Graphic Thought Facility:
http://www.graphicthoughtfacilit…They did their neon sign stuff way back int he early 90's for a chain of Japanese restaraunts. Nice stuff. I recently made enquiries about having a neon sign made. A record label wanted to get one of my logos made into a neon sign for their artist as a sort of shmoozy gift. I aksed how much in case I wanted one for the studio too. The cost, for a very simply outline of the words ALI LOVE was nearly £1000.00+Vat. I was very surprised by this at first but then thought about the man hours and the hand-skill involved and its reasonable.
There is now a fleixble neon tube on the market. It looks just like glass neon and it functions very similarly with reactive gases in coloured tubing, but its a soft rubbery tube so you can mold it yourself by hand and re-use it over and over.
Don't know of any UK carriers yet though, just a few in the US.
