    CREATE YOUR CUSTOM NEON SIGN

  • PROJECT OVERVIEW

    This project centres around a custom neon sign installation for Mr Cambray’s Curiosity, a cocktail bar in Cheltenham where visual identity and atmosphere are key to the overall experience.

    Positioned against a neutral interior backdrop, the white LED neon creates strong contrast, ensuring the sign remains clear and legible across changing lighting conditions — from daytime service through to low-lit evening settings.

    The flowing script style softens the look while maintaining a clean, modern edge, allowing the sign to feel both inviting and premium. Its placement within the space ensures it acts as a natural focal point, drawing attention without overwhelming surrounding features.

    Together, these elements create a balanced design that supports branding, enhances ambience and integrates seamlessly into the bar environment. ✨

  • THE BRIEF

    The objective was to create a distinctive neon sign that would reflect the identity of Mr Cambray’s Curiosity while fitting seamlessly within a refined cocktail bar setting.

    The space required a feature that could act as a recognisable branding element without overpowering the surrounding décor. It needed to feel premium, inviting and clearly visible across both daytime service and low-light evening conditions.

    A balance between elegance and impact was key — ensuring the sign would enhance the atmosphere while remaining clean, legible and consistent with the bar’s overall aesthetic.

  • THE DESIGN

    A crisp white LED neon was chosen to deliver strong contrast against the interior backdrop, ensuring clarity and visibility without introducing harsh or overly vibrant tones.

    The flowing script style was selected to soften the visual presence of the sign, creating a more relaxed and welcoming feel that aligns with the cocktail bar environment.

    Careful consideration was given to sizing and placement, allowing the sign to integrate naturally within the space while still standing out as a focal feature. The result is a design that feels both modern and timeless.

  • THE RESULT

    The finished neon sign delivers a clean, high-impact branding feature that enhances both the visual identity and atmosphere of the bar.

    Its soft white glow adds depth to the space, particularly in evening settings, while maintaining clear visibility during brighter conditions. Positioned as a focal point, the sign naturally draws attention and reinforces the bar’s identity without disrupting the surrounding design.

    The result is a refined, well-balanced installation that supports customer experience, encourages engagement and elevates the overall interior. ✨
