      They are signs to me. Thats what makes the most sense. I believe the monograms are the circular signs. Cost depends on multiple variables. You can email me if your interested and ill get you some pricing.

Cop, "its not club its a baton". Bart "what do you do with it?" Cop, "Club people". Just thought it was funny that they weren't supposed to be called "signs". Good work on your part.
