Its a time honored tradition at our university to serve purple pancakes at midnight during homecoming week.  In being reminisent of when I do go eat breakfast late at night, diners came to mind and the shining neon sign that hangs outside their doors. A small detail I added to this, is the brick background, the unversity uses a specific brick for each building and that small detail is a nod to that tradition as well. I also used the official univeristy colors for this project and was shared on the university official social media. 

A fuller, more detailed view of the wiring behind the sign, and the brick thats behind it.
