What Does YOUR DCL magnetic door sign look like? With other great tips for your sign

[Hypermommy]

My kid came up with an idea the other morning that I worked into a graphic. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. This will be on our door on pirate day, of course.

"Honey, I'll be in the office. Don't bother me for the next week or so."

Yeah, what's the name of the typeface for the nametags?

It looks like this:

I did actually look at the name while I was doing the 5,352 name tags last night, but it was some weird name that I don't remember now.

I'll get it for you tonight, but I'll PM it to you cause I don't want everyone knowing. Too much knowledge can be dangerous.

I think I ended up stretching the font and adding a slight shadow to give it that "engraved" feel.

Hypermommy -

What is the font you used on the "Why is the rum gone sign?" More importantly where do you get it!

Thanks...I want to use it with slight modification/addition.

It's called Blue Highway Linocut. I don't remember having gotten this one anywhere so it might have been one of the many that came with WinXP or Word or something like that. I tried to copy it and attach it in here for you but my system doesn't appear to allow me to copy a font (at least that wasn't an option in the popup menu when I right clicked on the font). I tried searching at Simply the Best Fonts but didnt' find it there. Good luck.

BTW.. I'd love to see your mod when you get it done.

Thanks for the name tags Tom!

This is one I will work in to something on pirate day

This is an old scan of a 1941 calendar that I have been working on cleaning up. Now I need to find something cruise related to put on the back wall. I might digitally frame a picture of the cruise ship and add it.

Still a work in progress, but someone else might have ideas.

Here is my door design from a cruise I took in 2005.

It covered the entire door. I also have a "Haunted Mansion" themed door that I made for a cruise I took back in October of 2007.

That is SO cool!!
Could you post the "Haunted Mansion" also?
How did you do them? Any chance they can be redone? I would love to
use one for our door in June 2008, not a cruise but still effective. TIA

 

[dizneyfan23]

Thanks.

I plan on posting the Haunted Mansion one as soon as I find the memory card that has those pictures on it. Hopefully soon.

The way I did it was that I found a picture of everything under the "Dead Men" banner. (the town and pirates, skulls, etc.) in an issue of "The Disney Club News" a little booklet-sized magazine Disney used to do. So, being somewhat artistic, I drew it out to the scale for what I needed. I realized I needed more since I wanted to cover the entire door, so I put on the banner w/ the Parrot and a scroll with the words of "A Pirate's Life For Me."
