Creating an advertising name plate
I occasionally see some old-fashioned workbikes around here with an advertising nameplate on the bike like this:
I want to make something like this for my business and put it on the Yuba Mundo. I guess I could make something out of poster board and find a shoddy way to fix it to the frame, but does anyone have any suggestions for how to make it look good?

If you're not familiar with it, it's the sort of material that looks like, well, corrugated cardboard, but in plastic. :-) Lay one out and you can cut it with a utility knife to whatever shape you want. It should be more than durable enough to last a couple of seasons of outdoor use on a bike.

I've been thinking about putting an advertisement on my cargo big, a Dummy, but more of something that would go on the back or side of the cargo. There's a lot of bike rental stores in my area and they all put tiny license plates behind the seats. I have one on my bike just because my favorite bike stores treats me special.

You can probably find a dozen local places, not to mention hundreds online, that make "corrugated plastic" ( or CoroPlast ) custom signs, with your own graphics, etc for less than $50.

Ideally, I would like to be able to advertise upcoming group rides and tours with frequently changing, where, when and how much type info, so a sign that I can easily update would be ideal. I was thinking maybe I could sandwich signs between thin transparent plexiglass somehow(screw the plexiglass together) and hang that under the toptube space.
