Here is the best pic I have of my trailer at the parade and it's blurry.

Mike (KN1GHT) had a friend of his running around with a video camera and hopefully they got some better shots. On the upside the trailer got a very positive reaction so I'm pretty happy :D

MattMaher designed a Live Animal Transport sign for my trailer and I tried setting it up on cafepress to have it put on a license plate but couldn't get their site to cooperate (still not sure why). I ended up going to Build-A-Sign.com and it worked out better for me.

Only problem there was when the plates arrived they had a white stripe across the bottom. Customer service apologized saying that it had to be human error on their end and reprinted the plates and sent me a new set.

This is the design Matt came up with:

After seeing the first set I decided to tweak the image a bit (sorry Matt) and the Build-A-Sign people added a black border around it so it would be easier to line up on the plate. After all of that I received this:

I'm happy with it and have already started thinking of other things to con Matt into designing for me :D
Thanks again Matt!

I got the Stego and a Trike from Amazon. I have 3 Raptors as well but figured I'd give the Stego the spotlight this time.

Dude that looks SO great! It does look better with your tweak. Only thing I can see is that you removed "Jurassic Park" from above Warning .

Plate looks great, glad you were able to get it sorted out. :D 8-) :D

Glad I could help out.

When they added the border the sign got a bit crowded so I removed the "Jurassic Park Notice" and it turned out great!
