Making a (fake) Neon Sign for my (very real) YouTube Channel Name Change!

Made with Layers (Thomas Sanladerer)

There's never a good time to change a channel name, so why not now?
I'll be transitioning the channel from the unpronounceable "Thomas Sanladerer" to the easy-to-remember "Made with Layers" name, and to celebrate the start of the journey, we're making an incredibly believable fake neon sign (with lots of trickery to make it look good)!

@@freescape08 He means that Thomas' channel name is so long that, maybe due to his screen size/device hes using youtube from, the name "Thomas Sanladerer: Made with Layers" is showing shorter for him like "Thomas Sanladerer: Mad..." With "...ed" he means like shorten-ed, ...-ed.

@@androiduberalles I reckon after some time the "Thomas Sanladerer:" part will be removed and "Made with Layers" will be the full name, so it will be short enough to fit on small screens after the transition period

@devhammer 9 ай бұрын

I like the brand, and the sign is awesome. I find paint sprayers pretty intimidating, so it's great to see someone use them to good effect, and just try different things to see how they work. Also really appreciate the attitude that it doesn't need to be perfect...a good reminder for those of us who can tend to let the lack of perfection keep us from just getting a project done. Good luck with the new channel brand, and keep up the great work!

Love the new channel name! And the “neon” design is super smart. The painted glow effect will be so much easier to avoid overexposing on camera than an actual bright glow. So many neon signs end up just looking like bright blobs 😁

I've created a few LED neon signs and I faced the same LED spacing issue too. What I ended up doing was cutting the LED strip short, and leaving extra sheathing on both ends. There's very minimal fading at the edges since the sheathing does a great job at diffusion. It gives you more room for error when fitting it to your design.

It's looking great considering the design and limitations of the "fake neon" LED. I think I would have used a backlight instead but the results you got are super satisfying.

@JamesSleeman 9 ай бұрын

In the last couple years (after you made the sign) a new 2-part type of led faux-neon has come out which is easier to work with, the led tape is separate to the strip so you can jusf lay it into your routed out tracks how you want, it can be folded and smooshed around corners and such, then the silicone neon bit just presses in over the top, the silicone has ridges that you can use to key it into the routed trench. Big clive has done a video on it.
