The logo and artwork can contribute a lot to the concept of this fan edit-- the idea of an "OT" version of Episode II. The logos that have bars seem far more like the title of a movie to me. Logos without the bars, such as 9a, look like they could be the logo for a toy or a book, but not so much another movie on par with "The Empire Strikes Back." The graphic weight of the bars enhances the title. (The logo on my mock-up is one of the first provided by Klokwerk-- one of the reasons I called it "out of date." But the color matched that piece of art perfectly, so I used it. It's nice, but Klokwerk has produced better ones since then).

I think a cleaned up version of Trooperman's artwork will be perfect-- easy to read, substantial, and similar to (but unique from) the other OT title logos. De-emphasizing the words "of the" helps get across the poetic image of a shroud descending from the nebulous "Dark Side." Plus, it comes from the guy who's doing all the work in the first place. What more could anyone ask for?
