BRINGING THE BLOCK MAGIC HOME:
FUNFRESCO'S NEON TRANSFORMATION

When The Block Season 20 alumni Ricky and Haydn needed custom signage for their personal Palm Springs-inspired "Funfresco" renovation project, we delivered a vibrant flamingo neon logo that became the hero feature of their outdoor entertaining space, perfectly capturing their signature fun, coastal vibe while standing up to Australian outdoor conditions.

"Kings of Neon turned a crazy idea into the perfect neon logo. Fast, fun, and exactly what we needed — they brought the Funfresco vibes to life."

— Ricky & Haydn (The Block Season 20 Alumni)

KEY REQUIREMENTS

Fresh off The Block Season 20, Ricky and Haydn faced the challenge of transforming their personal "Funfresco" renovation project from a grim alfresco backyard into a Palm Springs-inspired outdoor entertaining dream. The solution needed to create custom signage that screamed fun the second you walked into the space, setting the tone before guests even sat down. With tight timelines as always, they required a neon logo that felt totally unique to them - bold without being tacky, playful yet slick. Most critically, this wasn't going on an indoor wall but in an outdoor BBQ and entertaining space, demanding materials built tough enough to pop day or night while withstanding Australian outdoor conditions.

CREATIVE EXECUTION

We collaborated closely with Ricky and Haydn to bring their vibrant Funfresco vision to life, combining their Block experience with our technical expertise:

Palm Springs Inspiration: We designed flamingos looking at each other in a glowing yellow circle with an ocean blue base, perfectly capturing the summer, good vibes, and mischief they wanted.

Outdoor-Ready Innovation: We engineered the signage specifically for Australian outdoor entertaining spaces, ensuring durability against weather while maintaining premium visual impact day and night.

Block-Speed Delivery: Understanding their timeline pressures from The Block experience, we delivered fast replies, no drama communication, and bang-on-time completion despite tight deadlines.

The collaborative process showcased our ability to translate creative visions into reality, with a few revisions needed to perfect the design, resulting in something better than they ever imagined.

BUSINESS IMPACT

Immediate Results:

Space Hero Feature: The neon sign became the hero of the Funfresco space, instantly setting the vibrant, coastal tone they envisioned.

Social Media Magnet: Featured in half the selfies taken in the area, creating organic social content and brand recognition for their Funfresco project.

Conversation Starter: Everyone comments on the sign, with people actually asking where they can get "the flamingo sign," demonstrating its standout appeal.

Ongoing Benefits:

Brand Identity Creation: The sign has become part of the brand and vibe of Funfresco, establishing instant recognition for their outdoor entertaining concept.

Design Credibility: Reinforces their reputation as The Block alumni who understand how lighting and custom features transform spaces.

Future Project Foundation: Sets the standard for their bigger plans kicking off soon, proving their commitment to premium design details.

Ricky and Haydn's experience with Kings of Neon exemplifies our understanding of high-pressure renovation timelines and creative vision:

"We'd seen their work before and knew they could deliver something special," the duo shared. "But the whole experience was smooth as. Fast replies, no drama, nailed the brief. Would 100% rate it a 10/10 and hit them up again in a heartbeat."

From the first conversation, our team got the vibe they were going for. We whipped up a design that was spot on, with top-notch materials and colours that popped exactly how they imagined. Even with their tight timeline pressures, we delivered bang on time, proving that premium custom signage doesn't have to mean compromising on deadlines.

CONCLUSION STATEMENT

This collaboration demonstrates how strategic illumination transforms personal renovation projects into memorable entertainment destinations. By translating The Block alumni's vision for vibrant, coastal fun into a custom flamingo neon logo, we've helped establish Funfresco as an instantly recognisable brand that captures attention, drives social sharing, and sets the perfect tone for outdoor entertaining – proving that the right signage doesn't just complete a space, it becomes the hero feature that defines the entire experience.
