(I can post higher resolution versions once we know how they come out)

 

I ordered a test one from carstickers.com, we'll see in a week how they come out.  At which time we can release the .ai version for people to get their own printed, or if someone wants to order in bulk and do a small mail order that's if you've got some free time.  I think providing the instructions how to do it is the best.

The negatives of the movies were permanently altered for the creation of the Special Editions

 

 

We want you to be aware that we have no plans—now or in the future—to restore the earlier versions.

The post before, you said you now know all about the 2004 dvds, now you say that IF you wanted to know you could go to wikipedia.  These kind of statements are why you are unreliable.

So since we are in or close to leak season, what are specific shots or things which people can use to verify if some release is an actual blu-ray rip.  And Part Two: What things should someone check for once it's verified as being a blu-ray rip.

 

kenkraly2007 wrote: I now I understand about all the issues with that set now but before I did'nt. 

Maybe we should ask ken to write up the definitely list of SW DVD 'Creative Decision' issues.

What were the initial size estimates you all wanted these to be at?  Erikstormtrooper mentioned 5" width height would be about 3" high.  We need to test out carstickers.com, to see how they turn out and how long it takes.  [website says 3 days + 2-9 days shipping] Anyone into placing an order? 

So looking at these options, made some .ai files which can be used with the order:

link: http://www.carstickers.com/Create_A_Cut-Out_Decal_With_Your_Image_or_Logo.php

 

5"x5"  -  (do not send the .png) = $9.00

.ai file: http://noneinc.com/SSW/4_carstickers.com/SSWc-Logo_4carstickerscom-5x5_3.ai

 

8"x4.5"  -  (do not send the .png) = $10.50

.ai files: http://noneinc.com/SSW/4_carstickers.com/SSWc-Logo_4carstickerscom-8x45_3.ai

 

If you'd like a specific size, post what you'd like or take the .ai and modify as needed.  The small ones on both sheet might be 'too' small.  Don't know how their paper and cutting mechanisms work.  (assuming laser cut, so then it's how easy is it to remove and paste.)  The .com part is going to be a pain in all versions most likely.  I wouldn't order more then one the first time, not sure what to expect.

 

The cafe press "4 mil vinyl" options are either 3"x5" or 10"x3".

Mielr, (summons the spirit of Lando) you've gotta give people more time... to join a site.  Was the weekend, plus some bad weather on one coast, which could mean part of your audience never saw the page.  ...and you are dealing with a prickly bunch round here who don't use many social networking sites.

*puts on a GL hat* Tweaked the logo again. (using Tyrphanax, Erikstormtrooper & LexX's suggestions [passing the buck already])  See now what Anchorhead was upto, so modified the 'E' and uprighted the 'A'.

 

Flyer text idea:

The FORCE maybe on Blu-Ray but the films as you remember them are not.  The Star Wars Blu-Ray does not contain the theatrical versions of any of the six films.  So when they advertise 'OWN EVERY MOMENT' ...Lucasfilm is using the old Jedi Mind Trick.

Need an exact quote and website location (preferrably the official site) which re-states this idea.

Flyer idea (quarter of a 8.5x11) can have a different message on each side.

DID YOU KNOW...

...you are not purchasing the 1977 version of Star Wars.  Or even the 1981 re-release version or the 1997 Special Edition version.  The films which grabbed the public’s attention is fading from the public’s consciousness as the creator continues to tinker with the films.  Copyright laws prohibits the general public from preserving these films.  We ask you to consider this when shopping today.  May the films be preserved.

SAVESTARWARS.COM

Forgot about the bar code scan, will drop the text size down a notch and put the barcode next to the SSW logo.  Throw out ideas for text, there's different angles to approach from.  In this version tried to quickly point out the issue, but leave it up to the reader to decide.  In a fairly benign way.

That car sticker company looks perfect for the window kind, you see those 'Stick Families' everywhere.

Erikstormtrooper wrote: I think you need to tweak the E just a bit. If you look at anchorhead's version, the lower "notch" in the E is longer. It makes the E look less wide at the bottom if you do that.

Ahhh see that now, will update tomorrow.

Had you seen one of the HD broadcasts, of the last few years, before seeing this preview?  If yes, anything catch your senses, where this blu-ray changes?  Did they have a special booth?

Not sure how that would work with the "V" next to it, but I guess it could look more like "|/" and be okay.

I tried to recycle as much as I could.  So the 'S' is from warS, flopped and re-perspectived.  The 'A' is from stAr and just needed to be mirrored.  Generally the 'S' and 'R' take up a block, with the other letters pushing and pulling on each other as needed.  The 'E' ends up odd, but with the three legs all being the same your eye is drawn to the perspective edge more then the 'V' side.  Looking at this next version maybe the 'V' could be a little thicker.  (sorry can't stop futzin')

Thanks, great suggestions all around, it's pulling together.  Who is the target audience for this?  Viral would be great, but how do we go about that?

Since the design discussion seems to be entering a close, i'll toss out the files again, and everyone's got to do some research on paper choice, could we get a 'cut' version where each letter would require application, or is there a transparent paper which is weather resistant.  Once that's found some discussion on actual final size.  But it's probably worth having a straight black on white or white on black version as a fall back.

But here's where we left off with some modifications:

Black text (.com cut out)                    White text (.com cut out)       Black text / White field

So seeing this version with the .com cut out, go this way or have the .com the opposite color?

All these versions can be Temporarily found here: http://noneinc.com/SSW/Logo4Voting/

[the .ai is the source illustrator file (infinitely scaleable) also in there are a larger version and the sm(all) version for posting in thread]

And we can throw any image into the text:

For those on the cheap, Staples has 'Light Fabric Transfer' paper, print out and iron onto whatever t-shirt you've got.  (have done one so far, and it's held up thru a year of washing/wear)
