Design & ordering

Should I use the Online Design Studio or request a quote?

Use the Online Design Studio if your sign consists of text and any icons available in the tool. It offers a wide selection of fonts and customization options, so most text-based designs can be created and ordered directly. You can also select mock-up approval when placing your order if you would like to review the design before production.

For a font not shown in the Online Design Studio, a logo or artwork, or any additional customization, contact our team or request a quote.

Do the price and size update as I design?

Yes. The available dimensions and price update as you change the text, font, colour, size, backboard and other options in the Online Design Studio. Your confirmed design, dimensions and price are shown before you continue, and the price remains the same in the cart and at checkout.

Can I review my design before adding it to the cart?

Yes. Before adding the sign to your cart, you can review the text, font, colours, dimensions and selected options in the Design Proof. You can go back and make changes before continuing.

This on-screen review is separate from mock-up approval. If you would also like to receive a mock-up by email before production, select mock-up approval when placing your order.

Can I share my design before ordering?

Yes. Use the Share button in the Online Design Studio to create a link to your design. You can send it to a colleague, client, friend or anyone else involved in the decision before placing the order.

Can you turn my logo or artwork into an LED neon sign?

Yes. We can produce most logos, lettering and original artwork as an LED neon sign. Vector files such as SVG, AI, EPS or PDF give the best result, but a high-resolution PNG or JPG is also suitable. If you only have a screenshot, send it and our team can assess it.

For very small or detailed elements, we may recommend combining LED neon with UV printing so the finished design stays clear and recognisable.

How is the price of a custom neon sign calculated?

The price depends on the overall size, amount of LED neon, design complexity, indoor or outdoor use, backboard finish and cut, mounting requirements, RGB selection and delivery speed.

The online text designer updates the price as you configure the sign. For a logo, artwork or project order, we provide a clear quotation showing the approved dimensions, included components, applicable taxes, standard delivery and any selected extras before payment.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure the usable wall width or send us a photo of the space with its dimensions. The right size depends on the proportions of the design, the available area and the intended viewing distance. Fine lines or small lettering may require a larger minimum size to remain clear.

Use the Size Guide or send the measurements to our team for a practical recommendation.

Will I see the design before production?

Logo and artwork projects include a free mockup, technical drawing and quote within 24 hours. Once you accept the design and quote, we send an invoice or payment link. Production begins after payment.

For a paid order placed through the online designer or a ready-made design, you can request a mockup by email. Reply within 24 hours to approve it or ask for changes. If we do not hear from you, the design is treated as approved and production begins, as explained in the email.

How does mock-up approval work?

For a paid order placed through the online designer or a ready-made design, select mockup approval if you want to review the design by email before production. Reply within 24 hours to approve it or ask for changes. If we do not receive a reply, the mockup is treated as approved and production begins. The same deadline is stated in the email.

For logo and artwork enquiries, we send a free mockup and quote before payment. Once you accept them, we send an invoice or payment link. Production begins after payment.

Can I change or cancel my order before production?

Contact us as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order. For a paid online order with mockup review, request changes within 24 hours of the mockup email. If we receive no reply, the design is treated as approved and production begins. For logo and artwork enquiries, we send a free mockup and quote before payment. Once you accept them, we send an invoice or payment link. Production begins after payment.

Changes to a personalized sign are no longer possible once production begins. We will confirm any agreed change or cancellation in writing. For non-personalized products and statutory cancellation rights, see our Return & Refund Policy.

Product, colour & power

Which LED colours and backboard options are available?

We offer 13 standard LED colours: Blue, Purple, Green, White, Warm White, Yellow, Gold, Orange, Rose Red, Pink, Peach, Red and Ice Blue. The tubing remains the selected colour when the sign is off, while Warm White appears white when unlit.

Backboards can be cut to shape, letter-shaped or rectangular. Available acrylic finishes include clear, white, black, gold, gold mirror and silver mirror, with custom UV-printed backgrounds available for suitable designs.

What can an RGB sign do?

An RGB sign offers six selectable colours: red, yellow, blue, purple, white and green. Use the remote control to choose a fixed colour or a colour-changing mode. The sign remembers the last setting when it is switched on again.

What comes with my sign?

A standard 12V order includes the sign, a suitable power supply and installation guidance. Single-colour signs use a dimmer and remote when included in the selected setup; RGB signs require an RGB controller and remote. Wall-mounting and hanging kits are generally included. Choose the mounting option that suits your space; contents can vary by configuration.

The hanging kit has one 90 cm chain and two circular snap hooks. The standard cable setup is a 1.5 metre transparent sign cable and a 1.5 metre power-supply cable. You can request a transparent sign cable up to 3 metres before production; longer runs are not recommended. We supply a plug for the delivery country.

Are 5V USB signs kept in stock?

