HossC Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 The current question in 'The Official Dukes of Hazzard Trivia Thread' is from 'Follow That Still', so I thought I'd recreate Boss Hogg's 'War Memorial' sign. It's a strange shape, and shows Boss to be modest to a fault : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HossC Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Nice one Tim. I've had that one nearly finished myself for some time, but was looking for the right picture of Rosco. Did you crop it from a screengrab of the sign?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimSherry01 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Yup took the screen cap and fixed it up!!! Over the summer i had James Best sign it along with my police car.He was like (Now wait a minute I jumped through that sign well not really but how the heck did you do that.) He was cracking me up and he told me I made his day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HossC Posted February 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 No prizes for guessing which episode this one is from . I'll have to assume that the originals were all hand done because there are small variations between the ones used. The poster also uses several different typefaces, none of which seem to match typefaces I have, so I had to do them all from scratch!. There is even a significant difference between letters in the same block. Compare the 'N' in ACTION with the 'N' in DANGER for example. I've tried to reproduce all these details as accurately as possible. The only 'cheat' was the picture of Diane at the top which was tweaked from a screengrab. The following picture was on top of the poster in Boss's office when he thought he'd be acquiring the stunt show. This one is just a screengrab with the background painted out. I thought I'd include it because I'd never noticed the little cartoon Boss: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HossC Posted April 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 It's the 1st of April, so Happy Sadie Hogg Day y'all. Here's my version of a sign from that episode (S04E07). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HossC Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Do you folks have April Fools Day over there?Yes we do, although none of this year's hoaxes stand out. Apparently the story about our banks needing €24bn wasn't a joke . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldhenson Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 These are great, HossC and TimSherry01! Thanks for sharing them.I really like the extra touches like recreating the entire church sign, and that Boss Hogg portrait looks like a ton of work.

RogerDuke Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Nice job Hoss. I haven't been to a demolition derby in years. That sounds like something I might want to do this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HossC Posted August 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 It's been a while since I added to this thread, so here's the sign from the truck in 'Route 7-11'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerDuke Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Stop trying to trick us with your sign Hoss. We know what you're really doing in the back of that truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HossC Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 These signs are from the hijacked trucks in 'Road Pirates'. The globe on the 'Southern Express Co.' sign is deliberately not symmetrical because that's how it appeared in the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Coltrane Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 As always, you got a great eye for details, Hoss. Nice work!Have you ever tried any of the Hogg product logos? There were "Hoggoco" gasoline pumps at Cooter's in at least one episode. Also, Boss came up with oddball products once in awhile, but I can't remember if I saw sample products in any eps.

I'll have to do a larger version for this thread. As for JD's other products, I'll look into doing some of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HossC Posted September 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Here's a couple of signs from near the start of 'Return of the Ridge Raiders' in season 2.These were not such politically correct times. I wonder how long a poster like this would last today. I originally started this one ages ago, but couldn't find fonts that looked anything like these. In the end I did the whole lot from scratch. I wish they hadn't hand-drawn most of the signage on Dukes - it would make my job a lot easier . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Coltrane Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 I can't wait to use these on the HazzardNet homepage in the near future. Excellent job Hoss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
