Transforming customer designs into vibrant LED neon creations
Customers would submit their logos or design ideas to be transformed into custom LED neon signs.
Using tools like Illustrator, we meticulously redesigned the logos to visualize how they would appear as neon creations. This process not only ensured accurate pricing but also provided a clear and precise representation of the final product. Occasionally, Photoshop was used for additional refinements to bring their vision to life.
