My Custom Equipment and Gear logos!

[Gary Murrell]

hey guys

I thought I would share these things if anyone was interested

I have had some free time and decided to set down and make some equipment/gear logos for my equipment in my HT setup using my photoshop skills

these Logos are Gold and are 8x10 in size, if I get the logos up, a simple stop over at a photo studio(like Wally or pharmacy etc.) one can print these out and you have high quality logos that look sharp as a tack in your HT room and show off your favorite gear brands

I take requests for signs, simply post in the thread or PM
I am doing this free of any charge, I am simply doing it for the fun of it and to provide something to AVS folks, if you want to donate a few $'s for my time you are free to do so
here is a donation link:

Donation Link For My HT Signs (http://home.bigsandybb.com/gmurrell/donation.html)

here are a few I have worked on recently for my setup, of course these are compressed and resized which ruins quality, full 8x10 bmps are what these come from

[Monoplex]

Those are some nice looking signs!

[Gary Murrell]

Mono thanks

I am a cheap DIY bastard but also don't like cheap looking stuff ;) I was amazed at how good these look on my wall, high rez graphics in photoshop make all the difference

someone shoot me a request and I will test my skills :D

-Gary

[power]

very nice work Gary!

i guess i'll be first:)

how about Monitor Audio, SVS subvoofers, you have the Velo one:), Harman Kardon, Sherwood Newcastle and i think that's enough for now. This should give you something to work with :) PM me with details.

[Gary Murrell]

I knew I would get a SN request :D

you guys like the regular or reflection type ?

-Gary

[htomei22]

Gary, those are VERY, VERY nice!! I would vote for the reflective style. Really gives the signs depth and pzazz....

htomei

[Gary Murrell]

Thanks

now If I had a way to put these babies up for everyone, my **** webspace is ziltch space and these are 25mb each full resolution 8x10 300DPI BMP's

-Gary

[power]

Gary,

i like the reflective style as well, looks great!

[Gary Murrell]

Serge I must admit I have never heard of Monitor Audio, neat logo though ;)

http://home.bigsandybb.com/gmurrell/logos/Monitor_Audio.jpg

-Gary

[power]

:eek:

Beautiful speakers in my opinion:) Now how do i get high rez versions of these? Sending you a PM some time tonight.

[power]

thanks Gary,

now i wonder how those dolby digital, DTS and THX logos we see on the forum all the time would look with your skills incorperated? Even a nice silver for the THX if doable... Time to buy some more ink for my photo printer:)

[Gary Murrell]

Of course I will make Dolby/DD Plus/DTS/THX/HD-DVD/BR/D-VHS/ etc etc and many more

I wish I had a huge site I could upload too

-Gary

[Jester 2]

Gary , How about a I did It my self ...... OR BYME OR ... IDIDITALL Speakers, WIFE APPROVED, WAF 100% I don't know just some funny ones that cover those of us (like yourself) that DIY

Jester 2

[Gary Murrell]

Jester I have been getting tons of requests and can make anything of course, I will make anything for free just need a little time to complete, if folks wanted they could donate a few bucks for a request, but I am doing this for free, I have got tons of help from AVS and love to return it

thanks guys, glad you like them, I need a place to upload these to for sure, I could see myself having hundreds of them soon ;)

-Gary

[ND23]

Gary, where are you getting the logos? For instance, if you had never heard of Monitor Audio, where did you go to get a logo to work with?

Just curious,
ND

[power]

Gary,

let me see what i can do for you to upload to my site...

ND,

i think Gary has heard of Monitor Audio, they are the best speakers in the world but i'll save that for the speakers forum. I think he was just kidding...I will not get flamed for saying that as much here:)

[Gary Murrell]

Power I had not heard of monitor audio :( looks like great gear for sure ;)
weird I hadn't heard of them as there ain't much that I haven't got wind of :)

Logos are easy to get just gotta know where to dig on their websites :)

thanks guys

-Gary

[power]

Gary,

you have a PM. i'll forgive you :) and i have some web space for you too...

