FMoore Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Hi All, I'm new here! I am arranging a Dukes of Hazzard 40th birthday party for my dear hubbie in 5 weeks time. I am getting a big canvas banner made to look like the "Welcome to Hazzard County" sign but I haven't been able to find an actual image of it - can anyone help me? I want it to be as authentic as possible.I have confederate bunting, confederate flags and a big flagpole, a dozen strawbales, moonshine punch etc etc all sorted. We are even going to have our bright orange 1970's VW camper van dressed up as The General Lee's big daddy! I am going as Daisy, my hubbie as Bo, our son as Roscoe and our 3tr old daughter as a young Daisy! Its going to be great fun but I really want to get the sign right. I plan to sell it, the bunting and flags as a package on ebay or here after the party.Any help gratefully recieved!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-Duke15 Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 That sounds like it would be fun. I know I've seen the welcome sign shown in the show a few times but I can't remember what episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HossC Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Welcome to HNet FMoore. Here's the sign that appeared at the start of the 'Reunion' TV movie. I'll keep an eye out for ones that appeared in the regular series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryAnne Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 "Daisy's Song" showed a sign... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HossC Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 You could use this one from 'Cool Hands, Luke & Bo' for the exit: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMoore Posted June 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Thanks guys, these are great. They are pretty plain aren't they? I was kinda hoping for the font they use for the Hazzard in the title screens. I love the exit one tho! Right, off to order now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case you didn't know, the font used in the opening titles is called 'Hobo'. It's freely available if you Google it. I haven't done any of these in the Signs of Hazzard thread, but I can tell you from experience that pretty much all the signs in Dukes were done by hand, so don't waste time looking for an exact font match.

RogerDuke Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I love that one from "Daisy's Song". Those are definitely northern Georgia trees. Besides, who'd want a "Leaving Hazzard County" sign. That's just way too depressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
