You could use any element that emits light when excited. That includes hydrogen, Helium, any Noble Gas, and I think the Halogens.

What element of the periodic table makes glowing signs?

The element from the periodic table of elements the glows in electricity, is Argon (Ar).It also can be boron (B), because when you mix boron with hydrogen flames it glows a bright green.I also think it might be Krypton (Kr) because it is an inert element which produces a whitish glow in lights.So, it might be Krypton (Kr), Argon (Ar), or Boron (B).Any gas or the vapor of any solid or liquid element will glow due to ionization/relaxation if placed in an electric current at a high enough voltage. The lines of the spectrum of this glow uniquely identify the element. Not all glow with visible light however (e.g. mercury vapor glows in the ultraviolet). Also beta radiation (electrons) will cause any gas or vapor it passes through to glow blue or violet from cherenkov radiation, depending on the energy of the beta radiation.