[R_Willis]

Good looking work!

Reminds me of the signs that "signman200" is selling on eBAY.

[Gary Murrell]

Yeah I saw those, don't like the silver nor the prices :D

I have FTP space now thanks to Serge and will start uploading these suckers

I think I will put these up as PNG's

thanks guys

-Gary

[fernye]

How about Polk and Yamaha ? Let me know if you need more webspace.

[CollinViegas]

How about:

Denon
Danley Soundlabs
Klipsch THX Ultra2
Pioneer Elite
Sony "SXRD"
Philips Pronto
HD DVD / BluRay
PS3 / Xbox360

I threw some I would be interested in and some generic names that might appeal to a broad audience...

Gret Work!!!

[ND23]

If you could improve upon these two by signman200 (on eBay), that would be cool:

http://i2.ebayimg.com/04/i/08/1a/9e/9f_1_b.JPG

http://i22.ebayimg.com/03/i/08/13/8c/b0_1_b.JPG

I've got the .eps files for each of these two logos, if that will help you in any way.

I'm a big fan of that bottom reflection you do!

ND

[McCall]

How about KEF ?

[Gary Murrell]

Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback, I will be working on more signs and starting uploading soon, I have been working on my HT setup the past few days, which I haven't had or been able to use since April :(

I have all my signs up in my HT and boy do they look good :), I will post a pic of them soon

-Gary

[baltizar]

Gary,

I really like the reflective signs that you are making. I purchased a few from signman2000 on ebay, I like yours much more. If I may I would like to add B&K audio , Infinity speakers and Adcom to your list. Thanks for your great work, your signs are awesome.

ED

[3K FX]

How about a Behringer logo for all of us using one of the BFD's?

[Gary Murrell]

will do guys, I will get on these soon

-Gary

[jmorton]

Have these been uploaded somewhere yet? They look great and I would love to get the Sherwood Newcastle one. Parasound and Mirage speakers (not omnipolar) would also be nice to have.

[power]

Gary,

let me know if you need anything else, looking forward to the pics as well:)

[power]

guys,

contact myself or Gary via PM and we will send you the username and password info for the downloads.

here is the link:

http://www.htauthority.com/public_ftp/Gary/

I agreed to host the files on our site and the only thing that i ask is that members use these files for their personal use, they are not for resale or distribution. I mention this simply because we do not wish to get into trouble. For personal use it's okay (just like the dvd demo disks available on the forum).

Gary has several files up now, a big thank you to him and i believe we have the FTP all set-up and ready to go.

[power]

here is the link, i decided to use regular web browser for this so members do not have to fiddle around with FTP clients.

http://www.htauthority.com/public_ftp/Gary/

members still must request access from myself or Gary.

[Gary Murrell]

you got it Serge, great idea on the HTTP:// and not posting the code for the entire world to see :D

guys simply PM me and I will supply the access info

I will also setup a donation link for a few bucks if anyones wants to send something over, in no way do I request money and will be doing this for free for AVS folks, but thank you if you want to send a buck or 2 ;)

I will be updating the title post with what available logos are on there at any given time

they will all be lossless PNG

hope everyone enjoys them

-Gary

[Gary Murrell]

added a bunch of requests last night ;)

-Gary

[bhorrell]

How about:

NHT
Parasound
ReplayTV
Hitachi
Monster Power

[Sdallnct]

1st if you could PM with access to the site, I would really appreciate (if you want a PM from me 1st, I can do that).

2nd, would you consider non-HT signage? I just built a bar next to my HT and might be interested in a Guinness or Fat Tire sign for it.

3rd, I would love to throw a little bling your way for your time/effort

Thanks!

[power]

Sdallnct,

sent you a PM.

guys,

is everything okay so far? This should be straightforward via HTTP instead of FTP i would think. FTP requires a learning curve sometimes depending on software used. I know ND23 and myself were discussing this so i figured keep it simple and i am assuming all is well.

