The resurgence and diversification of neon signs

The heyday for neon signs in the US was from the 1930s to the 1960s. During this period the signage was seen all across the country, attracting customers to all kinds of shops, bars, restaurants, and other attractions. The popularity of the pieces dropped with the introduction of plastic and LEDs but a resurgence has occurred in the last few years. Now the signs can effectively evoke a retro feeling or produce a modern, contemporary look.

Neon is also growing in popularity again in the UK. Surprisingly it is not just businesses that are causing this. The signs are also being used in homes, for stage shows, and to add an extra dimension to exhibitions of all shapes and sizes. People still love the bright, colourful lights, and the pieces have become closer to art than simple promotional materials.
