Hi Everyone,
Just as the title says, we need your help, before I can share anything we really need some kind of an NFO template, are there any members here that is good at making these kind of templates, we want it to be something that when it first gets clicked open you know right away it is an NFO from us, this would really help speed things a long so all we would have to do is type in the info and then save and go, I have seen and still see some groups NFO's actually have like a logo on the top, this would be real nice for us, but none of us know how to do this, so if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
Second, we would like a very short logo type video made to show that a release is from us, I have seen in the past members here making them up for others, well this to is something we think we should have, so if anyone has any ideas, suggestions, please post and let us know, and most of all if anyone can actually make us a kick ass video logo with audio this would be great! we were thinking on having this play when the BD is first placed into the player, nothing to long, and then goes to the top menu, and at 1080p of course lol, so if anyone can help, this would be sweet!
So please if anyone here can help we sure can use it, these 2 things would really be nice to have, and I will think of someway to repay you for your time if we use what you come up with, I am sure I can come up with something lol to share, and 1 more thing, we really do not want it Star Wars related because we do a lot of non SW as well.
Thanks
Team Blu

You mean for the NFO? if so that is perfectly fine with us, we just need some kind of template because I know for me I am not real good at wording these things but surely would like to include one for informational purposes, but yes that would be fine, hell I think that is all NFO's can use anyways right? I am not real sure.
Thanks

I misunderstood. I should have read the OP more closely.
I'll start researching what kind of information is best to include.

No worries, it's all good, I just hope we can get some help on this, but I have actually asked before on an NFO template and no one was able to help out, so now I am asking 1 more time for someone to help us help you.
Thanks again

(AKA "Albe Sure")I'm no expert here, but if no one else beats me to it…I may have a go at either/or of these branding projects. A quick Google search revealed SEVERAL text and image to ascii art generators, here's a nice large sampling that I liked:
-> http://patorjk.com/software/taag/#p=testall&f=Graffiti&t=Team%20Blu
…and maybe the top part could read something like:
Another *QUALITY* release by:
Team Blu (in ascii art)
…then followed by specs and details of the specific release, and such.
Any preferences?

We aren't picky, just something real nice and unique and when opened you will know right away it is a release by us lol, and specs and such obviously I will put in when projects are finished but a template would just make things so much easier and uniform for us so all I have to do is drop in specs, and have a comment section and wallah, ready for release lol.
Thanks for helping us out, any help on these 2 things would be great!

(AKA "Albe Sure")I'm confident that I could put together a viable ASCII-rich .nfo draft or two here in the next couple/few days…I'll post my progress as it comes.
Maybe some more talented video/graphics designer will take up the mantle on the short video clip? I have a couple ideas that might look pretty spiffy, but we'll see where we're at as project .nfo approaches readiness.
All the best! ;)

Right on. (Obviously dark_jedi did 95% of the work while I just switched around the elements a little.)
I like the color scheme, the elements, and basic arrangement myself. I think this is a logo that draws inspiration from the TMed logo, but also clearly differentiated enough as to help safe guard Team Blu from "Team Infringement".
p.s. Here's a slimmer model (I can picture this, or similar set on a white background on-screen…or just stick with dark_jedi's original full screen blue background with only the white lettering:

Better Grumpy than DopeyWith NFO files, you should make use of the code page 437 character set, which gives you some extra graphical characters not available with ASCII.
Here's my template, which I had someone else do for me a long time ago:

Personally, I prefer the ASCII model…aesthetically I think it looks cleaner and less "industrial" for lack of a better word (just my $0.02).
I, of course, leave it to Team Blu and originaltrillogy forum members. IF an ASCII model is desired, I'd be happy to lend a little effort to its design. ;)

Maybe have the logo graphic be a play on the THX intro, with that awesome sound?
The sound creeps in, and as it crescendos, the "Project Blu )" logo above comes into focus, then the small text below reading "originaltrilogy.com" and then the little shine that goes across it.

Which THX intro are you talking about? there are many.

Now that I can make out much better, very nice, so if someone, anyone can get a template for me soon I can fill it out and get Conan up and out for you guys.
So does anyone have any idea on a short Team Blu video clip we can add to first play on our BD's?

(AKA "Albe Sure")@dark_jedi: Sorry for not moving forward sooner (today was our newly designated "family day", and that explicitly means NO COMPUTER TIME for daddy.)
Moving forward, satanika's ANSI logo looks just fine if you decide to go with ANSI…but in terms of "a little cleaner" and generally more legible, here's an inverse ASCII that I would submit for your consideration:

…and I'll have a simple/clean and easily modified .nfo template ready and available by morning.
I am totally good with whatever direction is deemed best in the end, but it's not going to settle with me if I don't take just a little more time and provide a viable option that's at least worthy of consideration.
All the best!
A_New_Hope

(AKA "Albe Sure")OK then-
So, here's an EARLY prototype (based upon released "Star Wars Original Trilogy Theatrical Edition Blu-ray Set V2(BD25)" specs, dark_jedi's "SWV3DVD.nfo" and several others' .nfo files, and using a slightly scaled down ASCII art design from that shown in my post directly above this one).
There are SEVERAL missing specs and updates that would need to be made. Certainly, Team Blu contact info, and various other fields could easily be added, removed, or rearranged. While additional decorative ASCII could be added to this file (with some trade-off in terms of ease-of-use), my effort in this early version was primarily to get feedback and thereby a better gauge of desired content and structure.
