What about paper stock certificates representing glbse shares ?
I don't think GLBSE shares have Bitcoin addresses. Nefario would have to issue those. He would have to decide how much value would be transferable to a paper certificate and how much should remain digital. 
Deeds and Titles are typically government issued. For lack of a better word, we can call it a "Bitcoin Account". I've added some different graphics for the elliptic curve crypto and a better background.
Also, since when you import the private key you basically transfer all of the bitcoins in the account, I changed it from "SPEND" to "SPEND ALL".

I agree about Account. An account can have one or more key pairs. A wallet can have one or more Accounts.
I LIKE IT!

refresh this page one more time, they now say "Bitcoin Note" and "Bitcoin Bearer Bond"
A financial note is defined as a debt instrument, with maturity from one year to ten. A banknote is a promissory note though they are no longer private instruments redeemable for precious metal but instead are national banknotes and thus fiat currency.
Is it safe to say the term note would be misused here?
Or does it even matter though? It doesn't say banknote, it just says note.
And thus a bitcoin note can have the definition that it contains a private key that can be used for spending?
(full disclosure: I registered bitcoinnote.com, bitcoinnotes.com, btcnote.com, and btcnotes.com ... in anticipation that there would be the need for a paper bitcoin that would allow an inexpensive method for a trusted party to transfer bitcoins offline.)
Voucher or Token or something that needs no other backing. Something like what you would call Gold, Silver, etc...
Good points. Notes are paper representation of a debt instrument. What would you a call a paper representation of an asset?
A deed or title I suppose...
Coupon?

Is a PDF version of that Bitcoin Barer Bond available yet?

i do not have a design suggestion but a practical one.
i think there should be self-printable bitcoins. those should secure the private key with a pin/password/pattern.
so if they get lost or stolen they are not as dangerous as "blanks". once a user wants to spend them he writes the pin on the bitcoin note, the reciever then uses this to redeem it.
of course, this only makes sense if the clients support it. but if you set the precedence im sure smart clients will follow.

after printing one out..
I think a bit bill should be the size of a folded bill..
And have it so that folded one specific way in half.. should hide the private key..
Like so.. think of this as each side of the bill
----------------
| X X |
| | - Front
----------------
----------------
| X O |
| | - Back
----------------
X's being the public addy, O being the private key..
Printing it like this, with a fold in the right direction can serve to hide the key until needed.. or even seal the bill shut with any tamper evident seal if made small enough you couldnt just look inside the folded bill..

Too funny. I ne'er did follow that tonal thing...tl;dr kinda thing. Anyhow, Luke is a good guy. I wonder what he'd think about the designs. I know he's held at least one BitBill before.
but I do feel we could go for a little bit more depth and really revel in the mathematical roots of Bitcoin 
.
Just add to the requirements that in addition to decimal the numbers should be printed in tonal. Then Luke-Jr will do all your work for free and will contribute to the bounty..

Instead of imitating the look of USD notes and putting pictures of random scientists and silly slogans of the 'in ${whatever} we trust' variety, I would really like to see a design that reflects some of Bitcoin's fundamental building blocks.
For example:
I'm not knocking the existing designs but I do feel we could go for a little bit more depth and really revel in the mathematical roots of Bitcoin.
Yep, I really think having the design change based on the current hashrate and blockcount at time of printing would be awesome For example:
- shapes derived from elliptical curves that the ECDSA algorithm is based on
- watermark based on the bit patterns of the individual iterations of the SHA1 function (160 bits go through 80 steps which could be visualized as 160x80 bitmap)
- prime numbers!
- some reference to Bitcoin script - it's kind of key to the system yet many people are not even aware it exists
- express the peer to peer nature of the network
- symbolic representation of the block chain

Very insightful. Very tough to do well. Aim for the skies boys! For example:

So I changed things around a bit. Separateness the QR codes so it is better for scanning.
The middle square would be great to make it fully cognizable with all the different photo's / backgrounds...
Maybe an idea for more protection is print half of the QR code on the front. Half on the back. Then if you fold the bill you can scan the code for redeeming.
The loading/looking part can still be on the front because you only can load funds and see how much the bill is worth.
This way you can easily check value and only if you want the balance off you need to do some work.
