Default "Helmet Required" sign???

I'm trying to help out a local bike club to get a more prominent
sign up to tell folks to wear their helmets. Can anyone point me
to a good online image that can be used? I googled for "helmet"
and "helmet required" or "helmet required sign" but came up
empty.

Nah, more "family-friendly", though that will
definitely make me wear one.

Yeah, lets pin up pictures of any time we got bloody, to promote
head-to-toe armor.

Wouldn't just a small "Wear your helmet" statement do the trick? Why the
need to make a big issue out of it?

Lighten up, it was a joke.

If helmets are truly required by landowners / managers, then I'd think a
simple, official looking sign with "Helmets Required" would be the direct
approach; anything else might be "cute" and therefore ignored.

There is a sign with 10 park rules in it, the the "Wear a helmet"
rule is the 3rd or 4th line. It's not prominent enough.

Unfortunately you could have a 50 foot neon sign and it would still be
disregarded. Their "nut should be covered" if it's on a regulation sign, so
not sure what the issue is.

It sounds like there is a story behind this; I hope the place is not on the
brink of closure because of some doofus.
