Size Guide

Choose the Right Size for Your Neon Sign

The right size can make all the difference. At Crazy Neon Signs, we create custom neon signs in a wide range of sizes to suit different walls, spaces and applications.

Whether you need a compact sign for a bedroom or a large statement piece for a storefront, restaurant or event, choosing the right dimensions helps your neon look balanced and stand out beautifully.

Understanding Neon Sign Size

Neon sign dimensions are generally measured by the overall width and height of the finished design.

The final size can vary depending on:

  • Number of words
  • Letter style
  • Font size
  • Logo or artwork
  • Design shape
  • Line arrangement
  • Mounting requirements

A longer quote may require more width, while a logo or symbol-based design may have different proportions.

Choosing the Right Size for Your Wall

Before ordering, measure the available area where you plan to install your neon sign.

Consider:

Wall Width – Measure the usable horizontal space.

Wall Height – Consider how much vertical space is available.

Viewing Distance – Larger signs are generally more suitable when viewers will see them from farther away.

Surrounding Décor – Leave enough breathing room around the sign so the design remains visually balanced.

Power & Cable Position – Consider where the power connection will be located.

For Quotes & Longer Text

Text-based neon signs need special consideration. A long quote may require a wider sign or multiple lines to maintain good readability.

For example:

SHORT MESSAGE
Can work well in a compact horizontal design.

LONGER MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE
May look better across two or more lines with a larger overall sign.

Our team can help arrange your wording so the final design maintains a clean and balanced appearance.

For Logos & Custom Artwork

Logo-based neon signs are sized according to the proportions of the artwork. A wide horizontal logo, circular logo and vertical design may each require different dimensions.

For business signage, consider the viewing distance and available wall or storefront space when selecting the final size.
