Record shelves and instruments make a music room; the glow is what makes it a shrine. Music is one of our deepest categories — from disco-era television to metal — and these are the pieces music lovers search for most.

The funk and soul shrine

The Soul Train sign is the sleeper hit of the whole music collection — the legendary show's logo, instantly recognized by anyone who grew up with Saturday-morning soul. Above a turntable and a crate of funk records, it does more decorating than any framed poster could.

The indie and rock wall

Weezer and The Strokes cover the alternative corner — band logos whose typography was designed to glow. Metalheads and classic-rock loyalists will find their bands in the music collection, from Metallica to Motörhead.

The player's corner

For the wall behind the guitar hooks, gear logos beat band logos: the Jackson Guitars sign marks the corner where playing happens, not just listening. It is the music-room equivalent of the tool-brand sign in a workshop.

Building the wall

  • One glow per zone: turntable corner, instrument corner, seating wall — give each its own piece rather than clustering.
  • Mind the acoustics aesthetic: a wooden music sign next to the neon softens the wall the way wood panels soften sound.
  • Size to the room: listening rooms are usually small — Big (16×12") is the ceiling for most walls here (size guide).
  • Set a static color that flatters the room's light; save the 19 dynamic modes for parties.

Frequently asked questions

My band isn't in the catalog — options?

The music collection runs deep, but for local bands, your own band, or a logo we don't carry, a custom sign from your artwork is the answer.

Do the signs hum or interfere with audio gear?

LEDs are silent, and at ~3 watts on low-voltage power there is no transformer buzz — that is a glass-neon problem, as we explain in LED vs glass neon.
