I think the neon signs are unique, and stand out more distinctly...I find neon signs to be better to look at...and of course, if a place has a neon sign with a letter burned out, it sometimes has hilarious results...(my favorite is the Waffle House with the burnt out W by my house...looks like awful house from the interstate)...there is something you won't see with projections...
That's funny about the Waffle House! That would make a great website, if it doesn't already exist: funny burned out signs. I bet everything about the new projection signs is more practical: brighter, cheaper, more efficient. But looking at a neon sign is more like looking at an oil painting by an old master.
