I am in the process of e-mailing a guy in Texas that designs custom signs. He does realy shiny work and he does custom designs.

Any way I thought it would be some help to my cause if I could share with him a few quotes from fellow Browncoats. I'm not promising anything right now, I just want to see if there is any interest and see what kind of deal we can strike up with him.

So please throw some ideas my way and we'll see what happens.

In the interest of keeping use of the b word to a minimum: a thought I had earlier.

It would be great to have street-style signs that read No and Where.

I read your post 6x, and I still can't figure out which b word you mean. I'm a little too hung over I think.

How about "Firefly class starship parking only"?

Or something written in chinese characters with the universal red circle with a line through it prohibiting whatever picture you wanted to put in there?

Alliance crossing?

The only b word I can figure is either Browncoat. Which would be shiny on a sign. or *bump*

Which I think I just did.

Not a bumpin as a low down dirty self-bumper.

I'm liking the responses so far. Have any of ya'll checked out the link? As you can see The guy does good work and covers the verse of topics. I bought some kayak signs for my parents back at Christmas. I'm sure enough talk at this spot could keep the busines flowing for him. We might have to start with one basic design. See how the response is and maybe add some others later. Shiny.

How about a sign for a bedroom door:
"I'll be in my bunk"
or
What happened in there ?... were there monkeys?"

Or my fav. River / Mal quote:
River: Purple elephants are flying.
Mal:Good. Thanks for the update.

There is my ideas. There is also a quote from Mal but i am not sure the exact wording something to the feel of
"I just love the sound of little combat boots (pause)SHUT UP!!"

Hope these help.

How about a yellow streetsign simply saying "Purple elephants are flying."

The randomness is fun.

Hey...

If this guy does custom signs... why not just a sillouette pic of Serenity on a yellow sign? Will he take custom artwork? And what kind of files?

Here's one for just text... "No Crazy Ivans" with a U-Turn Arrow beneath...

Or simply... "Keep Flying" with that same Serenity sillouette beneath

Just some thoughts...

"I'll be in my bunk..."

the exact quote would be (according to the thransscripts on http://firefly.shriftweb.org ):

"Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!"

but I also thought I heard "Love the pitter patter..." or even "Have to love..." so that's a good excuse to watch War Stories again.

and a really nice quote it is. so Mal-ish.

Now that I like. Actually, Alot of these are good. If ya follow the link I placed above you'll see some of his designs. It looks like there is some definite interest. Hey maybe we could do like that whole patch design contest? Just thinking out loud. The key is to try to keep something that looks like an official sign, while being plenty Firefly oriented, and not so obscure that nobody else really gets it. It's a boast of our Firefly pride. (that sounded so college football) But you get my idea.

well, from the looks of it, it looks like these are signs that are meant to be put outside.
I have a plastic one that I bought many years ago that reads "Parking for Mexicans only. All others will be towed." in very official-looking writing.
I have it inside my cubicle at work. I bought it at the Flag Store in San Antonio, where they had flags and signs for pretty much every nationality.

Something like that involving Firefly would definitely be nice, though at the moment, I don't think my apartment complex would look too kindly on me putting signs up in their property.

Firefly crossing is what came to mind first (not sure why I didn't mention it) Just "Firefly Crossing" above a sillouette of Serenity.

Standard animal crossing format.

Just find a cool pic or screen capture on the internet, and put some text on it with photoshop.
Then get a color printout of it, at a copy center, and get it laminated, or mounted. If you're so inclined.

I got a picture of River, and added some text (from Alice in Wonderland)...

'But I don’t want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.

'Oh, you can’t help that,' said the Cat. 'We’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.'

'How do you know I’m mad?' said Alice.

'You must be,” said the Cat. 'or you wouldn’t have come here.'"
