Of late, there’s been a fascinating resurgence in interest regarding neon wall art; even the swankiest of watering holes are returning to the 1950s decor staple, it’s showing up in typographical exercises the web over, and perhaps the most telling sign that it’s well on its way to homes throughout suburbia: it’s all over Pinterest. And we’re not talking about the bright fluorescent color palette that’s on its way back en vogue from where we left it in the 1980s; we’re talking about actual neon lights that buzz and hum, reminding us of honky tonk bars and Broadway marquees alike. Here, we present a roundup of ten simple, straightforward signs, from a 70-year-old star meant for a cafeteria storefront to custom-made living room wall hangings from the here and now.
