Hey guys, I had a buddy make up some theater signs for me out of 9x12 High Gloss Acrylic, with a few of my favorite logos. They turned out nice! Can't wait to get them up, but here are some quick photos!

EDIT: To save space, I deleted the pics I posted here... you can see all the signs up just a few posts down!

    Is your buddy ready to take orders? There are a lot of junkies here that would dig that stuff, especially the custom work.

    Cheers,

    Just curious, looks like your buddy is already on ebay selling these?

    Looks to be identical to yours with different logos:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170168064897

    Is it a buddy or is it ebay? Either way, signs are cool.

    Edit: they mount with same, nice and easy.

    Post pics when you get them up. I have 2 in my home theater.

    I sent pics of these to a good friend with a vinyl cutter and a source for acrylic, and he did them up for me. The guy on ebay wanted $25 for anything custom, and my friend did three signs for me that were custom logos, a Paradigm sign, a Pio Elite sign, and the Emotiva sign and Family Cinema signs pictured here. He didn't charge me that much!

    I think the standard selection the one guy on ebay has is nice, and those prices are great, but stray from those and it gets quite a bit more expensive.

    I am thrilled with what my friend did for me on these! He has a neat skill that I don't have.

    Wow, what great work! That adds a nice touch to what looks to be an already spectacular HT room. Congrats on the finishing touch there.

    Thanks for the nice comments everybody! I will eventually post pics of the whole thing in the Showcase, but I just still have finishing touches to do!

    The Emotiva setup is VERY nice... and BTW, the DMC-1 processor is for sale in the FM! :p

    I ordered some signs from the ebay link above at $9.95 each with $5.00 shipping (for every 4). He had all of the audio ones plus Polk & Marantz. I asked about doing a Sunfire & Mitsu sign but he hasn't made those before.

    I'll post some pix of my improved room when received!
