I am working on the template for my DVD site (changed the idea considerably from when I started) and am styling the layout to resemble a video store. One of the things I want for the store is a neon 'open' sign. Now I have an animated gif for a neon sign, but what I am looking for is one where one of the letters is blinking like it is going out.

I will be looking for one myself, but I figured I would post this just in case anyone knew where I could find one. Grin

Bob, what do you think about modifying one letter by blacking out one letter on certain frames? it could be done either in GIMP, ImageReady and other software which able to edit animated gifs.

That's a good idea. I can give that a try and see how it turns out.

glad that you become interested, in the meantime I've made quick search and found this script which may help to render blinking sign:
http://nostatic.org/gimp/neon/neon-sign.scm
check this out too:

UPDATE:Here is the link to free animated GIF library which seems to have neon signs, they could serve as example of how such effect could be achieved. http://www.feebleminds-gifs.com/
