How to make custom Neon Signs 2025

Custom neon signs are iconic, attention-grabbing displays that bring a bright and vibrant touch to businesses, events, or even your home. Whether you’re using them to promote your brand, decorate your space, or add a pop of personality, neon signs are an eye-catching and stylish choice.

At Pinlordshop.com, we pride ourselves on ethically manufacturing our neon signs, using eco-friendly processes and partnering with B Corp certified facilities to ensure sustainable and ethical production. Ready to light up your world with a custom neon sign? Here's how easy it is to get started! 😄💡


Step 1: Prepare Your Design 🎨

Your custom neon sign starts with your design. You can either send us:

  • Your logo or artwork file.
  • A detailed sketch if you have a specific vision in mind.

We’ll work closely with you to transform your design into a stunning neon display that matches your aesthetic.

Pro Tip: If you don’t have design skills, don’t worry! We offer free design conversion services to help you bring your idea to life.


Step 2: Choose the Size and Shape 📏

The next step is to decide on the size and shape of your neon sign. Here’s what to consider:

  • Visibility: How far away will people view the sign? Larger signs are ideal for outdoor and high-traffic areas.
  • Space: Make sure the size fits well in the space where you’ll install it.
  • Shape: You can go beyond basic rectangles! Get creative with custom shapes to match your brand or artwork.

Step 3: Pick Your Colors and Fonts 🎨✨

The color of neon lights can significantly impact the mood and aesthetic. Neon signs come in a variety of bright and vibrant colors like pink, blue, green, and more. Additionally, choose a font style that aligns with your brand or personal vibe.

  • Bold, block fonts are great for strong, clear messages.
  • Script fonts add a touch of elegance and personality.

Pro Tip: Consider how your colors and fonts will look in your specific location. Bright neon shades stand out in dark environments, while softer colors can create a relaxed atmosphere.


Step 4: Select Your Mounting Option 🛠️

How will your neon sign be displayed? Here are the main mounting options to consider:

Wall-mounted: Ideal for storefronts, businesses, or home décor.
Hanging: A great option for events or spaces where you want the sign to float above.
Freestanding: Perfect for booths, pop-ups, or areas where portability is important.

We can guide you in selecting the right mounting option for your space!


Step 5: Choose Your Backboard Style 🔲

The backboard is just as important as the neon tubes themselves! It frames the design and impacts the overall look. Here are some popular backboard styles:

Clear Acrylic: Gives a bright and vibrant appearance. The clear background ensures the neon tubes are the star of the show.
Metal: Adds a sleek, modern feel. Great for industrial or contemporary designs.
Wood: Perfect for a rustic or natural vibe. Stain or paint it to match your sign’s theme.
Glass: A premium option that offers a sleek, high-end look. This can be frosted or clear, depending on the look you're going for.

Each backboard style creates a different vibe, so consider what works best for your space and brand personality.


Step 6: Delivery and Installation 🚚🔧

Once your neon sign is ready, we’ll coordinate the delivery and installation with you. We’ll also provide clear installation instructions to ensure your neon sign looks amazing and works safely in its new home.

  • Pro Tip: Make sure the location where your sign will be installed is ready, and consider whether you’ll need special equipment (like a ladder for hanging signs) to help with the installation.
