HOW IT'S MADE

Neon Sign Text comes from a single particle emitter. Techniques worth a look: styled text animated letter by letter, keyframed parameters and post filters (bloom).

Every layer emits continuously and the 3 s loop closes seamlessly, so it can run for as long as you need. To change the words, select "Sign" and edit Text; Font and the fill colours restyle it. The colour swatches by the downloads recolour every layer at once.
