Custom Jurassic Park Signs
Explanation
Jurassic Park has always been one of my favorite movies.
I absolutely loved the aesthetics of the park. The vehicles, architecture, signage, computer graphics, etc. It was completely believable.

I saw an unboxing video of a velociraptor sign
and thought, “I can totally make that on the laser cutter.”
