2021 Signage Trends

We’re seeing some signage trends becoming more popular with clients across multiple industries, including large 3D LED signs, Flex-tube neon, chrome and mirrored effects, minimalist typography, faux natural textures and innovations in illuminated signage.

Below are just some of the latest and most popular trends for 2021 and beyond.

Contact us to discuss how we can incorporate these ideas into your designs.



  1. Large 3D LED Exterior Signs

3D LED illuminated signs create 24/7 brand awareness and are effective outdoor advertising for your business, especially in high traffic areas.

Sleek, modern and professional, illuminated 3D letters are now the standard requirement for many upmarket shopping centres and precincts, including new developments. Many of our clients are wanting large exterior and interior LED signs to highlight their logos and business name, and to make it easier to find them.

3D LED signs can be fabricated with illumination from the front, side or back, depending on your preferences - our team can advise the best options for your surfaces and designs.

3D LED letter signs are customisable to suit a range of budgets and business sizes.

2. Neon

Nothing glows like Neon!

The latest in LED technology is an incredibly flexible plastic tubing known as LED Neon Flex Tube, which can be formed into any shape imaginable. Unlike conventional glass neon, flex tube will never shatter, leak or lose vibrancy, and costs a fraction of traditional neon to run! Perfect for both exterior and interior signage.

Create complex and colourful text shapes and graphics, or use to highlight building features.

3. Chrome & Mirrored Effect

The latest finishes and materials can create a glamorous impact without the cost. Create lightweight mirrored effect, metallic and chrome signage for your interior, exterior and vehicle signs.

3D Acrylic signs look fantastic in mirror gold, rose gold or silver on retail shopfronts, office walls and reception desks. Add some halo illumination for a sleek and modern finish!
We can also create a chrome effect on 3D acrylic letters and lightboxes, at a fraction of the cost of real materials.

4. Minimalist Typography

Minimal elements can equal maximum impact! Many clients are opting for simple and effective designs to showcase a clear brand message, especially in the retail and health & beauty sectors.

Some brands are choosing simple Typography (the art of arranging type), including sans serif fonts, larger than average letter spacing, and simple graphics and colours on 3D acrylic and Illuminated lettering.

This modern, minimalist approach can make your signs look sleek and professional, while allowing customers to easily understand your brand messaging.

Want to bring the outside in?

Ask us about using natural textures for your next signage project. We can create laser cut wooden signs or mount 3D acrylics and illuminated signs onto wooden panels, textures or artificial plant walls. Plant walls are growing in popularity, with many retailers using mounted illuminated or neon signs to showcase their logos, brand messaging and quotes.
