Still had too much jpeg artifacting for my taste, so I tried to clean it up a tad:
Thanks for that!
I think it’s unlikely to run into legal trouble. People share copyrighted photos frequently on social media, and ive never heard of someone getting hit with a cease and desist for that. If we were publishing this in a magazine, or buying ad space for it then we would definitely have a problem, but as long as we are just tweeting and sharing the image I see no issue.

Sorry to rain on your parade guys (and IANAL), but I don’t think it’s a good idea to use any copyrighted material. So no Star Wars logo, no Kenner packaging. Better use the “Original Trilogy” logo at the bottom of this page!
We already use McQuarrie art on the twitter account, and nobody has had a cow about it, AFAIK.

Eh, I’ll bite. Where can I find a clean version of the Death Star logo?
What, a man builds a giant mound of dirt in his house and you aren’t entertained?
Do you really think this is going to happen? It’s been fucking decades. If they thought it was a viable business opportunity they would have done it years ago. They aren’t gonna release an old version for a load of middle aged folk reminiscing. They’d rather spend cash on churning loads of utter crap out.
If you aren’t going to contribute anything positive, then kindly show yourself out.

Back in the days when fans would take a trade ad out in a magazine to try and save a tv show, they would use a copyrighted logo element or two.
I really need to frame my copy of this. 😉
Where were you in '77?
Wow that’s a good point.
If we wanted to buy ad space for this I would pitch in, it would be really cool to see it plastered all over the web.

Social media is probably our best bet in 2017.

Wise guy.

Wait, Bosk and IP55 are different people?
I think somebody slipped up. 😉

Sorry for not including the Death Star graphic or anything like that, I couldn’t find it

Nice! Somebody has the old OT logo as their sig file, but I can’t remember who…
JEDIT:Found it on archive.org
Our old Death Star could be floating in the upper right corner?

To answer my own question…yes.
Thank the maker.

Here’s another little idea, just a test:

I’ll just be linking them from now own, keep from cluttering up the board. I can move the little Death Star anywhere ya like, so just ask

It’s me - wanted to preserve just in case of this very scenario!
Looks great! I should have said left upper corner, as it was always on the left side. Sorry! It might also work on the bottom left as part of a signature.

You’re welcome.

I’m glad you did! It was a crapshoot if archive had every graphic element of the old forums saved.

Which begs the question of how Threepio would react if he ever found out who his maker was? 😉

I kinda prefer the latter

They’re both great, Swiss. The first one could be our new front page even!

I love our old Death Star. Someone else around here has all the old icon-sized character portraits in their signature. Man, we’ve come a long way. What’s it been, fifteen years or more?
