Neon Sign in PowerPoint
Neon Sign in PowerPoint
I saw an eye-catching graphic somewhere on Social media that gave the impression of a neon sign. I wondered whether it could be replicated in PowerPoint.
It turns-out there are only a few things to bear in mind to get this appearance:
1. Firstly, you need a dark background.
2. Secondly, you need a light font. Not as in fluorescent, but as in thin lines. Cochocib is such a font. Another one is Tissa office pro thin. There may be others such as Adabi extra light and others. The point is, when they make fluorescent “Neon” Signs, they use thin tubes. Often in a cursive script – so that there are not too many starters for each individual letter, I think. The real-life examples below shows whats going on:
3. The third thing one sees in neon signs, is a slight reflection of the background of the sign – giving it a bit of a blurry double vision.
4. The fourth thing is obviously the glow, of the fluorescent light. Usually whites, blues, greens, and reds.
5. With this background information the steps are straightforward:
• Get a dark background.
• Write something in a text box in the lightest script that you can find. Use a light font color.
• Give the lettering a Glow by going to Shape format, Text Effects, Glow, and selecting an appropriate color for your Neon Sign.
• An important finishing touch is to make a duplicate of your text box and shift the copy a tiny bit to the right and down, to get the effect of the blurry image. (The glow from the top one will give the bottom one a slightly darker appearance. Just what you want!
• The blinking is achieved with entrance and exit effects.
