Stop Sign Graphic

Seen in FBDO

This small stop sign is seen several times throughout scenes shot in Ferris's bedroom. One good example is at approximately 01:06:09 in the film, just before Jeanie throws open Ferris's bedroom door to confirm that he is not at home. The image can be seen in Ferris’s bedroom on the left side of the top drawer in his dresser.

Description

This image of a stop sign is a clipping from page 85 in the April 1985 issues of The Face magazine – a British music and culture magazine which began publication in 1980.

Notes

This is the same issue of The Face that includes the image of Bryan Ferry and the Wax Trax! Records advertisement seen on the wall above the jukebox in Ferris’s bedroom.

Finding This Item

Having discovered that this issue of The Face was the source of the Bryan Ferry image I was looking for, I was intrigued to find that there was another curious image in the listing photos for an online sale of this magazine. In a shot of the contents page was a stop sign shape with the word “START” on it. It was more than reasonable to assume the STOP image was in there somewhere, as well.

Eventually getting my hand on a copy of this issue of The Face, I flipped through the magazine and page 85 confirmed that I had officially located the source of the stop sign on Ferris’s dresser!