I am not FTP genius by any means:)

[CollinViegas]

Im interested in a few Signs:

SXRD
Klipsch
Danley Soundlabs
Pronto Proffesional
HD DVD / BluRay
Elite: By Pioneer
Monster Power
Scientific Atlanta
Playstation 3 / Xbox 360
Screen Research
Lutron

I know my list is long but I too would not mind sending you a few bucks for your time and most on my list are generic so I am sure many others would appreciate them aswell.

Also Power verything seems to be working fine for me...

[power]

Very good Collin,

don't feel bad, my list submitted to poor Gary was at least twice as long...

Sorry Gary:)

[Gary Murrell]

Thanks guys, I will work on any and all requests

I added a donation link to the title post, don't abuse and send me large amounts :), I am doing this for AVS folks no charge, if you want to send something over I appreciate the kindness

thanks

-Gary

[sparrow_69]

PM sent

I'd be interested in :
Athena Technologies (speaker manuf.)
Xbox 360
Sony Wega
DLP logo

[Gary Murrell]

just uploaded ATI amps, Denon, Hitachi, Barco, Marantz, DTS, DTS ES, B&K, Adcom, Kenwood, Infinity, Sony, Sony ES, Athena, Klipsch, Lutron and Scientific At. :)

-Gary

[power]

Thanks Gary,

ATI, DTS ES for me so strike those off my list. I think that's like 6 down and another 20 to go:) Looking great.

[CollinViegas]

just uploaded Scientific At. :)

enjoy!

-Gary

Thanks for the updates however I did not see Scientific Atlanta on the list?

[Gary Murrell]

Look again Collin ;)

just uploaded Behringer, Canare, Harman/Kardon, Paradigm, Lexicon, DLP, Polk Audio, Xbox 360, Pronto, Pronto Pro and a favorite company of mine, Draper screens

some neat logos in all these uploads :)

-Gary

[sparrow_69]

Excellent logos guys, tks!

Maybe a few more requests
DD-EX
THX
Xbox 360 without the round logo, just writing would be excellent
Talen but possibly with the talen logo? (looks like a half-moon) heres the logo http://www.toshiba.ca/web/link?id=1281

[nick2003]

Hi Gary, Wow these signs look great!, Almost every sign i need is listed i just need a few:

Da-Lite Screen Company, Inc.
Sanyo
Pioneer
Something for the Motorola 6412 HD DVR'S? Or maybe just Motorola.

Im interested to see what pattern you guys are hanging these in sense there are so many. Please post pics if you have yours hung! :)

Thanks!
Nick

[sparrow_69]

How is everyone using these? Do you just print them out and put them in a frame?

[joekoz]

Nice work Gary. How about Paradigm?

[bhorrell]

How about:

NHT
Parasound
ReplayTV
Hitachi
Monster Power

How could I forget about SVS


Thanks

[McCall]

Still hoping for KEF and how about something for Sandman's Smx screen material? That would be really kool for us DIY that made Smx AT screens. Also if someone could pm me access info that would be great too.
Thanks
McCall

[mflanagan]

How about Oppo?

Nice work!!

[CollinViegas]

how about something for Sandman's Smx screen material? That would be really kool for us DIY that made Smx AT screens. Also if someone could pm me access info that would be great too.
Thanks
McCall

I was thinking of that aswell but figured gary would have to get in touch with Ruben and ask for his official logo rather than just make one up for him...

[vitod]

How is everyone using these? Do you just print them out and put them in a frame?

Read the very first post. :rolleyes:

[Gary Murrell]

Paradigm is up there, I will work on these requests and the previous ones soon, some logos I have attempted to do cannot be done because no sources are available, this is rare, but will happen occasionally :(

I suggest placing these on a CD and heading to a photo center like Wal-Mart or etc., they will be 100% professional and look it also ;)

I have have some pics up soon of mine

thanks guys

-Gary

[power]

Gary,

let me know if you need some logos of the theater seating, i have those on hand;) Better yet i will send them to you...

edit: Gary, how big do you need the logos and what is the preferred format? Some of the logos are pretty smallish so i am unsure as to what extent you can work your magic to enlarge them.

