Sure, you want to attract the eye... but presumably the covers of the books you've chosen have already done that.
Sure you want the patron to know what the theme of the display is... but again the covers and the contents of the books have also done that.
Really the creation of signage is a way of letting the patron know why YOU think this particular assembly of books is "totally cool.. and they should totally read them!!!". You're, in a way, letting them see a piece of your brain, your soul, the way you think... THAT'S pretty cool!
I had to create an image for an armchair travel series I created, mainly because every image out there I found were inadequate for what I wanted to portray as my event. Quite frankly it was kind of fun... a little time consuming, but fun.

The image I ended up creating had a more high-brow feeling (what with the coupe and the goth-like wings...) than what I had seen online... and I'm quite glad with the final result!
Now the wordoodle (or the meme) I've never had to use, but I've seen it used to really cool effect!
Pretty fun!
