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
-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

My extensive collection of MTA bus and subway signs (bus signs are currently not being updated): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1d9cQ8mAmp78AtavgXt4lAu5ey7Uimp2sEKNHuoY0nQU
My realistic recreations of MTA bus signs: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1nFixb_VzJnkXg5qcQvw-0seN4dDOjrTr
Full list of my fonts: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1e4nNlpRJTOTGR7SLSzbmKmvqlEFX2CXbKhJ4B0sxkl0/edit?usp=sharing
Download my fonts on FontStruct: https://fontstruct.com/fontstructors/1466679/bentheminer

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 BenTheMiner, I really love your talented work! I don't know if this message gets sent because I tried to request something and it doesn't show up. 

I would like to request something for my IRL friend, sorry if it's too much.

Could you do a R211 LED interior & Exterior  that says:

"ctraimta_official" "Subscribe"

Kinda like this: (C)  ctraimta_official 

If not then I would also appreciate a R143 interior that also says "ctraimta_official" "Subscribe" also like this (C)  ctraimta_official 

Once again, Really admire your artwork and if you don't have time to do it I understand. Thank you and have a blessed day.

Thank you, I'm flattered! Sure, give me a bit to make the signs.

How are these? Let me know if you'd like different stage timing and if you still want the R143 sign as well.

THIS IS PERFECT!!!

He said he really loves it and appreciates the artwork. I'm guessing he wants the R143 but that's your choice. I'm not trying to make you work hard. Thank you so much!

My bad, y'all. I was mistaken: my interior sign is for an R62A, not R62.

That's not a problem. Could I get the destinations on a single line of text like a 62 sign though?

Also could I get an R211 (R) sign?

(R) via 53 St/6 Av Local

(R) 4 Av Local

(R) Bay Ridge-95 St

Hello, the second J stage doesn't fit on an R211 exterior sign. Remember how it looks like. Could you adjust your request with this in mind?
