Babylon 5

[Cmdr.Kerner]

Thanks to 19narvik40 is here is a redrawn version of the certificate. What I couldn't read I replaced with my artistic freedom. The estamated size is 10" wide and 8" tall.

Hi guys,

today I found the time to finish the last label I found from the Babylon 5 universe. Unfortunately I couldn't find the correct fonts this time, so I used my artistic freedom and took similar fonts. BTW: Iacovelli is the last name of the production designer from B5 and the Narn writings doesn't make any sense.

I love your bravari labels !!! Another member on the RPF, starbuc, did a short run of the bottle in the screenshot. If anyone is interested the bottle is a crystal decanter from Luigi Bormioli of Italy and is from the Light and Music collection. It is no longer in production but I have seen many for sale online. It stands 10 1/2 inches (26.67 cms) tall and holds 27 ozs (.7985 liters)

Wow, SO glad I dipped into this forum thread devoted to one of my all time favourite shows-I just scored a bottle from Evilbay!
If anyone can give me any pointers on the best way to download and apply a label [I only have a VERY basic printer], I would be obliged?
Thanks again for this great info and forum.
Be safe all.

Nick, a friend and member here, starbuc, did a short run of the bottles and I checked with him how he mounted his labels. He told me he used printable vinyl with an adhesive backing and that you could find it on evilbay. Hope this helps.

Thanks so much for that-I will look into it.
I just tried to print off a paper copy of one of the Bravari labels [as a jpeg] but I couldn't print it out to the right size without it going all blurry [technical term].
Could anyone tell me if I should be downloading the image another way to get a sharper, more easily re sizable image to use?
The printer I am using is a really quite old Kodak C 315 printer, [stop laughing at the back there], and this paired with my almost complete lack of printing knowledge is clearly an obstacle to my tackling this without more gracious help?
Once again, thanks for this thread-there should really be much more love in general for B5, so posts/threads like this make me SO happy.
Cheers all, and stay safe.

Nick, I think your printer may be too old to pull off the resolution needed for the labels. Do you have an Office Depot or Kinko's near by. You could take the vinyl paper in and use one of their copiers or printers to print out your label file. If you go for that, have them do a test print on paper to be sure you don't waste the vinyl paper.

Hi guys,

I'm working on a new project and have a question: What is the English word for these objects in the red frames. They are quite hard to replicate and I try to find these (or similar ones) in the internet.

Thanks in advance.

Dietrich, I believe the proper term is 'scrollwork'. I found some examples here;
scrollwork clipart - Google Search

Hope this helps.

Hi guys,
with the help of 19narvik40, who pointed me in the right direction, I finished this paper prop from Babylon 5. Sometimes it was very hard to recognize the details, so I used my artistic freedom. The size is 11" x 8 1/2".

Bester would approve.

.... and the next one is finished. This time my source was from the Security Manual.

 

[starbuc]

Here are a few that I have from my files. Some are not the best resolution, but they are pretty cool.

 

[starbuc]

A few more. Sorry about the watermark on some of them. They are from my old files.

 

[Cmdr.Kerner]

Thanks a lot starbuc, much appreciated.

Cmdr.Kerner, do you think it is possible to add President's Clark's scribbles to the Office of the President stationary, make it look like it was found in the show?
