Title: Who here is good with Photoshop?
Post by: bugo on December 30, 2012, 04:03:37 PM
I'd like for somebody to change this sign to read "Welcome to Arkansas, the natural state, now slow the fuck down."  Many karma points to anybody who could do this.

We decided not to award karma points... :P

It's going to be a slow day at work tomorrow. I'll give it a shot. Shouldn't be too difficult.

Quick and dirty effort:

I used Rawlinson font which isn't a perfect match, but I didn't have time to do a manual copy/paste/cleanup on individual letters in the old font.

Maybe change the "Welcome to" text to be the same font as below to make it match?

That's surprisingly pretty close, though. Maybe a semi-bold version of the font would've been a match, but then you'd have to double-deck it.

Interesting that the W on the original sign is backward.

Insert Arkansas joke.
