I've been to Ying's site already, and I see that there are two versions of the translation for "Browncoat"...

I'm in the process of helping put together a Browncoat consuite, and I need a "clean" graphic version (i.e. black kanji on a white background) of one or both translations to give to the person designing our logo, as opposed to the Chinese text display on his site.

If anyone could help me out (ASAP, if you could), please feel free to email me through the site linked below...

Thank you very much in advance.

Don't know if this will help, but this site sells kanji jewelry. Here's the link for the word Browncoat.

I've seen that before, but there a couple of problems with that image, from our perspective:

First off, my untrained eye can't tell where one kanji ends and the other begins. Since we're planning to create a horizontal logo (that looks similar to the Blue Sun logo), knowing this sort of thing is paramount. Plain black-on-white kanji would be easier to customise and modify.

Secondly, Ying's site lists two translations for "Browncoat," and ideally, I'd like plain, separated versions of both--especially since he explains the differences in the translations (along the lines of Blue Sun, again, and Serenity, both of which also have two "official" translations).

I'm just giving this a quick bump, for those who might not have seen it the first time, since I still need help with this...

Thanks again.

What site is this that gives the translations? I've got a Chinese font in photoshop, so I might could make one pretty easily.

I'm referring here to Ying's Firefly-Serenity Chinese Pinyinary:

http://fireflychinese.kevinsullivansite.net/index.html

If you're able to make an image file based on the translations there--especially if your font can go significantly larger than the average screen text size--that would be fantastic, and I'd really be grateful.

I believe both of the "Browncoat" translations I'm referring to are listed in his FAQ...

Ahhhh, one of my favorite sites! Never looked at the FAQ, though. And yes, the font can get very large. Be with you shortly...

*edit* Done! Put spaces between them, so you can tell for sure what lines go with what kanji. If you need them put back close together, I can do that too. Font size here is 90, but I think I can make it bigger if you need that, too.

I never did thank you for these translations...

They're proving extremely useful in designing our logo, although we don't have a final graphic quite yet.

If you're curious to know more about our Browncoat Saloon, you can check it out on LiveJournal:

You can also do the same on MySpace:

Once again, thank you very much!

Resurrecting an old thread:

Okay, you listed

"brown long coat"

and

"brown coat/jacket"

My question is: what would be the symbols for "man/person wearing brown coat", since we use the word "Browncoat" to refer not to the coats but to the people wearing them.
