Vintage Dairy Queen Sign
I’ve always had a soft spot for old neon signs. There's just something about that warm, nostalgic glow that LEDs haven't quite been able to replicate. That feeling was the main inspiration behind this piece.
Even though I’ve never seen this exact version of the old-school Dairy Queen sign in person, it still brings back memories of family road trips from when I was a kid. That connection made it a fun and meaningful project to work on.
Getting the bends and curves of the glass tubes just right was a rewarding challenge. In the end, renderable splines were the way to go, and a self-illuminating material helped give it that classic neon look. At some point, I’d love to take on a similar project—maybe the iconic Holiday Inn “Great Sign” next time..
