Message display system

A message display system comprising:

• blank bumper sticker means including a front display surface having a predetermined area and a predetermined color and a back surface;
• an adhesive layer extending over the entire back surface of the blank bumper sticker means;
• said front display surface of the blank bumper sticker means comprising reference indicia including at least two spaced apart, longitudinally extending lines for parallel message display and at least one arcuate line overlapping the longitudinal lines for arcuate message display;
• first backing sheet means substantially equal in size to the blank bumper sticker means and normally covering the back surface of the blank bumper sticker means and the adhesive layer formed thereon whereby upon removal of the first backing sheet means the blank bumper sticker means may be adhesively mounted on a surface;
• a plurality of alpha/numeric display members each comprising a front display surface having a substantially smaller area and a contrasting color relative to the front display surface of the blank bumper sticker means and a back adhesive surface of a shape substantially identical to that of said front display surface;
• said reference indicia on the front display surface of the back bumper sticker means being substantially smaller in size than the alpha/numeric display members so as to be substantially indistinguishable from the front display surface when observed from a substantial distance;
• and
• second backing sheet means normally extending over the back surfaces of all of the alpha/numeric display members and the adhesive layers formed thereon and thereby normally supporting the alpha/numeric display members whereby upon removal from the second backing sheet means the alpha/numeric display members may be selectively mounted on the front display surface of the blank bumper sticker means to form a desired message;
• the front display surfaces of the alpha/numeric display indicia members being substantially smaller in area than the front display surface of the sheet means so that a substantial number of the alpha/numeric display indicia members may be simultaneously mounted on the front display surface of the sheet means to form the message;
• both the blank bumper sticker means and the alpha/numeric display members comprising flexible, substantially weather-resistant materials.
