"Now Showing" and "Coming Soon" graphics?

[Josh Z]

Does anyone have links to good, printable graphics saying "Now Showing" and "Coming Soon" that I can attach to a display stand in my theater? Don't need to be large. It's just a stand that holds up a DVD case.

I have zero graphic design skills or I would try to make something myself.

This is what I did . I work at a picture framing shop so I simply used Word and printed out "NOW SHOWING" in a fairly large and nice looking font on really glossy photo paper. Then I took the sheet and had them make me a silver mat with an opening for the text.

I then purchased a simple and cheap 8x10 frame from walmart (my company caters to high end art clientele) and replaced the stock mat with mine. The special plexi was made by a local plastics fabricator (Tap plastics should be able to make one of these out easily). Its simply regular 1/8" plexi cut in two pieces and glued to an 8x10 panel.

Victor, what font and size is that?

[victor-eyd]

I think its Broadway or similar and probably around a 20-25pt size. I just guesstimated something that was about 4-4.5" wide or so.

Well, I printed something off in Broadway font and it looks OK, but I'm still hoping for something a little more professional. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

You could look at Dafont.com and see if they have any great fonts for this. Then it would just be a matter of printing it out with good enough quality to look professional.
