In addition, the letter will directly define the uses that we can give it, since an “E”, which can be used as a shelf, is not the same as an “O”, which may serve as a mirror, a picture frame, or it’s just better to leave it hanging.
Many hang them without any meaning or relationship to their names. Others strictly choose each letter, for a special reason. Even if you were lucky, you could acquire some interesting neon sign, like the ones used in bars, which are so popular.
Of course, the color that the letter has will be the basis for defining the colors that it will use in the space where it is placed.
