As a graphic designer I've created my share of fan made projects and I love the continuing creation of materials that have been created by amateurs and professionals alike. I think of it as the Expanding Verse and I recently began making all sorts of graphics and designs for several fan made projects, including a short film out of Salt Lake called Reaverized and a webseries by Mediablender out of the Northwest called Courage. I just thought I'd share some of the designs I've posted at fireflyprops.net and the Replica Prop Forum. Enjoy.
Declaration of Dangerous Goods
This first document is a standard form for the Declaration of Dangerous goods. The form is stamped showing an origin out of the Eavesdown Docks, but I left the signature spaces intentionally blank, so that each one can be signed by you with the intention of making them unique. I went for a bold look, with simple write-in spaces and an obvious warning color scheme. This is based on an actual export form, and I was surprised to see that a form of this kind was so simple in terms of information requirements. It is 8.5" x 14" to match the standard ship's papers size. Enjoy.

New Kong Customs
These are Import/Export tags that I created for my Chinese Cooler project, and I've created six different tags for each. Now the tags have random number sets to show visits through the New Kong Customs House at different times.
The pdfs were created on 8.5" x 11" with crop marks.
Import - http://pics.fireflyprops.net/PACE-NewKongSilver.pdf
Export - http://pics.fireflyprops.net/PACE-NewKongGold.pdf
Keelhauler Transport and Trading Company
Keelhauler Transport and Trading Company might seem like a fly by night business at first glance, especially to the larger companies and the handful of mega-corporations in the Verse, but not so. Not only does Keelhauler thrive with its handful of old transports and seemingly remote offices, but it manages to pick up so much business that falls through the economic cracks of the Core that it excels on several fronts.
First, the Keelhauler fleet is small, so maintenance is small. Rather than maintain a large fleet of ships and shuttles in endless need of repair or replacement, Keelauler piggybacks more than 85% of its transport and trade with other cargo ships, ingoing and outgoing passenger liners and smugglers already bound for destinations favorable to shipping and receiving.
Second, Keelhauler has little to no overhead. Small runs in great quantities means big business with little storage or stock issues.
Also, the name is hard to forget. Even if one could forget such a name (with that special 'I'm sorry...what?' quality) Keelhauler itself would never let you forget it. What Keelhauler lacks in large advertising funds, it more than makes up for in the liberal distribution of cheap print goods.
Ship a box or two for Keelhauler and expect to walk away with a t-shirt or two and a handful of classic postcards (perfect for that handwritten wave from the Rim).
"Dear Ma. Our postman got ate by Reavers, but the youngin's are just fine."

I think the philosophical bits are interesting, especially if that's what Whedon and Minear were hanging the storyline on, but I can read a number of the connections made differently or as just coincidental. No matter which, love hearing this person's interpretations.

Firefly's Serenity Was Designed To Be The Opposite Of A Star Trek Ship
Based on the short-lived but incredibly beloved cult TV series "Firefly," Joss Whedon's 2005 film "Serenity" is saddled with pretty complicated mythology. Set in the 26th century, a distant solar system has been largely terraformed, and those living on the planets closest to the sun live in bliss under an all-powerful organization called the Alliance. A viewer will get no points for guessing that the Alliance isn't entirely good, and that there is a great deal of corruption at play. Also, crime and poverty still exist on some of the solar system's outer worlds, to the point where they look a lot like the Wild West, with characters on horseback and high-tech trains that speed through dusty mesas.

Based on the short-lived but incredibly beloved cult TV series "Firefly," Joss Whedon's 2005 film "Serenity" is saddled with pretty complicated mythology. Set in the 26th century, a distant solar system has been largely terraformed, and those living on the planets closest to the sun live in bliss under an all-powerful organization called the Alliance. A viewer will get no points for guessing that the Alliance isn't entirely good, and that there is a great deal of corruption at play. Also, crime and poverty still exist on some of the solar system's outer worlds, to the point where they look a lot like the Wild West, with characters on horseback and high-tech trains that speed through dusty mesas.
The main characters of "Serenity" are the brown-coated crew members of the title ship, a craft populated by former Rebels and malcontents who have turned to smuggling to survive. Fans of "Firefly" will recall several descriptions of the Serenity as a clunky-but-functional craft that is especially conducive to smuggling, as it has myriad secret compartments built into its structure. It has two outsize jet engines on either side, is small enough to soar around in a planet's atmosphere, and its pilot sits in a beak-like, bird's head-shaped compartment.
The interior of the Serenity is uncomfortable, angular, and metallic spaces lined with wrought iron stairways and catwalks. The mess hall is cramped, and only one person has inhabitable-looking quarters.
Whedon and co-author Abbie Bernstein explained in their 2006 book "Firefly: The Official Companion" that the Serenity was designed to be more utilitarian than comfortable, specifically to evoke an Old West covered wagon. Unlike the ships on "Star Trek," which are slick, bright, technological marvels, the Serenity was essentially a big rig.
The Anti-Enterprise
For Whedon, it was crucial that the Serenity remain small. Production designer Carey Meyer helped come up with the layout of the ship, and Whedon felt that having too many spaces inside of it would be antithetical to the outsider nature of the characters. Indeed, when one thinks of, say, the U.S.S. Enterprise-D from "Star Trek: The Next Generation" -- the model Whedon was clearly and deliberately deviating from -- one doesn't necessarily have a good plan for getting around its many, many hallways and research centers. Over a thousand people live on board that ship. If a Trekkie were to project themselves onto the Enterprise-D, they would have to rely on the ship's computers just to find their way back to their quarters or to one of the ship's many relaxed, recreational areas.
Whedon wanted viewers to see the Serenity, and feel like they could move around its cramped interiors, no maps required.
"The design of the ship is something that I worked on very hard and then Carey Meyer worked on very hard. To me, the design

