FanFair Signatures Unveils Their New Line of Autographed Exclusive STAR TREK Art Prints
OCTOBER 27, 2023 - A new force has emerged on the celebrity autograph scene, promising Star Trek fans an experience that's out of this world. FanFair Signatures, the innovative company known for pairing digital autographs with exclusive art prints, is boldly going where no autograph has gone before, launching with stars from the iconic Star Trek franchise.
FanFair Signatures, founded in 2021, was born in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, a time when pop culture enthusiasts were unable to attend in-person conventions and autograph shows to collect autographs from their beloved stars. To bridge this gap, they have revolutionized the autograph experience with a proprietary app that enables celebrities to live-sign autographs and personalized messages for fans across the galaxy. Star Trek legends such as Jonathan Frakes, George Takei, John de Lancie, Armin Shimerman, and Robert Picardo have joined the ranks of signers, making it a truly cosmic experience.
Owen de Lancie, Founder and CEO of FanFair Signatures (and son of “Q” actor John de Lancie) is quick to assure fans that these are not mere digital imitations. Each autograph is as genuine as a Vulcan's commitment to logic. FanFair partners directly with celebrities to ensure that every signed print is 100% authentic. Moreover, the personal touch is vital to this futuristic endeavor. They create made-to-order prints tailored to each fan's unique preferences, making each piece a unique and personalized work of art. According to de Lancie,
People ask me all the time if these are real, genuine, actual autographs, It’s a fair question, and the answer is yes, absolutely. FanFair prides itself on authenticity. We partner directly with our celebrities to ensure that every signed print is 100% genuine. We also know how important personalization is to fans, and that’s a priority for us. It’s why we’re creating made-to-order prints that are tailored to each fan's unique preferences. It all comes together in the end result, which is a creative and uncommon, personally autographed art piece. It’s thrilling to launch with Star Trek, which has one of the most dedicated and enthusiastic fandoms in pop culture.
What sets FanFair Signatures apart is the seamless connection it creates between fans and celebrities. Using the power of digital technology and its proprietary app, celebrities can sign personalized messages to their fans from anywhere in the galaxy. No two pieces are exactly alike, ensuring a truly unique connection between fans and their favorite celebrities. It's a testament to the enduring love that Star Trek fans have for the franchise.
As someone who personally suffers from extreme social anxiety and is a massive art fan, this is a pretty excellent idea for multiple reasons as I don’t need to visit a con, don’t need to queue at said con, and I get an awesome piece of art which I would personally prefer to a picture with my own face in it.
Launching with Star Trek, a franchise renowned for pioneering modern fandom, is a testament to FanFair Signatures' dedication to providing fans with unparalleled experiences. Star Trek boasts one of the most dedicated and enthusiastic fandoms in pop culture, and this venture promises to bring them even closer to the stars they admire.
It is not there to replace the convention favorite in the meet and greet, but a genuine alternative for both the celebrities and fans. It is great, as now it doesn’t matter about the celebrity’s work schedule and being able to make a specific convention in your area for you to get to and, as mentioned previously, not everyone can make conventions because of work, family commitments, distance, etc.
