A digital fan sign is basically any hand made (usually hand written too) sign (from paper sheets, posterboard, whiteboards, etc) with text that was made by a fan of yours (maybe a fan of your website/blog/forum, fan of your band, best friend). Often the person who created the fan sign will pose to a camera to capture a photo of them with the sign they made (converted to a JPG web image). These signs are made with phrases or nicknames that prove the sign was made for someone in particular so they cannot be used on any site. These passed on signs then get displayed online like trophies on various websites, the more collectors have, the more they feel that people admire them. What is a "sign generator"? A sign generator (AKA image generators) is similar to the tools we have here (except here we have people holding signs only), customizable graphics where you take a photo of a sign (can be restaurant/business signs, roadside signs, school signs, government signs, safety signs, etc) and change the text to make it personalized. The biggest difference is a sign generator can be any type of sign from large fancy church signs to signs panhandlers are holding. Go to www.SignGenerator.org to see many examples of sign generators.

Some Fansign History: Fan signs date back to Ancient Roman times! It appears that fans wanted their favorite gladiators to hear what they were thinking. In a crowd of 30,000 that is quite tough to get across what you are trying to say. So a man by the name of Captineous Yar and his pals Kirkeous and Polish decided it would be a good idea to get some paper and write what they wanted to say. This continued for centuries until the Roman Empire fell. People realized that these signs could be used for other uses rather then just at sporting events. On the ancient battlefields when armies were standing across from one another, they would have signs in order to talk "smack" about each other. We salute the men and women who invented fansigns seen at sporting events. It's a great way to express your feelings. Whether they be happy, angry or sad feelings, let the world know how you feel. So go ahead, grab that piece of oak tag, your sharpie and start writing, you modern day Shakespeare!

He is famous for bringing multiple signs to the game for every possible situation (can be annoying for the person/people behind him though). What is a Fansign?

That's a real authentic fansign! A FAN SIGN is usually in the form of a photography wherein the fan or fanatic (LOL) holds a paper with his or her idol's name. WE HAVE SEEN FAN SIGNS EVEN APPEAR AT PROTESTS AND RALLIES, they just join in the crowd with a sign that has nothing to do with the political issues at hand. Heck, even I have made a silly sign (advertising/promoting my website of course) and joinded a live protest and marched down the street. I even once joined the 4th of July parade with my own made slogan fan sign (fan of my own website again), no one said anything weird and I even saw my photo in the tiny local newspaper holding my fan sign (free advertising BIG TIME).

You will need some good paper, writing material such as markers or highlighters, and a little creativity. Fansigns usually are boring and written in pencil or pen (even pernament magic markers in various colors) and most of the time the writing is not even able to be seen in the picture. The best signs are usually written with a better writing utensil like a marker, highlighter, or even sharpies (stencils can come in handy too). IDEAS: Girls, have you been swooning over that hot young guy playing for your favorite team? If you want to get his attention then you're going to have to get creative! None of those, “Marry Me!” signs. Hockey players see them all the time. You need to come up with something original, get their attention! Guys, The Refs (referee) are always fun to pick on after fouls or missed calls. They're an easy target if your team is losing and are the inspiration for many great chants from “I'm blind! I'm deaf! I wanna be a ref!” to “Get off your knees ref, you're blowing the game!”. Once you have your sign ready, pose for a shot on your webcam or have a friend shoot a digital photograph of you. Be aware that many sport stadiums, fields, rinks (other public places teams or bands play) have rules and etiquette for proper fansign creation and exhibition. Please check their regulations. Try to stay away from religion and politics as you may just start a fight or even a riot! Signs may not be made with metal or wood.

FAN ART or fanart is artwork that is based on a character, costume, item, or story that was created by someone other than the artist. Fansigns are sometimes fanart if some creativity (artists talents, scrapbook art signs) goes into making the fansign. TYPES OF FANSIGNS: People write with a marker on their stomach, back, legs, feet, hands, breasts (boob signs are popular on adult sites like BoobSigns.com), bum cheeks, arms and other body parts to use as a cheap and easy fan sign. I have seen cardboard pieces used for fan signs. Blank paper with hand written text. Whiteboards (eraseable markers) and chalkboards where the text can be erased. Text cut in to beach sand or mounded up rocks to make letters. Cut out cartoon balloon speech shapes used as fan signs are my favorite. Lipstick or cream (toothpaste) writting on a bathroom mirror. Some people get extra fancy and add some fan art to their signs. The most imaginitive fansign I ever saw was a person eating a bowl of Alphabet cereal with the message made from bits of the cereal. I have even seen fan signs written on the dirt on the side of a vehicles door. To make the fan sign legit and ready for trade, the maker should pose in the photo that is taken of the finished fansigns (this proves it's authenticy).
