The fading light of Neon
Visible even in daylight, people back in 1923 would stop and stare at the first neon signs in the U.S.A. for hours and they dubbed them "liquid fire." Neon signs were absolutely amazing. These gas-filled, colorful glass tubes bent into various shapes quickly became the lighting signage of choice for multiple businesses. From Times Square in New York City to truck stops across the country displaying the word “Eats”, neon signs were presumed to remain shining forever. In fact, neon’s popularity grew worldwide.
But that was then and this is now
Technically speaking, the greatest cause of neon tube failure is the gradual absorption of neon gas by high voltage ion implantation into the interior glass walls of the tubes which depletes the gas. The actual cause of 80% of neon sign failures is the burnout of the high voltage electrical wires connecting the tubes inside of metal conduits.
In other words, neon signs require a lot of maintenance to be able to continue displaying all of the letters in the name of your business. The whole sign could grow dark as well, meaning customers might actually think you’ve closed, and that’s never a good sign.

Every Step – From Initial Sign Idea to Sign Installation
Got an Idea?
“Business ideas are a dime a dozen” as the saying goes. If only they could cost that much when you need to implement one of them. But, let’s talk about one of those business ideas you haven’t thought about in a while - your business signage. Sometimes you’ll develop your own idea about your business sign as you pull into your parking lot. Sometimes your employees or others plant seeds of inspiration. But, it isn’t until you get a customer explaining how difficult it was to catch your sign in the first place that you realize you need to start putting some real dollars toward a new sign. And that’s when it hits you – you need professional help that’s cost-efficient.
Praise Sign Company understands that new sign ideas aren’t always about creating a whole new design complete with new colors, styles, etc. Often times it’s a retrofit of what you currently have that could make all the difference in the world. Either way, you’ll need to work with a professional who can both start your idea from scratch or improve on your idea and see everything through to completion.
