80 cm wide.
A slogan for a photo wall: around 100 to 150 cm wide.
A logo behind reception: match the width to roughly a third of the wall.

The fewer the words, the bigger and more readable each letter becomes for the same size.

Colours that work

Warm white and pink are the most popular for cafes and salons.
Blue and ice blue suit tech, gyms and clinics.
Match your brand colour for logo signs.

What affects the price

Overall size of the sign.
Number of letters or the detail in your logo.
