Fantasy tavern sign: Prancing Pig, Drowned Sailor and Gilded Griffin

Tavern signs — "THE PRANCING PIG" lettered in a broad arc across the top, a fat pink pig rearing on its hind legs beneath the words in a crooked gold crown, hand-painted on a weathered carved oak board, routed relief lettering picked out in gold leaf, chipped paint, open grain and old nail heads

The painted board hanging over the inn door before the party ever steps inside. These nine signs cover three invented names — the Prancing Pig, the Drowned Sailor, the Gilded Griffin — each name spelled exactly and lettered onto carved oak, heraldic paint or a cut-iron silhouette. Print and hold up at the table, or set as the session's opening image.

Frequently asked questions

What size does the sign print at?
Each design is laid out at portrait A4 proportions with a clean margin, ready to print as a handout or a small wall print.
Are the names editable?
The name is drawn into the artwork itself, so a different name means a new render — type your own inn name in the direction field.
Can I get a sign for a different kind of building?
Yes — the direction field redraws the same board for another shopfront, such as a bakery sign.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
