Although if someone wants to nitpick, the new petition here simply asks for the original versions restored, while the banner could suggest we want whatever version as long as the colors are proper. Some people unfamiliar with the films might think from the banner that the original versions were released with the wrong colors when that was actually one of the things the unaltered dvd's got right. I don't think it's a big deal but those who would call us "whiny fanboys" might use it as another lame response.

Right, I just liked Ripplin's "Blu Not Blue" line.  I can try something along the same lines with GOUT vs Adywan's AVCHD, but I don't have a clever line for it!

 

Ah, Knightmessenger threw up a very pertinent point there.

It seems I may have mistakenly believed that these banner designs were to encourage better-coloured versions of the 'Special Editions' of the OT on Blu-ray....as let's face it, that's definately the versions that GL will want to release first and foremost again.  And even though I didn't agree with a lot of GL's tinkering choices, I'd at least like the masses to see better looking versions of them this time round.... 

If that is the intention with these banners you came up with doubleofive, then as far as the layout of your long example here, might I suggest moving your Blu not Blue! lettering up so that it's positioned at the top instead (although Yoda's features may need lowered a little so that his eyes etc. aren't obscured too much in that central shot), and align your Sign the Petition for a proper restoration of the Original Trilogy on Blu-ray! lettering on the bottom left instead, while keeping a single http://originaltrilogy.com/petition/  aligned on the bottom right where you currently have it.

If on the other hand, you mean that you're going to try for a banner emphasising how we'd actually like a well-presented 'GOUT' version of the OT on Blu-ray, as opposed to the badly-coloured 'Special Edition'....then perhaps you could keep the Blu not Blue! heading, and just change the longest lettering to Sign the Petition for a proper restoration of the pre-Special Edition Original Trilogy on Blu-ray! instead.

Just some thoughts.