[rothwell]

Great work Gary.

Is Berkline and Carada Criterion Series already on the list?

[Gary Murrell]

these boutique makers are gonna be tough to make signs for, logos are not available in sufficient size to make my signs look good

I need logos to be high quality uncompressed PNG, BMP or etc. and to be massive

I will work digging for sources, but some are not gonna be able to be done sadly

unless someone people have connections at brands that would want to supply the logos to folks who own their gear, if someone wants to contact a maker and request their logo and send it over to me, you know I will make it :)

-Gary

[Mattsshack]

How do I access these files to look at them... The link asks for a password... :)

[power]

Gary,

let us know which logos you need and i'm sure the forum community will pull together and lend a hand. Maybe post them here?

[power]

ok next step for me is some nice 8x10 frames in bulk. We have a source and have to check pricing first but some of the lots on Ebay look pretty appealing. 4-6 frames ranging from $6-$30 for the lots. Not bad if you buy in bulk. I will make up a dozen or so of Gary's logos for my theater so i'll need a dozen frames for them.

If anyone can point us to a good buy please share your source with us:)

[steve053]

Gary-

Thank you for giving me access to your ftp and your awesome artwork. Very cool.

If I may, I have a few suggestions for logos:

- Onkyo
- Harmony
- Phillips

I think I may have to donate as these are A#1 in my book.

Thanks agian.

Steve053

[Gary Murrell]

thanks Steve, appreciate the feedback

Power I will put together a list I am having trouble with

guys the #1 biggie I am having trouble with is SVS, this one is really needed too :(

the frames I like are a nice simple small black, called the Format Frame by MCS:

http://www.archivalusa.com/ff81.html

if people are putting my work in their theaters that would be very flattering and I would love to see it ;)

thanks guys

-Gary

[nick2003]

Those are some nice looking frames, The only thing that worry's me is there second choice thing, What if you order like 12 and find out half of them are out of stock in the color you wanted then they don't match.

[nick2003]

Gary: Have you thought about making signs up from movie studio logos? Might be cool.

[Gary Murrell]

that can be done also guys very easily, I will start on that soon

keep em coming ;)

-Gary

[meariesguy]

Got my password. Thanks for the site Gary. As a semi-literate computer guy, how do I get logo's from website to hanging on my wall. Would appreciate steps to download, format and where to get printed.
Thanks,

Elliot

[nick2003]

Meariesguy: To download right click and save as or whatever save options you have for your browser. If you have a walmart close to you i think you can go right on there website and send them to the store then pick up. Alot of other stores like pharmacy's will print them also but im not sure about the online feature.

[meariesguy]

So you don't need to format the size? It will print the proper proportion?

[nick2003]

Yeah the only thing you half to do is select 8by10 where you print it.

[Gary Murrell]

my logos are made to 100% exact 10x8 porportions at 300DPI, no scaling or etc.
put them on a CD head to photo studio and print them as 8x10's

-Gary

[meariesguy]

Thanks for info.

[nick2003]

Did you get my pm Gary?

[Taiser]

Thanks for the access Gary.

Anybody make a request for "Infocus" yet, didn't notice it yet in the thread :D

[typh92]

Nice signs Gary.

How about Definitive Technology? The others I would like have already been requested.

[mheadroom]

Gary,

Not my best work but should be okay for you.

SVS LOGO (http://www.tinstudio.com/logos/SVS.png)

Let me know after you grab it.

[mheadroom]

oh and Gray, I'm not sure if you are still storing these as BMPs but you should really just save them as JPG at 100%. This will significantly reduce filesize without any noticable artifacting.

[CollinViegas]

Gary are you still going to be making the

THX Ultra 2, Dolby True HD, DTS Master Audio, HD DVD & Bluray Signs?

[outsider142000]

Not sure if these have been requested, but how about....

Ascend Acoustics
Outlaw Audio

[MarkH]

Regarding getting glossy photo paper for printing these at home, whats is the official "paper" size required (like A3, A4, B5 etc?). Looking in Photoshop, I dont see a 10x8 size as standard.

[Fyrman]

Those are beautiful! Well done.

PM to follow! ;)

[MarkH]

Gary,
Excellent work. As usual I have some requests meself:-

BenQ

Em, thats it!!!

[sknyfs]

How about adding "Whafedale" (my speakers).

Not sure if you already have
Yamaha (sub)
PS2 , PS3, XBOX 360
infocus

How about a generic "HTPC" logo.
Oh and of course the usual DTS-ES, DD-EX, THX stuff.

PM soon to follow.

[DigitalOBX]

Hey Gary, how about Definitive Tech....Thanks

[Gary Murrell]

I will get to work on more of these soon guys, I have been enjoying my HT so much lately ;)

that SVS should do the trick it is high resolution

the logos are being saved as PNG's

I didn't think this many people would be interested in these, I bet I have answered over 100 Pm's for access :)

-Gary

[power]

Gary,

i probably answered 40-50 pms so very popular indeed. Looking forward to seeing more logos:)

[mheadroom]

gary, if you want i can give you the svs logo as an Ai instead

[Gary Murrell]

Thanks Serge

Guys don't waste Serges good time with the requests :), he is providing the space, send all thoese requests my way

-Gary

[power]

Gary,

i do not mind at all, no problem here.

[sknyfs]

I made a mistake in my request it should be "Wharfedale" ... sorry about that.

[Gary Murrell]

thanks Serge, trying to take some work from you replying to PM's ;)

thanks again for the space

-Gary

[sparrow_69]

Hi Gary

Have you had a chance to take a look at the new requests? tks

[MarkH]

Gary,
Do you have a template as such for creting these images? If so I would be happy to attempt creating some new ones that members are requesting.

[ND23]

Me too! Gary, would you be willing to put your photoshop file(s) on the FTP server?

ND

[themonk]

Hella nice work ... Perhaps a few requests?

Optoma
Da-Lite High Power
Axiom
Nvidia

Monk

[huskerboy]

Hi..Love the signs ..Im planning on getting a Blu-Ray Player and I already own a HDDVD Player and would like to make signs for my Theater room ..Thanks Terry

[tkmedia2]

Gary,
Do you have a template as such for creting these images? If so I would be happy to attempt creating some new ones that members are requesting.

It looks fairy simple for a majority of them, but Gary I hope you know photoshop well enough to script most of the actions properly. If your not doing that it might save a lot of time.

I made some logo signs out of wood before. Krazy but works and fits well for my vintage audo equipment.

[tomes]

Awesome initiative! I'd second the Ascend Acoustics logo would be neat, as well as a HSU research logo! Any chance you can PM me a user/pass to access what you currently have?

Thanks!

-Tom

[sparrow_69]

Anyone else try to make some of these? I don't know the first thing about photoshop, so I really have no idea how time consuming it is

Gary: I transfered you 20USD to your paypal acct for the logos that I am using. Keep up the good work

[MarkH]

Do we know if Gary is working on adding more or has he "moved on"?

[ND23]

Do we know if Gary is working on adding more or has he "moved on"?

<total speculation>Probably moved on</total speculation>...

I was thinking he hadn't been on the AVS site for a while, but I see he's been actively posting in the other forums.

The only way you're going to know is to PM him and get the answer from the source...

[sparrow_69]

I'm assuming he's moved on.

He's been on he regularly, but hasn't posted to this thread in over a month. I sent him 2 pm's regarding the logos, but never heard back.

