Arcade Neon Signs - Atari, Midway, Williams, Nintendo, etc..
« on: January 08, 2012, 05:49:48 pm »
I've been working with a neon company overseas to do a ton of Arcade
signs/Logos in Neon. Hit up my website for tons pictures of everything and pricing.
They are priced VERY reasonably.

Atari, Exidy, Nintendo, Tron, Pac-man, Midway, Williams, etc.  
Taito, Data East, Bally Pinball coming soon...

http://www.backtothearcade.com/index.php/categories/game-room-neons

I can also do custom metal and neon signs.  

These are really nice neon signs. I've bought 5 myself for my game room.

Thanks,
Mike

Some Examples...

Taito in multiple colors and Data East signs are now available on my website I dont have a
firm date on Bally but I would expect in the next week or so.

Regarding size.. thats about as large as they can go without the cost skyrocketing. Shipping
from overseas is very expensive and included in the price.

I can do custom ones if people want. For example, I am working on a Flynn's style neon
sign right now for someeone. Will be 5.25 feet wide and 14" high.

Thanks,
Mike

These are sweet!-- are custom ones similar in price to non custom? (I'm assuming no).

Typically not.. cost depends on a lot of factors.. size, complexity, etc. basically I cant give a price
until I see what you want.

I'd love to but to get the same effect of 4-5 tubes per letter and the same font it would be big and
not cheap. 

The one I am building for someone is going to be 5.25 feet wide and thats 7 letters. Flynns has 6 letters
so figure about 4 1/2 feet wide by 14" high for Flynn's.

Thanks:-)   the Aladdin's castle sign is an example of a custom sign I can do. I don't sell them as an in stock type item.
The Darth Vader is an in stock type thing.

Must be your products Malice?  From one newbie to another on here, welcome!

I really dig some of your products.  Maybe in the near future I will be inquiring on how much that Aladdin's Castle sign will run me, or perhaps a custom sign of my jobs logo.

Thanks!

My manufacturer is back from vacation and starting to crank them out again. Here are a
couple I just got in the mail today.





The large Tron Neon and star trek are no longer avaliable. To many got broken in
transit due to the size. The manufacturer got tired of replacing them.

Big thumbs up to Crayola on how he treated my bro with his Broken Tron sign.

I can't wait until I get my logo sign. I wanted the Bally too- but I had to make a choice as my eyes are bigger than my finances.  :applaud:

Need a little bit of black paint to touch up that Williams picture you posted. Looks like Williams is spelt with 3 "L"s.

I cant decide between the Tron logo, the recognizer, green atari or sega.  :dunno

Mettallica would be really tough given all the sharp angles in their font. Neon doesnt do sharp.
Unfortunately, I dont think you would be happy with the results.

Did a Gottlieb sign for one of my customers. The outline of the G is actually reder.. for some reason it
came out more orangish on camera.

If you spent that money to buy the rights, you would actively seek to protect them too, no?

I remember once seeing an old Metallica neon sign with the band logo used from the lower right corner of this photo.
