HoC welcomes you to Raccoon City

As part of my Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City festivities I made a sign

Last week I discovered that Capcom was offering a Raccoon City sign as their own pre-order bonus:

Just now, Double_r from the Capcom Store team dropped by to show off this Raccoon City sign. We'd been expecting these here in the office for some time now since they're the pre-order bonus for Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City when you pre-order from the Capcom online store.

Details here or, if you prefer, a non-age gated version is available here.

With the release of Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City only two weeks away I discovered that I wanted a Raccoon City sign of my own. But what to do? I had already pre-ordered my copy from EBGames. I know, but I am weak.

I did not want two copies and I did not want to wait for it to be shipped. I wanted my copy (of the game) day one and that was all there was to talk about.

So after a brief period of thought I decided that I would not let Capcom keep my Raccoon City sign away from me. I would just make one of my own. So I did.

That's it leading off the story by the way. In case you were wondering. And here is a glorious
high resolution PDF version that you can download to print for yourself.

You may want to grab it fast in case one of our three readers reports us to Capcom and their mean lawyers make us take it down.

The HoC version is loosely based on this picture from the Capcom site:

But I took more inspiration from this version from Deviantart:

There is no link for this image. Despite it appearing on my google search the link feeds back to a non-existant page and I can not find it anywhere on Deviantart. Stupid internet. Q-Bert should fix that.

Admittedly the Capcom version is an 18″ x 10″ metal sign and mine is designed for 8.5" x 11" paper but still, it is better than no sign at all.

I printed my copy out on an 8.5" x 11" sheet of photo paper and it turned out looking pretty good. Now I just have to move some of Rolly's fine art out of the way to make space for it.

It is also possible that when I was caught hanging a sign on the door of my gaming room office I was coerced into making an additional version of the sign for someone else's room...
