'making unique version' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'of spiral neon sign omitting one name' is the wordplay.
'of' is an anagram indicator (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'omitting' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'one name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'spiral'+'neon'+'sign'='spiralneonsign'
'spiralneonsign' with 'n' removed is 'spiraleonsign'.
'spiraleonsign' is an anagram of 'PERSONALISING'.
