Just wanted to show the plates I got in the other day. I put a couple of props with them for picture purpose. I will redo how they are displayed with more props.

It is INCR. Just looking at the various different designs to get a grip on what is going on we noticed the difference. We ended up building this one from the ground up as it was actually easier to start over than correct the issues we saw.
This should be ready and submitted for tooling by weeks end.

Here is a question for you guys. The Orangeish/Red color. Each picture looks different. Typically the Hollywood sign guys would use a standard pallet of colors. I can't seem to figure out what is going on here. In some shots it looks bright orange, in others it looks (number 3) it looks like the standard shade of red used on most prop plates. In these pictures, which do you feel best represents the actual color? This is important as it will determine the final color.

When I was making mine I went with red. The reason being is the logo on the left has the red ring around it and I think the line down the middle and the inCR are painted to match. I was having an issue deciding red or orange as well. Ultimately the logo name is how I decided. The logo used on the left was named jp_logo_black_yellow_red.png. Though I could be wrong and it really could be orange. I've never seen a screen used plate in person.

Red makes more sense to me than orange, because red's in the logo, and in various other signage and paint jobs (like the jeeps).
This is the same issue that we have with the JP hard hat color. Most likely it is actually the orange color that photographs red on camera.
See this thread: http://www.therpf.com/f9/jurassic-park-push-team-hard-hat-question-79122/index2.html
I would still suggest going with red though since the Jeeps were red and tan.

Man, I am so pumped for this JP plate. I hope it's one of an eventual few.

The THX plate is being tooled. The background work was done on Christine, yes, but that wasn't the hard part. As with all prop plates they are handmade and the makers intentionally make them slightly "off" from "real". Particularly with California plates as they are in California where old plates stay in use. We have to replicate the style of the prop plate, which can mean they did not use the period correct, state correct or even a conventional font. Whatever they had to do to make the plate obviously not real at a glance.
That is why our plates stand out, we replicate the style of the prop plates versus the usual approach of using real plate fonts and such that are very different from the ones used by the prop makers. We do clean stuff up. Clean up proportions and bad cuts. Whenever possible we base the design off multiple originals to make a master design that represents what they intended the design to be, but the hand made elements created the slight variations.
Back to the JP plates. I like the idea of red.

Was the "1-Elvis" license plate that was seen in the Georgia Satellites video for "Keep Your Hands to Yourself" ever a REAL plate that was used on one of Elvis's cars? If so-- I'd love to have one of those.
