Poster

A poster is a piece of printed paper used for broadcasting a visual message. It is designed to be displayed on a wall or other vertical surface with adhesive or other means of securing it in place.

Posters are intended to be eyecatching, but also to convey information. They are often used to advertise a product or service, or by political parties and protestors as a form of propaganda. They are usually pasted on walls, but some are placed in designated advertising frames in locations such as metro stations, some of which are backlit.

Ripper!
Ripper! was a pre-War movie directed by Tim Cain, starring Leon Boyarsky and Jason Anderson. Posters are held up in front of the Rippers' hangout and the deathclaw warehouse in Fallout and the Golden Globes Studio in Fallout 2.

The tagline reads, "If I don't get a bonus soon, I'm going to blow up the administration building with extreme prejudice." The character on the poster, presumably the killer, would appear to be a young girl.

Tokyo Decadence
Tokyo Decadence was a pre-War movie. Posters are held up in New Reno in Fallout 2.

Fallout 3
Most of the posters seen in Fallout 3 are advertisements, and are seen pasted onto walls in the game world as decal textures. They are also seen in the projector slide-show menus and loading screens. Most of the posters found in the game world were put up before the Great War and have survived, albeit torn and weathered.

U.S. propaganda
Propaganda issued by the United States meant for recruitment, buying war bonds, and warning about a nuclear attack.

U.S. Army recruitment
This poster shows a soldier in T-45d power armor helping up Uncle Sam in front of a billowing US flag, with the caption; "Lend a hand, for Uncle Sam: Enlist Today!" These posters do not depict the U.S. flag's stars in a circle, contradicting canon.

Courage Today, Victory Tomorrow
This poster shows a US soldier clad in power armor standing triumphantly atop a pile of dead red Chinese soldiers, and planting the US flag. It is accompanied by the caption; "Courage Today, Victory Tomorrow."

War Bonds
"Support our troops! Buy war bonds today!" this poster reads. It shows Lady Liberty pointing at the reader. War bonds were presumably a method the US armed forces used to acquire additional revenue from civilians.

Civil Defense Administration
"Where will YOU be when the holocaust comes?" asks a fireman, pointing at the viewer in an Uncle Sam fashion with one hand, holding a shovel in the other. In the background, there is a post-apocalyptic urban wasteland and a mushroom cloud. This poster was designed and published by the Civil Defense Administration.

Children's "Duck and Cover" education
A less frequently encountered poster, this one was created by the Civil Defense Administration to educate pre-War children about what to do when the nuclear apocalypse came, in a lighter fashion. It shows Bert the Turtle looking surprised by a stereotypical round, black bomb with a lit fuse in the top, exclaiming; "Oh my! DANGER!" He then hides inside his shell as the bomb detonates in a comic book style explosion, therefore protecting him from the blast. It has the caption; "Kids, learn to find shelter."

Stop The Red Menace...
A pre-War propaganda poster depicting the "Red Menace," a devilish looking communist, picking up hard-working Americans and presumably killing them. The poster is intended to enlist recruits for stopping the Red Menace.

There won't really be a nuclear war - right?
This poster from Vault-Tec gives a morbid statement about the chances of a worldwide nuclear war, and that "the Earth may be destined to die, but you don't have to!" by purchasing a place in a vault. Similar to the other Vault-Tec poster, this poster shows a happy family walking over a cutaway drawing of the earth, with a vault below, and Vault Boy giving his famous wink and thumbs up, next to the slogan; "So imagine life in a Vault-Tec vault. Not just a future. A brighter future... underground."

Thank You, Overseer!
This poster is also seen in vaults, to show the vault residents' appreciation for all the overseer has done for them. However, this is not the case when the Lone Wanderer returns to Vault 101 during Trouble on the Homefront. Rather than "Thank You, Overseer!", "Thank" has been crossed out and replaced with "Fuck" instead.

Be Aware Safety Always!
The Vault-Tec Safety Sign is a sign that advocates for safety in Vault-Tec facilities. On a white background, the red lettering on a black diamond reads: "Be Aware Always". A yellow Vault-Tec Symbol is below the word "Always".
