Star Wars Logos?

I've been following this forum for awhile, especially the DVD cover thread where people have posted some amazing stuff!

I'm hosting a marathon at my college (of OCPMovie's version), and spent about two hours searching for high-resolution - 200dpi or higher - original trilogy logos (The Star Wars logo, A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of Jedi) for the poster I am designing to advertise the event. Because color is too expensive, I was looking for black and white versions but I can Photoshop anything to look how I want I just need the higher resolution since I don't have access to Illustrator or Freehand to vectorize them. After about two hours of searching with Google, A2.com, and Yahoo I've given up and am hoping to get help from you, my fellow fans.

Thanks so much for reading this.

I have some dvd templates with the logos, maybe you can use them.

Rhett Thanas:
Welcome! I can help you out here. There is a site called Brands of the World which has many eps files of thousands of different logos. I suggest you go to that site and type in lots of variations on what you want to find. For example: SW, Star Wars, ANH, New Hope, ESB, TESB, Empire Strikes Back, ROTJ, ROJ, Return of the Jedi, Faces, DefCol, Special Edition, etc.

I did this sometime late last year and downloaded all the Star Wars related logos, however, the disc that I burnt them to is far from being found. Good luck finding what you need. Sometimes there will be 2 versions of the same logo. Get both and take a closer look at them, one will be a bit sloppy due to someone recreating the logo crappily. The other one should be more polished. I think ESB is the prime example of this. I got the ESB ones again the other day for use in a cover for "Building Empire".

Enough of my ranting! Hope I helped somewhat.

"Completely lost," eh?

Can't you vectorise in Photoshop? When I needed a hi-res Star Wars logo for my disc's label, I scanned it from one of the VHS covers, resized it to a higher res, then drew paths (or you could use shapes) around it. Then you fill the paths and you've got a clean hi-res logo.

Do the Sith have a logo/emblem? Im looking for something along the lines of the Rebel Alliance symbol or Empire symbol. I found one for Jedi, Empire, Rebels, Seperatists, and Republic but cant find anything for the Sith.

It's the Jedi Order symbol, created recently for stories taking place in the NJO era.

Oh, and thanks a lot klokwerk for your link, this site is just great! And not only for the Star Wars logos. I've found a great Aliens logo!

I seem to recall that the Jedi symbol from the PT is simply the Imperial insignia with one additional spoke.

Which logo? Maybe you're talking about the Republic logo, which is very similar to the Empire logo, but it's the Republic so, it has sense IMO.

Are you sure about that? I've seen a ROTS poster with Anakin and Obi Wan dueling, with this image in the background. So is it the jedi logo for both old and new orders?

You know of the rebellion against the Empire?

Well, I've checked, and the real era name is "Legacy" (or Legacy of the Force), depicting events 37+ ABY. Here is the article on the official site.

Thanks for the info. I wish someone at Lucasfilm would explain this then:

Thanks, I hadn't been able to find anything on the official site. I tried searching the databank (useless) at first i used the pictures they displayed, but they were inconsistant (ie, look at the background 'watermark' behind the info, it didnt seem to fit the information, though it might now that i know about the errors).

anyway, im looking for logo's that relate to the following groups

Jedi
Sith
Empire
Rebellion
Republic
Seperatist
Clone Army

the empire, rebellion, and republic were easy. pretty sure i also have the seperatist. Thought i had the jedi, but guess i dont (though it still may work if i cant find anything else)

Darth Simon, what do you think is the logo for the clone army?

It's becoming apparent that the Lucasfilm continuity guys aren't doing a very good job of keeping track of these. The official site's use of logos to designate eras only adds to the confusion. Logos are used to represent organizations, not periods of time.

So we have to look at these logos, see how they've been used in the movies, and come to our own conclusions. I've come up with the following:

http://www.starwars.com/community/event/celebration/f20050419/img/p25_1_sm.jpg
As Kaal-Jhyy has pointed out, this is for the new "Legacy of the Force" era. However, it looks like a precursor to the rebellion lego, so it might be a Jedi logo from before the purge. A shame it was not used on the Jedi starfighters in Episode II. So is this a "Jedi" logo? Maybe.

http://www.erikstormtrooper.com/sith_logo.jpg
The official site used to use this as the logo for the Sith. I have to wonder if a secret society such as the sith would even have a logo.

http://starwars.wikicities.com/images/2/22/Sithempire2.jpg
Alternate sith logo. From http://starwars.wikicities.com/wiki/Sith, this appears to be a logo from the old Sith Empire. I don't know if it's cannon or not.

http://www.erikstormtrooper.com/Cislogo.png
Separatists, or more specifically, the Confederation of Independent Systems. Odd that this logo was not seen on the separatist forces in Episode II.

http://www.erikstormtrooper.com/republic_space_forces_logo.jpg
Seen on Episode III Jedi fighters and Republic Star Destroyers. Anyone care to take a guess on this one? I say it's the logo for Republic Space Forces.

Comments?

This is an incredible community and I thank you all for your help!

If you're curious to see what I was making you can see the near-final version on my Flickr page.


If you (or anyone else) want more logos, I have a lot of them, even the manufacturers logo (such as "Industrial Automaton", "Incom",...), even if they're easy to find with Google Images, I think...

BTW, I love this logo, even if it's not a "real" SW universe logo:
