Those are looking great. Not sure about stickers but I'd definately like to get large, printable images of them all. Thank for taking those on.

WOWw.
These are cool so far guys.
One question, how are you guys doing all of the Chinese text? Hand drawn, or are their Chinese font packs available?

I have some Chinese fonts; your operating system should give you the option of enabling asian text support.
I don't read it or speak it, though, and the only input method I have is going through the character map, so I'm limited to what I can cut & paste.
Had to draw that first decal's text — tried a few guesses in Google's translator & struck out.
I'm glad you guys like em.

Those are looking great, what kind of items were they stuck on in the show? I remember some of the crates and such looked like found items.

I can't speak chinese so well, since I was raised up in germany and was taught with small amount of vocabulary. But I'll ask my dad - he'll be amused, but then we know what the warning sign means - what about that?
EDIT: as far as I can decipher, it's written in simple chinese and the third sticker it's only stating "Toxic" something with "high voltage" and the subrow "caution...bla bla bla" - I'll ask - God I have to refresh my chinese...
Feeling better?

Just messing with Sith. I think the bomb one would look cool on a black t-shirt with Bomb Squad spelled out in Chinese below it.

This one came out nice but was a pain to do with 3 overlays.
Old post, but I've been itching to reply to this topic since I spoke Chinese. Guess now I have the chance.
As you can see, Ball Come really didn't make ANY sense at all. Other stickers at least meant something, though they're not using Chinese right. You can see "drugs" is misused, I'm guessing they were trying to use "toxic".
I guess they used some sort of translation program (which wassn't very accurate) instead of hiring an actual consultant. They did a great job making Firefly series, all the Chinese language and signs were correct, but in the movie Serenity, almost all signs were wrong. I went to the Serenity premiere in Taiwan and there's laughters everytime a Chinese sign shows up.
It's still a great film though. :love
