translate this symbol


NERV

Recommended Posts

It's the kanji for "adult."  The first symbol is upside down on top of the second symbol with a circle drawn around the center.

adult as in porno or adult as in grown up

"Adult", as in "grown up", of course one of the recurring themes in FLCL.

You're going to put a sticker on your car that says "car?"

Are you so eager for a ideographic character? How about something that says something about your car, or your car's personality?

It's like getting a tatoo in Kanji that says "man," or something.

Your poor car will be embarrased. Unless you drive the most generic car in exsistance, in which case I guess it would be pretty appropriate.

Rice Car!!!

(Runs away giggling like a school girl...)

seriously though, any time ANYTHING is pasted onto a car that wasn't on it out of the factory will get pointed at and laughed at as a "Rice Car".... especially hideous in South Cali....

the first symbol is okay, just don't go around explaining it. The "car" ideogram really shouldn't be there unless you have a good reason to.

well my car isnt rice, the paint job is going to be tasteful, no neon, bright, or clashing colors, as for a symbol to put on the car, what would you people recommend? i drive an acura legend so its not a sports just a fancy car

Maybe you should just stick to MUGEN customizations? The Kanji for MUGEN means "infinity" or "without limits". Don't forget, Kanji are just basically CHINESE words adopted by the Japanese. Chinese folks who see a car labeled as 'CAR' are probably going to have a good laff. :-)

How about NO kanji/symbols at all. Let your car speak for itself. A nice car is meant to be looked at, not read.

I like fixed up cars as much as the next guy. Even though I am a muscle car man, I appreciate a nice modded ricer...but never to this day have a seen a car that looked better/cooler/faster because of the symbols displayed on it.

well its not meant to be read, that whys it would be in kanji, most ppl in america cant read it, all im looking for is a decent design to put on my hood, i already have plans for the sides but such a design cant really be applied to the hood so i was just thinking of a large symbol

First two are Souma.

Third one is Akane.

By the way, your browser needs to be able to handle Japanese.

Thank you imode!!

Now to get someone to cut me some vinyl. :D

Vostok 7

My cousin does vinyl on cars, he even has the metallic stuff too, I say If it doesnt add HORSEPOWER, its useless like putting your last name on a license plate. I have a few built up V8's in the garage and Im working on doing an s-10 extreme V8 with about 500hp and a 100hp shot of NOS, you wont find a single sticker on it,,, the paint will be "something else" though. I have the motor, truck, trans (5speed) and rearend, just need more money and time. You want it to go fast, I can help you out. I install turbo's, superchargers and NOS's, if ya really want vinyl, I can give you my cousins number :(

and i say if ur gonna be confined to within a reasonable speed over of the legal speed limit(10-15 over), the horse power is useless, as for the suggestion of making up a design for my hood, ill work on it, see wut i come up with

Obviusly ya never drivin anything over 200hp, trust me, once you've had it, youll want more. Having a lot of power doesnt mean you have to go 150mph everywhere you go. tell that to the guy driving the viper or Z06 corvette.

Seriously though, if you want the vinyl, my cousin can take your design and cut it for you, he has all the professional eqiupment and a storefront. He is pretty cheap for the quality of work and he could probably ship it to your door. Its very easy to put on.

I just dont nessisarily agree with it, doesnt mean I dont apreciate good art ;) , ny brother is the same way as my cousin, He's doing up one of those mazdaspeed protege's and wants me to do the go fast stuff before the graffics

Heh.... one of my favorite things is to see the idiots who install the characters incorrectly... I've seen a number of cars with the kanji on their side rather than straight up. I've also seen incorrect characters....

Most popular one appears to be kousoku, or highspeed....

spelling's a pain
