If we're going to start making deals for my benefit, I'd like to be involved
in the decision. Especially if it is going to require work on my part.

I personally think it depends on the way you make them. I know the 
Bronx Zoo, for example, has some wooden signs with "handwritten" 
words- looks fantastic, almost like you'd go to the jungle and expect 
to see similar signs. If TECH could develop some of those White on Brown
signs and place them at various points (the intersection of Atlantic and
Ferst, State and Ferst, Sixth street approaching form the north and south,
etc.)  I think it would do a lot of good.
