Could one of you guys combine these to make a “clean” template?
It’s not exact, but this is from something I knocked up in the ‘dvd cover’ thread a few weeks ago…
Hopefully it’ll be ok for what you want?

oojason, that is perfect! I’ll make sure you get credit for it too. 😃
Now all we need is to figure out a text font that is bold yet easy to read.
Where were you in '77?
And good call flipping the Luke/Leia emblem. Why was it even flipped in the first place?
I would put this in my sig if I weren’t so lazy.
Gentle Giant made a “deliberate creative decision”. 😉
The only nit I have to pick is the squiggly thing by Luke’s saber.

Thanks so much for helping with this, oojason. Any suggestions on the text font, size, and color would be appreciated. 😃

I think that old Mac font, Chicago, would be pretty cool. It’s currently available as the latin characters in the Tai fonts (Krungthep and Silom) if you’re a mac user.

Opening crawl yellow for the color.
It seems like people are really embracing the new characters. In fact, the big question people ask me now about Star Wars is, “Are Finn and Poe gay lovers?” And really how the f*ck would I know? My second husband left me for a man, so my gaydar isn’t exactly what you’d call Death Star level quality. ----Carrie Fisher
I think opening crawl yellow is slightly too obnoxious for this, pure white, silver, or pale gold might look better in my opinion. (It’s so cool that we’re doing something!)
As far as the actual text, what should it say? Is anyone here able to make a short, yet elequantly moving speech?
I decided to add a signature
Everybody who knows how, feel free to make up some dummy text using oojason’s template, so we can see how various colors and font will look.
As for the text, a lot is going to depend on what is officially said (or not said) at Celebration. I’ll take a shot at a draft. I welcome others to do the same.

No worries - though I’m only a ‘copy n paste’ MS Paint hack - the real talent on here would be able to help you out a lot better than I can (frankt, ronwlim, stealthboy, one69chev, detola, crpl_hicks, phildesfr, chrisrudd4554, chyron8472 - amongst many others etc).
Just a quick knock-up for a few ideas on various fonts… (I’d have no idea on how to do a crawl type text myself - though am sure the talented lads on here could)
sites like…

^ are all free and easy to use & download various fonts - as well as being able to see each letter and an example up close 😃

Very nice template, it would definitely help the letter stand out. Definitely would refrain from using ‘the Crawl’ colours.
Some fonts I like: SF Distant Galaxy, Franklin Gothic Heavy, Franklin Gothic Demi & Chicago FLF. It’s not wise to use any fancy, or fonts that make the text too thin.
We should make a new thread for this I think. I have a action figure template I made years ago, I need to find it.

Yeah, a thread called Petition Wars: Return of The Fans

Hey Oojason, I tweaked the Star Wars template you posted, just a little bit, to remove the different shades of the colour black that are the center. It now looks a little cleaner, and uniform with the colour black in the star field area at the top. I wanted to help out this cause, in anyway possible.
I hope this helps! 😃

Thanks. It’s a combined effort, every bit helps.
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!
Han: Hey Lando! You kept your promise, right? Not a scratch?
Lando: Well, what’s left of her isn’t scratched. All the scratched parts got knocked off along the way.
Han (exasperated): Knocked off?!
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.
Still had too much jpeg artifacting for my taste, so I tried to clean it up a tad:

We have no idea whether it’s going to happen or not, hence preparing a social media message in case it doesn’t.
There’s no harm in trying.

We already use McQuarrie art on the twitter account, and nobody has had a cow about it, AFAIK.
