Client: Angelica Ricciardi
Project: Custom Home Bar Neon Sign
Challenges
Creating a Personalised Gift
The client wanted a custom illuminated sign as a special 50th birthday gift for a home bar setup. The goal was to create something meaningful, stylish, and memorable.
Working Within Budget
The client wanted a premium-looking sign while staying within a strict budget, so finding the right balance between design and cost was essential.
Design & Visibility Balance
The sign included multiple design elements including “Bar Fox” and the phrase “Good Times. Great Friends.” The challenge was ensuring all text remained readable within a compact 50cm round format.
Multiple Design Refinements
Throughout the design process, the client explored several options including different colours, font styles, text placement, and background finishes to achieve the perfect final look.
Solutions
Custom Round Neon Sign
We designed a fully customised 50cm round sign specifically for the client’s home bar setup.
LED Neon + UV Print Combination
To achieve the best visual balance, the main “Bar Fox” text and round border were illuminated using LED neon, while the smaller “Good Times. Great Friends.” text was UV printed for a clean and readable finish.
Colour & Layout Optimisation
After multiple revisions, the final design featured dark blue LED neon for the main illuminated elements with white detailing for contrast.
Clear Acrylic Premium Finish
The client initially considered a black base but later selected a clear acrylic background, which created a cleaner and more premium final appearance.
Outcome
The completed custom home bar sign delivered exactly what the client envisioned — a stylish, personalised feature that elevated the space and created a premium atmosphere.
The blue neon glow combined with the clean circular design created a standout visual feature that perfectly complemented the home bar environment. Most importantly, the final sign became a meaningful custom gift that blended personality, design, and functionality.
This project highlights how collaborative design refinement can turn an initial idea into a polished custom sign that feels truly personal.
