    Welcome to my sign and sign font recreation thread! I've decided to create my own after seeing that there haven't really been any active sign recreation request threads.
    As an overenthusiastic sign nerd, I have been studying all types of signs, including rollsign, flipdot, LCD, and LED signs found on both buses and trains, as well as the types of bus signs, and also station signs!
    Consequently, I have also learned to recreate many of these signs and fonts, which I will be sharing and also taking requests for.

    Current Recreations:
    -Luminator Flipdot (no slide transition animation)
    -Luminator Horizon LED
    -Luminator Titan LED (some fonts missing)
    -Hanover Displays LED
    -R42 GOH rollsign interior
    -R44 Pre-GOH flipdot exterior (also known as Luminator)
    -R46 GOH LCD exterior (also known as Luminator)
    -R62A rollsign interior (no route LED)
    -R68 rollsign exterior (optional dirt included)
    -R142 LCD exterior
    -R142A/R188 LED interior
    -R143 LED exterior
    -R143 LED interior
    -R160 LED exterior (for exterior K, P, and T routes, characters may be used from the R179)
    -R179 LED exterior+interior (exterior K, P, and T route characters available)
    -R211 LED exterior (side, both new and old route shape)
    -R211 LED interior
    -MTA Daktronics LED countdown clocks
    -MBTA Daktronics LED countdown clocks
    -Most station signs

    Planned Recreations:
    -Redbird/Brightliner rollsign
    -R40 rollsign
    -R62/A rollsign (exterior, route LED)
    -R68/A rollsign (interior, R68A)
    -R142 LED interior
    -R142A LCD exterior
    -IRT NTT LED exterior (R142, R188)
    -R160 LED interior
    -MTA Telecite LED countdown clocks
    -MTA Solaricorp LED countdown clocks

    If you would like to request any signs or ask for any information about signs, feel free to do so (though I'm not saying I know absolutely everything there is to know about signs). Note that unfortunately, if you are making a sign request, I will be unable to provide you with characters that the MTA does not use (i.e. R160 Y train). You can see which characters I am able and unable to use by looking at my font collection. When making a request, feel free to provide a reference photo if you're requesting a real sign.
    If you plan on using any of these signs, I would appreciate it if you gave credit to me, and please do not steal credit! I've been working very hard to be able to make these signs and I'd like at least your gratitude in return.
    Also, despite all the fonts I'm making, many are actually incomplete. If you have any sign references that could help me complete these fonts, please post them!

    I'll try to check this thread daily!

    Here are some examples of my sign recreations:

    Hello there.

    I am new to the forum. 

    My partner and I will be visiting the NYC area later next month (September 2023). 

    I would appreciate suggestions on good bus routes to ride - both as an enthusiast (me) and general traveller (my partner, Robyn). We are experienced international (from Australia) travellers and ride around on local public transport wherever possible - ideally away from the traditional tourist haunts.

    I found a thread with answers to a similar question but it was about 10 years old.

    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Paul from Melbourne in Australia

    It really Depends on where Your Going! If you want to go crosstown I would say a Select Bus Route, Another tip PLEASE Be safe In the Bronx, Dont go to Staten Island and get ready to wait awhile for some routes
