Neon Design

"This book is an amazing treasure for any designers interested in the process of pattern design for neon - along with a lot of era specific designs, the Cold War era in Poland was an amazing creative time in signage and development. A great book and great resource" (Matt Dilling).

"Len's book is great collection of historic American signs, and covers signs from his collection and several other major collectors of neon. An amazing overall documentation of the Mid Century period of American Sign Design, Neon in particular".

"Tom Rinalidi does a great job of recording existing signs in a diminishing landscape of New York - this book chronicles many signs that are quickly disappearing from the city".

Christoph Ribbat follows scientists, writers, artists, and musicians and charts neon's rise and fall. He examines early neon advertisements around the world, Las Vegas during the 1950s and '60s, neon as fine art and the subsequent decline and deterioration of the art form.

Art professors and neon enthusiasts Mark C. Childs and Ellen D. Babcock rescued a collection of neon signs' work drawings from moldy storage and obscurity to create this publication. The book presents a beautiful collection of of historic Route 66-era sign drawings, made by the Zeon Corporation during the 1930-1960s. In addition, the authors discuss the working methods of design and construction and the craft of drafting techniques during this innovative era of American sign making.

Founded in 1996, the Neon Museum is a non-profit organization dedicated to collecting, preserving, studying and exhibiting iconic Las Vegas signs for educational, historic, arts and cultural enrichment. The Neon Museum campus includes the outdoor exhibition space known as the Neon Boneyard, a visitors’ center housed inside the former La Concha Motel lobby and the Neon Boneyard North Gallery which houses additional rescued signs and is available for weddings, special events, photo shoots and educational programs.
