I had a couple of requests on how I built the name sign that I posted in the "Designer Bug" thread. For the one shown in the example I use Aspire to build the pattern. However, it can be done entirely in Designer 3 using the 3D and 2D addons. Here is an example. This one took me only about 30 minutes but I have built dozens of this type of signs so I've had a lot of practice.
EDIT: I included the base. Use a test cut in some scrap wood to adjust the size of the slot to fit. I also sanded a bevel the bottom of the sign so it would lean back a little. You could use small screws from the bottom to mount it but I just used glue and rubber bands for clamps. It would probably be easier to delete the profile around the perimeter of the base and use a router table or hand held router. Of course you will have to adjust the sizes of the name sign and the base for different length names.
