A neon sign created for Leon Haslam (World Superbike Championship) as a Christmas gift from his wife Olivia Haslam, for their home bar (we wish you all the best with your new baby!):

We have also completed many projects for neon lighting for domestic customers for home bars, bedrooms, and games rooms.

If we have previously supplied you with a neon sign and would like your work to feature on our gallery, please email us a picture of the sign in place, and we will upload to Our Gallery.

We hope you had a wonderful Christmas and wish you a Happy New Year.

This year we are celebrating 100 years since the first commercial neon sign was produced and sold to a Paris barber, and to mark this occasion we have produced a desk calendar.

Neon Creations Desk Calendar 2012

The calendar showcases a number of the projects we have worked on recently, and provides some facts about neon signs and our product range.

If you would like a copy of the calendar, please don’t hesitate to e-mail (info@neoncreations.co.uk) or call us (01204 655866), but hurry, we only have a limited number of copies available!

And if this year’s calendar proves to be a success then we may produce one for 2013 too. Please let us know if you would be interested in your project being included.

Ever wanted to see your name in neon lights?

Well, now you can! We have a small range of neon name lamps available to purchase, which can also make a wonderful and unique Christmas gift, or for a birthday, christening, or other special occasion. Or simply use as a night light in a child’s bedroom.

The blue (boys), or pink (girls) neon name stands on a compact black base which houses a low voltage power supply. The low voltage power supply makes it very safe, even around children.

Simply plug the light into the mains to see your name light up!

Approximate size is 30cm wide x 20cm high (this varies slightly depending on the name).

The names that we have available are: Ben, Chris, Daniel, James, and Joseph, and Katie, Lucy and Megan.

Prices are £24 each (inc VAT) and £12 (inc VAT) for delivery via Royal Mail Special Delivery. If you are interested in purchasing one of these neon name lights, please contact us on 01204 655866, or via email to info@neoncreations.co.uk.

Please note that this particular style cannot be personalised, although we do offer personalised neon names within our custom made service. Prices for this tend to start from around £300 +VAT.

Our neon signs for Reebok shared the stage with Labrinth last week at a “secret” gig hosted by Reebok Classics.

Reebok 'R'

The event, which was held at the Old Vic Tunnels beneath Waterloo station in London, featured several acts, with Labrinth headlining the event which was attended by celebrities, industry representatives and a number of fans.

We were tasked with producing 5 neon signs in total, which were simply the iconic Reebok ‘R’ in white neon. The centre piece of these was a 2m high version, with 2 smaller pieces featuring on the stage, and then another 2 fitted onto the graffitied walls of the Old Vic Tunnels.

This weekend (Saturday 2nd to Monday 4th October) we are pleased to be exhibiting at BPM at the NEC in Birmingham.

BPM is the biggest event in Europe which is dedicated to DJing, electronic music production, and club culture.

We are hoping to entice mobile DJ’s, club DJ’s, club promoters and venue owners with our exciting range of neon products.

As all of our neon signs are custom made, we can manufacture to your required size, specification and design. The signs we produce are easily portable, and are therefore an eye catching addition to a mobile DJ’s lighting set.

We have made some additions to our range of neon for hire, which we will also be showcasing at BPM 2010. Here is a sneak preview below of our Pac Man neon sign, which is great to hire for 80′s themed parties.

If you can come and visit us on Stand D57 this weekend, it would be great to see you.

Yes you can!! We have been busy building up our range of neon signs for hire, and now have signs suitable for theme nights, various birthday ages, and also signs that may be suitable for film and tv productions.

Neon sign for hire

The ‘Girls’ sign below was recently hired for a production that will appear on BBC3 later on this year.

We are now trying to promote our range of neon signs for hire, as not many people realise that they have the option to hire as well as to buy – please spread the word if you know anyone who might be having a party, a wedding, or any other event where they may want to enhance the overall look of the room with a stunning neon sign.

If you take a look at our range and can’t see what you are looking for, please ask us. If its a sign that we feel that we would be able to hire out again in the future then we wouldn’t hesitate in adding to our catalogue.

For a while now we have been experimenting with the use of Ultra Violet (UV) neon light, and we are really pleased with the effects. The images below show the UV neon sign firstly switched off, and then switched on.

This is a completely unrivalled product, as unlike standard UV blacklight which comes in straight tubes, UV neon tubing can be bent into shapes or words.

The UV neon creates really striking effects when used in combination with fluorescent paints, or vinyls. This looks particularly stunning in dark environments such as nightclubs and bars, but can look equally as good as an art piece in the home.

The pieces that we have manufactured are just to give an idea of how the UV neon light can be used, and the end results that can be achieved,  so if you have a particular idea that you would like to explore, then please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

If you are thinking of using neon to enhance a particular room at home, or maybe to have in the office reception area, you could choose to have an image or abstract shape as a custom made neon sign, rather than have some words in neon.

We have worked on a number of such projects, and I’m sure you will agree that the results are equally as striking as neon text.

This neon sign below was a logo for a club night – ‘Lets Go Crazy’ – which we made using red neon. The middle of the image was enhanced by using red vinyl, just to add more depth to the neon sign.

This Pink Flamingo below was made for an events company for use at a corporate Christmas party:

The bespoke neon sign below was part of the corporate logo for Kitcatt Nohr Alexander Shaw, which they had manufactured for display in their reception area:

The neon swallow below was commissioned by an artist for display in a gallery:

We have also previously made some clouds in neon that were displayed on a living room wall (sorry we don’t have any pics!), and don’t discount simple shapes, which when combined together in abstract colours, can look really good.

If you have any idead that you would like to discuss with us, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

One of our most recent projects has been to make the bing logo in neon lights.

We were approached by Touch Worldwide Ltd, a global consultancy, to recreate the bing logo in neon. We manufactured four neon signs, two in white neon, and two in blue neon, for the Microsoft offices in London.

This project was also slightly unusual as the signs could not be fixed onto the walls, or be hung from anywhere, so we sourced some hanging rails so the signs could be fixed onto these.

Microsoft were so pleased with their finished neon signs, that a couple of weeks after they had them, we had another request for a smaller version of the sign, to be supplied to the Microsoft Seattle office.

If you are interested in your company logo being turned into a custom made neon sign, please contact us.
