This outdoor sign mockup is one of the simpler ways to present a neon logo or wayfinding signs convincingly.
Good pick for branding studios, architects or anyone putting together a portfolio. Tip: match the brightness of your design to the scene; a very bright graphic in a shaded spot looks pasted in.
Agencies use scenes like this in pitch decks, where a realistic placement often sells the idea more than the artwork alone.
Use it for
- A neon logo
- Wayfinding signs
- An office sign

What’s inside the Outdoor Sign Mockups PSD
The PSD is layered, so you can change:
- Ad artwork, placed through the smart object
- Brightness to match the scene
- Lighting and shadow layers
How to use the Outdoor Sign Mockups

- In the Layers panel, find the layer with the small smart object icon and double-click it.
- Drop your artwork in, fit it to the canvas, save and close. The mockup updates by itself.
- Check the crop so faces and logos stay inside the frame.
- Export a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.
Check your artwork’s aspect ratio against the smart object before you start, or faces and logos get cropped.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
Vectogravic sets the licence, and it can differ from file to file. Many free files allow personal and commercial use, but some are personal-only or ask for credit. Read the terms on the download page before a paid project.
How do I put my artwork on the sign?
Find the smart object layer (it has a small icon on its thumbnail), double-click it, place your design, then save and close that tab.
Which Photoshop version do I need?
A recent Photoshop CC version is best. Older versions can open the file but sometimes have trouble with smart objects and effects.
What ratio should my artwork be?
Open the smart object and check its canvas; design to that ratio. Most outdoor mockups use common print ratios, but it varies from file to file.
