We used a coloring page from the internet and about 9 hours of pixel-by-pixel cleaning up.

The back story on the back of the trailer:

Our Bomb Squad name is derived from the fact that our school mascot is "Bombers." Over the years, more interesting fighter planes have replaced actual bombers as symbols. When our team was formed in 1996, one of the mentors suggested "kicking the tires and lighting the fires" as the team motto. The less prosaic, but pithy "ignite and excite" was chosen instead. The phrase "kicking the tires and lighting the fires" is a colloquialism used by fighter pilots to describe the pre-flight check of their aircraft and ignition of the after-burners. I think it is very cool and since I was not around to vote on the team motto in 1996, I have resurrected the phrase and used it "unofficially."

Though I did not check with an attorney or any law enforcement personel, I believe that the signage will only grab attention in a good way. The First Amendment is a wonderful thing...

Hopefully you can view the thing in person at IRI!
