Just for fun - Japanese station signage

[catcliffedemon]

I don't have a layout, but I do have a choice of signs for when I eventually start building it!

 

 

Amazing what you can knock up in Illustrator when you have a spare few minutes.

Looks pretty good.

 

The "to" kanji (図) in the second sign doesn't seem to be the same weight as the other characters.

Those are three very different station signs too. ^_^

How do they print out in N scale?

Very, very small

Yeah, not sure quite why it did that. I only have a limited number of fonts on this machine, but if I was doing this to print out I would be able to flatten the text and boost the boldness of that character so it looked more appropriate when placed next to the others.

 

The reason for drawing up several different types of sign is that I can't decide where to base my layout - although somewhere in Aichi appeals most at the moment.
