Blacklight paint with UV LED strips on the marquee glass hidden by the marquee retainers.

Do that as namco and back lite it like Nep did his Two Headed Beast and you've got yourself a slick marquee at a fraction of the cost and blindingness of neon.

Totally agree. That just seems like a lot of scratch to drop on a marquee. Do it like above and you can get a better looking effect for way less.

+1 Save the neon budget for a Beer sign on the wall or a "flynns Arcade" sign :)

This is exactly what I was thinking, but if you could get it made of some sort of translucent plastic, and backlight it, then maybe using a piece of tinted glass in place of a standard marquee strip.
