While not on the road for weeks on end, I put together this little flash application …
*unfortunately, it looks like I cannot embed flash directly into a WordPress blog (if anyone knows how, drop me a line!) so here is a link to https://www.aaroads.com/shields/generator.php where it lives on its own page.
have fun with it; and let me know if you find any bugs. I’ve only tested it on Firefox on Windows XP. All hand-coded; no $700 authoring package for me!
At this point, you need to do a screen-capture to save your work; one of the things I will add next is a way to save to a file. I’ll also be adding lots more shield layouts, as well as more fonts. Series A, anyone?
coming soon: post-Antelope-Canyon photos from Colorado, and wherever else I may have been.
Works on Opera/Win7. Good deal!
sweet, thanks for testing that out :)
now adding more fonts….
Chromium on WinXP here, A-O-K :o)
no wide 1960 us shields?
otherwise fine job!
they did not introduce the wide black-square shields until 1970… the 1960 spec called for narrow shields for both two and three-digit numbers.
