A neon wordmark gets noticed

Neon then, neon now
The neon tube was invented by Georges Claude in 1909. In 1915 he received the US patent for it. After the First World War and the ban on illuminated advertising installations connected with it, neon boomed. Glowing advertising was widely visible in the 1920s and 1930s, both in America and in European metropolises such as Paris. Even after the world economic crisis, illuminated advertising stood for economic growth. For a long time, neon was indispensable in signage, and there were no alternatives either. The disadvantages, such as the expensive production or the installation, which because of the high voltage may only be carried out by specialists, had to be accepted for lack of alternatives. In the past, the glaring neon shades could only be achieved with fault-prone glass tubes. These tubes were and are laborious to manufacture, therefore expensive, and delicate during installation. That is why neon was no longer trendy for a long time. If the nostalgic neon effect fits your corporate identity today, there are now quite different options than just a few years ago.

Today: neon strips with LED technology
The Flex-Tubes used today can imitate neon colours such as yellow, green, blue or pink really well. Unlike the classic rigid neon tubes, they have the big advantage that they are bendable and can therefore also form unusual shapes. You can, for example, light parts of your lettering or your logo with a neon flex strip.

Neon flex tubes, also called neon flex stripes
Neon-Flex tubes are LED strips that stand out for high flexibility – and therefore high durability – as well as a homogeneous light pattern without visible pixels. Unlike the delicate neon tubes, they are impact-resistant and unbreakable. They can ideally be used outdoors, because they are manufactured with protection class IP67 or IP68. The Neon-Flex strips come in various sizes and lengths and can be used as needed.
