I need some guidance on how to print & construct protest/rally signs.

We have some ideas, and some graphics made up. (We're not good at making hand-lettered signs.) But where do you go to get them printed? On what stock? What sizes are standard? How much do they cost? What's the turnaround time?

Here's my idea, scaled for 16x20. (see Full size GIF here):

Also, let's make this thread a repository of your best sign ideas, or the best ones you've seen so far.

Thanks!

And yet another variation of the love poster in B/W for copying to big size. (You have to fill in the heart with magic marker yourself)...

I found this one from Jim Robinson and dropped it into a PDF.

Plus a couple of bonus that I converted...

How about "Who Would Clinton Bomb"?

Kinda makes sense the way the libs worship him...

Thanks Jack,
This should do the trick.
Much better than what I was comming up with.

Thanks again,

And for god's sake, PROOFREAD it before you print it. It probably helps to have someone else doublecheck it, since everyone has a blind spot to their own personal misspellings.

Hear, hear!

OK, now I KNOW I have too much time on my hands...

Saw a good one applied to a rear window with shoe polish:

"Trade the Protesters for POWS!"
