UK citizens divided on usefulness of neon signs

February 26, 2020

A quarter of citizens of the U.K. claimed that neon signs would make a bar seem "garish," according to a survey conducted by LED provider NeonPlus.

However, not everyone was so negative about neon signs, as the survey also found:

• 21.6% claimed a neon sign would make a venue seem fun.
• 20% said a neon sign would make a bar seem modern and trendy.
• A fifth said neon would attract a younger crowd.

"While neon was commonly seen in dive bars through the eighties, it has since re-emerged as a must-have accessory for stylish venues," Graeme Hoole, head of product development, NeonPlus, said in the release. "The evolution of this feature provides the option to use neon to complement a retro or contemporary style."