Our standard 5V USB signs come in the designs and sizes shown on the product page. They are usually made to order and are not normally held in ready-to-ship stock, unless the listing states otherwise.

For an eligible, non-personalized 5V USB design, you may request a change-of-mind return within 14 days of delivery, whether it was supplied from stock or made after ordering. Signs made with your own text, logo, artwork or a bespoke design follow the personalized-product conditions in our Return & Refund Policy. Contact us before sending anything back. Rights relating to faulty, damaged or incorrectly supplied goods remain unaffected.

Where are the signs made?

Our signs are made to order with specialist production partners, including production in China. The production route depends on the product and project requirements. The Art Neon Canada is operated by Enseignes The Art Neon Inc. in Québec.

Installation & outdoor use

How can I install the sign?

Most signs can be wall-mounted with the supplied standoffs or hung using the supplied chain and snap hooks. Adhesive strips can be requested for compatible lightweight signs on suitable indoor surfaces. Selected designs can also be prepared with an acrylic stand or acrylic box when agreed before production.

See the installation guide for clear step-by-step instructions.

Is my outdoor sign waterproof?

The outdoor sign body is IP67. If the power supply stays indoors, the included standard power supply can be used. If the power supply will remain outdoors, select the separately priced outdoor-rated power supply.

The single-colour dimmer, RGB controller and remote control are not waterproof. Keep them indoors or inside a suitable weatherproof enclosure. An outdoor-rated power supply does not make the dimmer or RGB controller waterproof.

Can the sign be hardwired?

Yes, but any fixed electrical connection must be assessed and completed by a qualified electrician. Otherwise, the sign connects to a standard socket through the supplied low-voltage power supply.

Production & delivery

How long do production and delivery take?

For delivery in Canada, Standard production and delivery usually take approximately 2–3 weeks in total. Express usually takes 10–12 calendar days in total, subject to availability. These estimates apply to indoor and outdoor signs.

Timing starts after payment and any required design approval. Contact support@theartneon.ca before ordering if you have a fixed event date or a remote delivery address.

What does Express service include?

Express includes priority production and express delivery. The usual total estimate for Canada is 10–12 calendar days for indoor and outdoor signs, subject to availability. Contact us before ordering to confirm a fixed deadline or a remote delivery address.

How long do bulk orders take?

Larger multi-sign and multi-location orders are normally planned at 30–45 days after final design approval and payment. The written quotation confirms the schedule based on the quantity, design variations and delivery locations.

Is standard shipping included in Canada?

Standard shipping is included for orders delivered in Canada. Express service is available at an additional charge. See our Shipping Policy for delivery terms.

When will I receive tracking?

Tracking is sent by email after production is complete and the order is prepared for carrier handover. You can also open the order link in the original confirmation email to see the latest shipping status and tracking details.

Warranty, returns & support

What does the two-year warranty cover?

The two-year commercial warranty begins on the date the order is received. It covers the LED neon sign, the supplied standard or outdoor-rated power supply, dimmer, RGB controller and remote control when used as instructed, including outdoor products. To identify the affected part, we may ask for photos, a short video or a simple connection test before confirming the next step.

Damage caused by incorrect installation, physical damage, unauthorised changes or exposing non-waterproof components to water is not covered. This warranty does not limit any statutory consumer rights.

What should I do about transit damage or missing parts?

Report transit damage as soon as possible, preferably within 72 hours of delivery. Keep the product, outer box and all internal packaging, and do not install the sign until our team has reviewed the case. Send clear photos of the damaged area, packaging and shipping label. We may also ask for a short video.

If a part is missing, send your order number and a photo showing everything received. Your statutory consumer rights are not affected.

Can I return my sign?

Personalized signs are made to your specifications and are not eligible for change-of-mind returns. Eligible 5V USB products may be returned within 14 days of delivery, subject to the conditions in our Return & Refund Policy.

Contact us before returning an item. If a sign is faulty, damaged or incorrectly supplied, our support team will review the issue and the appropriate next step.

Payments & business

Which payment methods can I use?

Choose from the payment methods available at checkout for your order. For a business invoice, send us your company name, billing details and project requirements before payment.

Canadian-store prices are shown in CAD for the Canadian market. Applicable sales taxes are calculated at checkout based on your order and delivery details.

How are discounts handled for two or more signs?

Save 10% on two eligible signs or 20% on three or more when ordering through our website. The discount appears automatically in the cart. Paid customization and add-on charges are calculated separately.

For a bulk or professional quotation, we prepare package pricing based on the designs, sizes, quantities, destinations and schedule.

Can I order several different signs for one project?

Yes. A bulk or professional project can include different logos, wording, colours, sizes and delivery locations. Each sign is produced from the mock-up and technical details approved for that item. Use the bulk project brief to share the quantity, destinations and required date.
