    So I am making some 10x14 metal signs, I just think it would be fun. I wanted some input on what the sign could say. I certainly want them to sell and figure who other to ask than a bunch of pinheads! What do you think it should say? Also is this something you would buy or is this a bad idea?

    Other sign ideas are welcome!

    I would choose another font besides Arial, not bold enough IMHO.

    Can certainly change that, just a quick mock up, thanks for the feedback.

    Having a little fun!

    I've got a few of these hanging around my place, bought all that I could at the time and they sold out fast.

    I'd avoid anything involving your genitals. That's a little off-putting.

    We are talking about pinballs, but certainly see your point.

    I was better at this stuff when I was 14, but here you go anyway:

    As someone that works with traffic control devices (signs, signals, etc), this is the closes one I like.

    However, the font choice really bugs me, since it's not a DOT-approved font. Look up the TTF/OTF font BlueHighway. While it's not the OFFICIAL font, it's so close that you can't tell. Try using any one from that group.

    And yes, I could have an actual road-sign made up like this, easily.

    MAN
    CAVE (should sell a few)

    BEAUTY IS IN
    THE EYE OF THE
    BEERHOLDER (may sell)

    These are 2 signs I have on the wall that were gifts.

    This might rile a few people and there is no adverse intent here but:

    Warning:

    Active Shooter

    all in jest and it IS YOUR basement. Personally I wouldn't sell them though.

    I like the direction this is heading. Maybe something like 'ovfdfireman's SHOOTING RANGE - MISSED SHOTS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED' or something like that.

    You sound like a fellow traffic engineer. I manage a sign shop, well someone that works for me does. I was wondering if OP is using FlexiSign or SignCAD.

    Publics Project manager for a railroad - deal with city, county, state gov'ts all the time, dealing with signs and pavement markings and all kinds of crap. Working with the contractors on-site, those guys love handing me old signs that are taken down. ... Not sure why, but now I have enough signs to populate I-70 from Baltimore to Denver.

    Probly none that say, "Pinball Makes Me Horny".

    OP, that one will have not much appeal unless you have a wife or GF that approves of the NSFW thread.
