Neon Signs: Custom LED Neon Signs, Made to Order in the UK

A neon sign is a sign made from glowing tube light, bent into letters, shapes or a logo and mounted so it can be switched on and enjoyed. Classic neon is glass tubing filled with gas. LED neon, also called LED flex neon, uses a flexible LED strip inside a soft, even-glowing tube that is shaped the same way. Both give you that bright, continuous glow, but LED neon is lighter, safer to handle, cheaper to run and easier to fit.

A custom neon sign is simply one made to your design: your words, your font, your logo, your colours and your size. You may also hear them called personalised neon signs, bespoke neon signs, neon name signs, neon logo signs or custom neon lights. They’re all the same idea.

The finished sign is usually mounted on a clear or coloured backing panel, so it hangs on a wall, sits in a window or stands on a shelf. Many neon wall signs are fixed with a few simple fixings and plug straight into a power supply.

Your name, your business name, a slogan or a favourite phrase, made in a font you choose. These are the most popular custom neon signs, and the quickest to make. They suit shops, salons, bars, weddings and homes.

Best for: business names, slogans, personalised neon name signs, bedroom and living room walls, gifts.

Your brand mark, turned into light. A neon logo sign follows the outline of your logo, so the shapes and symbols are recognisable at a glance. Simple, bold logos work best.

Best for: shop fronts, reception walls, restaurants, showrooms and branded event spaces.

Make your shop stand out in the window or over the counter. A neon sign for a shop is often placed behind the glass, facing the street, so it draws people in without needing a full fascia. Pair it with a main fascia sign for the best result. See our fascia signs and illuminated signs pages.

Best for: shop windows, counters, feature walls, salons, barbers, takeaways and boutiques.

Bar, Café and Restaurant Neon Signs

The mood-setters. A neon sign over the bar, on a feature wall or above the coffee machine gives a café or restaurant atmosphere you can’t get from print alone. Colours can be matched to your brand, or chosen to suit the room.

Best for: a neon sign for a bar, café neon signs, restaurant feature walls, pubs and venues.

Neon Signs for Home and Room

A name above the bed, a quote in the lounge, a glow in the gaming room. Neon signs for home and neon signs for a room are personal and fun, and a great gift.

Best for: bedrooms, living rooms, gaming and home office spaces, nurseries and gifts.

Large Neon Signs

Want more impact? Large neon signs and big neon signs fill a wall, cover a feature panel or work from across a room.

Best for: feature walls, event backdrops, restaurant interiors and big shop fronts.

Small Neon Signs

Not every sign needs to be big. Small neon signs work well on shelves, counters, desks and in tight spaces.

Best for: shelves, counters, desks, small rooms and gifts.

Outdoor Neon Signs

If your sign needs to live outside, tell us. Outdoor neon signs need the right materials, sealing and fixings. For long-term outdoor use, a 3D illuminated sign is often the better choice, and we’ll say so honestly.

We design, make and finish neon signs in-house at our High Wycombe workshop, so there are no middlemen and no mystery about where your sign is.

1. We check your artwork. Before anything is made, we check your wording, logo and layout for size, line thickness and anything that won’t bend cleanly into neon. That’s free on every order.

2. We send you a proof. You see exactly how the sign will look, with the font, size and colour, and nothing is made until you say so.

3. We make it. Your design is shaped, lit and mounted on its backing.

4. We test and check. Every sign is powered up and checked before it leaves the workshop.

5. You collect it or we deliver. Packed carefully and ready at the time we promised.

• Sizes: from small desk and shelf signs to large wall pieces. Tell us the width, or the wall space, and we’ll recommend a size.

• Colours: warm white, cool white, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, pink, purple and more. Choose a colour that suits the room, or match your brand.

• Backings: clear acrylic, black or coloured acrylic, cut-to-shape or rectangular. A clear backing makes the sign look like it’s floating.

• Power: most LED neon signs run from a low-voltage power supply that plugs into a standard socket.

• Fixing: wall-mounted with fixings, hung on chains, or placed on a surface. Tell us your wall type and we’ll advise.

• Design tip: keep your wording short. Fewer, bolder letters read better and cost less than a long line of small text.

Neon signs work best indoors or in a sheltered spot such as behind a shop window. For open, exposed outdoor sites, choose a sign built for the weather. We’ll recommend the right one.

Neon Signs vs Other Illuminated Signs

Not sure which sign is right? Tell us where it’s going and what you want it to do. We’ll point you to the best choice, even if it’s the simpler or cheaper one.

How to Design a Neon SignThat LooksBrilliant

Wondering how to create a neon sign that works? These tips apply to every kind of custom neon sign.

• Keep the wording short. One name or one line beats a paragraph.

• Choose a clear, rounded font. Smooth curves bend and glow better than very thin or tiny, detailed letters.

• Pick a colour with purpose. Warm white feels inviting, pink and purple feel playful, blue feels cool and modern, red and orange feel bold.

• Think about the wall behind it. A dark wall makes the glow pop. A light wall softens it.

• Size it for the room. A bigger sign for a feature wall, a smaller one for a shelf or window.

• Simplify your logo. Bold shapes and fewer fine details give the cleanest neon result.

• Plan the power. Tell us where the socket is, and we’ll advise on cable length and fixing.

Check local rules for outdoor signs. Illuminated signs on a shop front, or on listed buildings or in conservation areas, may need advertisement consent from your local council.

Not sure how to design it? Send us your wording or logo and we’ll help shape it.

Neon Sign Prices: Good Value, Clearly Quoted

People often look for cheap neon signs UK, affordable custom neon signs and neon sign prices, and fair enough: you want a great sign at a sensible price. The honest answer is that price depends on size, wording or logo detail, colour, backing and quantity. A short name on a small sign costs far less than a detailed logo across a wall.

We don’t hide extras. Send us your wording or logo, a rough size and where it’s going, and we’ll give you a clear price with no obligation. If a smaller size or simpler design will do the job, we’ll say so.