Firefly: Who Were the Browncoats?
Firefly remains a sore spot for science fiction fans. The beloved space western captured the imagination of many before disappearing suddenly, leaving some of its story untold. Some still bray for the show's return, despite the well-received feature film. The series' lore was rarely the focal point of its drama. The crew of lovable rogues struggling to survive in a lawless land mattered more than the lives they led before the show caught them. However, Mal's time with the Browncoats stayed central.
The space western genre remains enduringly popular. It's a simple concept, broadening the wild frontier of the Old West to the endless frontier of the void beyond our atmosphere. However, most of the best examples are less about exploring outward and more about delving inward. One of its most important tropes is the good-natured protagonist with a violent past. Mal's violent past involves a particular earth-toned garment.
Firefly: The Companions' Guild, Explained
This beloved space western features a fascinating update for the sex work common to the genre.
What did the Browncoats fight for?
The Browncoats were the soldiers who fought for the Independent Planets in the Unification War of 2506. Humanity fled the Earth-that-was after dwindling resources threatened to harm the population. Humans discovered a new star that supported countless safe planets, colonizing the several closest to its new sun. The people who lived on the Core Planets wanted for nothing, but those who settled on Border Planets far from the star struggled to meet their needs. In time, skirmishes turned to battles over resources. The people of the outer worlds saw the ease of life in the Core but fought to secure independence at the cost of convenience. In response to the conflict, the central planets formed the Alliance, which united many worlds under one Parliament. Allied rule was fair and intelligent, but constantly expansionist. They sought to add every planet to their hegemony, prompting the Independent Planets to strike back.
The Browncoats were mostly volunteers who signed up to fight perceived tyranny. They were hopelessly outgunned and outmanned. The brutal lack of resources practically guaranteed an Allied victory, but the early days of the war were less one-sided than expected. Browncoats were named for their signature uniform, a plain brown trenchcoat. They decorated their gear with a red scarf. The Allied forces earned the name "Purple Bellies" because their fancy body armor bore a purple tint. Independents were often untrained, barely armed, and struggling to find food. They augmented their limited arsenals with whatever they could scrounge from home or steal from Purple Bellies. Their strong initial performance came from guerrilla warfare tactics, which benefited massively from the Browncoats' knowledge of their terrain. Early Browncoat aerospace pilots also dominated dogfights with small, maneuverable vessels armed with powerful plasma weaponry. Most Browncoats came from the planets Hera and Shadow, fighting to defend their homes with whatever they had to give. Tracey Smith, who fought alongside Mal and Zoe in the Unification War, summed up his experience like this:
You know, it's funny. We went to the war never lookin' to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

How 'Firefly' Changed Science Fiction Fandom Forever
When Joss Whedon's sci-fi/western mashup Firefly premiered on Fox in 2002, it almost immediately sank to the bottom of the Nielsen ratings. Only 11 of the 14 produced episodes were aired before Fox pulled the plug on the series. But somehow, someway, Firefly has become one of the most beloved television series of the 21st century, spawning comic books, action figures, fan conventions, and a major motion picture adaptation. Rumors of a revival or reunion never seem to go away because fans are just as passionate, if not more so, about the show today as they were back in the early 2000s. We may not get that revival anytime soon, but there are still plenty of other shows like Firefly that you can check out instead. For comparison, Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda, which aired around the same time as Firefly, lasted five seasons and 110 episodes. Fringe lasted five seasons and 100 episodes. SyFy's Warehouse 13 survived for five seasons and 64 episodes. Firefly is a certified cult classic, while its longer-running counterparts are lost to pop culture history. Firefly's legacy is undeniable, and its fingerprints are all over modern science fiction and genre fandom.
