How about this one? (click for the full version)

It's from some thread on OT.com regarding either 35mm or 70mm prints (can't remember exactly). I assume that's where you got the LFL one as well? They were both rather crummy though, so I had to straighten it and fix some uneven letter thicknesses (due to different exposure, I guess).

Although instead of just stills I'd like to do the logos as videos including gate weave, a slight glow and the color changes during the fades as well (like my German ones).

Laserschwert, the fixed credits look great. Just one last thing - you still didn't remove the hyphen from "See-Threepio". As I pointed out before, it's "See Threepio" in the original.

Everything else looks on the nose, right down to the "producers wish to thank" notice being too far over to the right. :)

CatBus, you're right. With all the analysis I did, even I didn't notice that. *facepalm*

Quotation marks are already the correct curlicues - I was the one who noticed that the leading quote marks in John "D" needed to be rotated 180 degrees.

Oh, yet another thing I noticed. In the Dolby logo, the font you used for "Making Films Sound Better" / "Noise Reduction - High Fidelity" is incorrect. It's actually ITC Avant Garde Gothic Standard Demi Bold - I can tell because the legs of the M in the original are standing straight up, while the font you used (Century Gothic?) has them diagonal.

The font in the MPAA logo is also inaccurate, but I can't figure out what the actual font is...

Amazing work, Harmy! I actually love having those things in really good quality. It starts the edition off on a fantastic note.

All right then, I'll re-work them once more, trying to fix any errors that are still there... hyphens, quotation marks and the new starfield. And while we're at "See Threepio", isn't the "O" in "C3PO" supposed to be a "0" (zero)? I've copy/pasted the credits from that BlueHarvest-site I've linked to above, and it already had a lot of typos, so this might be one of the more difficult to tell ones.

In case you didn't notice, I've added a slight twinkle to the starfield... is that working? Or ist it too much? The original starfields twinkled slightly because of exposure differences, I think...

As for the fonts, yeah, I've used Century Gothic for the Dolby logo's texts, so thanks for the correct one, I'll change it :-) Also I guess I'll just rebuild the "DOLBY SYSTEM" line with something like Eurostile, as I just took a Google image for that. Regarding the MPAA-font... no idea... it's way too small to tell. I think I'll try a font that's closer to this:

Well, Laserschwert, now you have no excuse for excluding the German credits given that you have a template now. :)

IF it works as a template... I doubt the layout and line spacings of the German credits will be exactly the same.

Yes!  The pic mverta posted recently to SWLegacy will hopefully lead to more, as he will attempt to contact his sources for more info on how the credits were created.  Speculation is that the credits were done on glass and the drop shadow was a byproduct of that system.  Haven't seen them yet but mverta noted that the drop shadow was not consistent over the whole frame.  Which could mean it was done internally with a light source which was close enough to shift the drop shadow, to what degree, don't know.  [but as they've done the open crawl outside, maybe the credits were done that way too, don't know]

other full credit pics are available here: http://fd.noneinc.com/Credits/  but most are in the thread doubleofive mentioned.

Laserschwert's version looks great.  The copyright symbol at the end looks little big and I wonder if the 'c' is actually on the same line as the rest of the text, so the circle dips a little.  But things look spot on, sucks our sources are less informative.
