Rosebud Cocktail Lounge in Raleigh, a new venture by Patrick Shanahan and Robby Opperman, came to us to create an exterior sign for their space. We used clear glass with red neon tubing, with the faces blocked out, to create a red glowing backlight effect on their white sign.

The result is a neon sign that’s legible in daylight whether turned on or off, and glowing brightly at night to draw attention to their otherwise nondescript entrance.
