Did You Make A COLDPLAY Sign? - Page 7

^ that one is the beginning of an era

jbarry5503 · 27-03-2009, 03:28 AM

In April 2006, I wanted to somehow say thank you to the band on their last night of the US leg of their X&Y Tour. With the help of fellow Coldplaying.com friends, we canvased the Philadelphia arena and passed out over 12,000 "USA LOVES COLDPLAY" signs. It was amazing after weeks of organizing and planning, to look out around the arena during the encore and see a sea of signs. At the end of the night, Chris said a special thank you for the "brilliant signs" and creatively ripped one apart, passed it out to the rest of the band reordering the words to say "Coldplay Loves USA". It was an amazing experience which I hoped made the guys feel appreciated. I will forever by thankful to my fellow coldplaying.com friends for all of their help.

During the Viva tour, to honor my little girl, I have taken my daughters little red mini along to all of the shows. I had promised her back in 2006, that I would take her to see the boys the next time they toured but unfortunately she passed away far too young and before ever getting to see Coldplay live. The first song that she ever sang along with in her life was "Fix You" More photos of her car are at www.ryansminiadventure.com

Never made a sign before, but I want to make at least one sign before my concerts start

Probably gonna make a "Happy Birthday" sign for Jonny at the concert on september the 10th

I'm thinking about making a sign with "Coldplay are Ongelofelijk" (Ongelofelijk = unbelievable) Chris kept saying ongelofelijk in Antwerp the whole concert, so I think it's a nice idea ^_^

I have really close tickets for my show in July, so I'm going to try and make some sort of sign.
Ideas?! The only two I've thought of are pretty stupid:

"Will is my Champion"

and

"A Warning Sign

that you better play Warning Sign, or else!)"

Corkus · 03-05-2009, 01:02 AM

So I've spontaneously decided I'm making a sign. In other words, I was in an arts & crafts store when I suddenly thought, "You know, one of these thick foam boards would make a great concert sign!"

It's gonna be pretty simple, with mainly the VIVA logo and some butterfly designs, but I've sketched it out and it's pretty nice. Will post a pic when finished.

"Where there's a Will, there's a way...to my heart"

Kidding. Too long and way too cheesy.

Dfit00 · 03-05-2009, 02:42 AM

I hope they play Moses in the upcoming shows, including the first one!

CRYSTAL · 03-05-2009, 03:10 AM

Well still i can't forget that amazing experience that Chris said "thanks for all these incredible signs,they all look incredible to me".

If Christa didn't asked me to create signs for the signs job,and also i felt some how the signs are in a little amount but at last Christa took all of them with her in print and gave them all to the front rows people and they held them and Chris liked my signs.

I am happy.

And also Philadelphia signs on Nov 1 last year Chris saw the signs in the front rows.

I saw that in a video of a person who was at that show in front rows.

Corkus · 03-05-2009, 06:57 AM

BAM. Done.
Simple but took a while. Totally handmade and had to measure each letter in 'VIVA' so they were the same size. I just need to figure out what to do with this sucker for 77 days...

strawberryfields · 03-05-2009, 07:48 AM

^That's awesome!

Fantastic idea/job. It's really lovely

Carlaatje · 03-05-2009, 10:20 AM

^^ very cool! well done
