Neon Sign – Design Review Part 2

5 years ago

To complete the neon sign I have already ordered the lighting and rubber tubing, they are coming on amazon prime so should arrive no later than 3/20. As for the electronic wiring and connection I am currently unsure of how/where I will be able to complete that aspect of the project but I am looking into getting my own soldering kit. I am looking into using a single light potentially to make the electronic aspect more simple.

Chris,
I’m sorry for the late comment on your design review presentation, I took notes on my phone but have not been able to post them here until now because of the current circumstances.
Statement of meaning:
I like how you plan to use tube lights. They look very similar to neon lights and will have a nice aesthetic.
I also like the back-lit sigh as a backup plan. Have you thought about combining the two?
Artist as a questioner:
You could write “Rio margs” on your sign

As a neutral question, do you intend to use different colors for different letters within the word or or parts within the symbol you intend to form with the light tubing?

I really like the fact that you are using this type of tubing! initally when I saw this post I was figuring that you’d be using the led strips, but the tubing will give it more of a feeling of actual neon!

I think breaking off from words to simple designs will all you to convey a larger message with less work
