    RGB flow glow effect with spatial gradient animation

    Sign Customiser’s Flow RGB effect now produces a beautiful, realistic neon glow that flows across your entire sign. Each word is lit with a smooth colour gradient that shifts naturally based on its position, creating the appearance of real RGB LED tubing cycling through colours in sequence.

    RGB flow glow effect in action

    What’s Changed

    • Multi-layer neon glow - Four glow layers create a rich, realistic neon tube appearance with soft light falloff that closely mimics real RGB LED signage
    • Spatial gradient animation - Colours flow smoothly across words based on their position on the canvas, so multi-word signs display a natural colour wave rather than each word changing independently
    • Optimised for all devices - Frame throttling and reduced glow layers ensure smooth performance on mobile devices and Safari, without sacrificing visual quality
    • White face with coloured glow - The text itself remains crisp white while the surrounding glow cycles through your chosen RGB colours, just like real neon tubing

    No action is needed on your end — this effect applies automatically to any customiser that already uses the Flow RGB colour effect.

    Major upgrade to AI Sign Designer image capabilities

    The AI Sign Designer has received its biggest image processing upgrade yet. Our underlying models have been significantly improved, delivering noticeably better results across virtually every type of image your customers upload.

    Whether it’s a photograph, a hand-drawn sketch, a detailed graphic logo, or a simple wordmark, the AI Sign Designer now interprets and converts images with greater accuracy and fidelity than ever before.

    What’s Changed

    • Better photographic image handling - Photos and real-world images are now interpreted with far greater detail, producing cleaner and more accurate sign-ready conversions
    • Improved logo and graphic interpretation - Complex multi-element logos, icons, and brand graphics are converted more faithfully, preserving fine details and maintaining the integrity of the original design
    • More accurate shape detection - Intricate patterns, overlapping elements, and visually dense designs are now handled with significantly improved precision
    • Broader image type support - From minimalist line art to richly detailed illustrations, the AI Sign Designer now handles a wider range of visual styles with consistently better output
    • Higher quality results overall - Every conversion benefits from the upgraded models, meaning your customers see better previews and you receive more production-ready files

    Pricing Transparency and Custom Sizing Improvements

    Sign Customiser now shows a detailed breakdown of material length and cost for each individual word when using the Advanced Letter (Material Length) pricing model. This gives merchants greater transparency into exactly how pricing is calculated. We’ve also added a visual indicator to help customers understand when they’ve modified their custom size.

    What’s Changed

    • Per-word material breakdown - The price display now shows each word with its material length and individual cost, making it easy to see exactly where the price comes from
    • Accurate scaled pricing - Words that have been resized using drag-to-scale now correctly reflect their scaled dimensions in material length calculations
    • Improved price transparency - Merchants can now see the total material length alongside individual word lengths, providing a clearer understanding of overall pricing calculations
    • Custom size lock indicator - An animated lock icon now appears next to custom sizing options, showing when a size has been manually modified. Clicking the lock resets the size back to defaults

    Custom branded emails for your sign business

    Sign Customiser now lets you brand the order and design submission emails you receive. Upload your logo, set your primary colour, and add your website link so that when you forward these emails to manufacturers, suppliers, or team members, they arrive with your company’s branding rather than Sign Customiser’s.

    What’s Changed

    • Custom logo in emails - Upload your store’s logo and it will appear in the email header, ready for forwarding
    • Brand colour theming - Set a primary colour that automatically applies to email buttons, links, and accents

    • One-click toggle - Enable or disable branded emails at any time from the new Brand section in Team Settings
    • Professional sign-off - Emails close with your business name, with a subtle “Powered by Sign Customiser” in the footer

    Improved Email Threading for Form Submissions

    • Improved CRM compatibility - CRM systems that parse incoming emails can now more easily identify and associate leads with the correct contact record, streamlining your sales workflow
