"Crybaby" neon sign - Kate Widdows

Crybaby neon sign design

Emily and Daniel at Teardrop Lounge, a well-established craft cocktail bar in Portland, asked me to design a neon sign for the interior of their new, annex, called Crybaby. In celebration of Teardrop's 15th anniversary, they took over the room next door, adjoining the Teardrop bar, and plan to use Crybaby as a private event space. For the design they wanted a retro-inspired single-stroke script, very readable and clean. This is a wall-mounted piece in Royal Blue, which is a deep blue-colored glass type of neon tube, with argon gas and mercury added for added brightness. Bending by Peter Thanh Cao at Artico Lite.