I guess we're on our own to work on new ones. Could I simply open one of the .png logos with photoshop and write HD-DVD instead of one of the other manuf? I really don't know much about photoshop

[mheadroom]

I'm not sure what Gary finished or not but I threw a few up on tinstudio that i created in case anyone needed any. i could make more as soon as a have a few min.

[sparrow_69]

Nice work! Here's the logo I was talking about in my PM

[CollinViegas]

If someone could do:

Monster
Definitive Technology
Playstation 3

And SMX Soundscreen since Ruben now has a logo that would be great...

[mheadroom]

threw up monster and xbox 360 I try and work on more next week.

[sparrow_69]

Talk about quick! :D

They're real beauties! Tks

[Skers]

Could you do an M&K sign?

[spongeA]

^that would be killer...I want to do an M&K THX sign I think

I may have to just go buy photoshop. I have a really old version on an even older computer.

[mheadroom]

I'm adding the MK now. I'll try and do some more over the cource of the week. If anyone wants to help out and find/create logos in AI or EPS format, that would be cool.

[mheadroom]

BTW, the large versions are avaible to registered users. I had a couple of questions about that =)

[CollinViegas]

Here is a link to the Definitive Technology Logo, if you could make the sign that would be great... Also if anyone can find the Playstation 3 Logo that would be great.

http://www.definitivetech.com/dealersonly/dealersonly.html

[mheadroom]

Put a couple more up. Did I miss any other requests?

[power]

mheadroom,

do tell, where can i find your upped versions?

[mheadroom]

they are posted on tinstudio. You need to register for the full size versions.

[CollinViegas]

Put a couple more up. Did I miss any other requests?

Berkline would be nice...

[mheadroom]

done

[MarkH]

How about a Panasonic Logo?

[power]

looks great!

[spongeA]

they are posted on tinstudio. You need to register for the full size versions.

I hate to sound like a total noob here but 'tinstudio'? And by register you mean pay to be an 'official' member?

[Stew4msu]

I hate to sound like a total noob here but 'tinstudio'?


Check out his signature.

[steve053]

Put a couple more up. Did I miss any other requests?

As long as you asking:

Onkyo
Velodyne
Polk
Philips
Harmony

TIA

Steve

[mheadroom]

TIn studio is the site I created for HT archiving. It was paid for my members of the voiceover project.

It's free to join but you do have to confirm an email address. this is more to keep spiders from downloading the images than anything else.


I hate to sound like a total noob here but 'tinstudio'? And by register you mean pay to be an 'official' member?

[outsider142000]

[power]

where is Gary?

i mean i don't mind all the PMs but i have had quite a few lately...Oh well, if members want access and cannot get ahold of Gary simply PM me instead. I agreed to help out and will continue to do so...

[mheadroom]

Filled your requests. Think I got everything except for accend and harmony.

Can someone find/provide and accend logo in EPS format?

Which Harmony? The remote? If so there is no logo for Harmony, just logitech.

[audiguy1]

How about Optoma? The logos look fantastic!!

[mheadroom]

done

How about Optoma? The logos look fantastic!!

[bqmeister]

Optomo's up? I don't see it.

Did the link change?

[steve053]

Which Harmony? The remote? If so there is no logo for Harmony, just logitech.

WOW! Thank you so much for everything, they look fantastic.

I was thinking about the Harmony 880 remote. You are correct that there is just a logitech logo.

Thanks for all the hard work.

Steve

[mheadroom]

The Talen logo is a real beauty! As always, much appreciated

Has anyone found a decend DTS-HD logo? I'm having trouble finding one.. All I've found is this?

Mrheadroom: is this logo of sufficient quality?

bhorrell,

Done

[sparrow_69]

A few more requests which I'm sure others can benefit from also. I believe the black on gold format works best to match your other great logos :)

Since I can't upload eps or Tiff, here are the location of the logos:

A/R: http://www.rca.com/media/images/1,2644,,00.html?STATE=DISPLAY&p=image&imageID=700212

Why do some sign look smaller (THX)?

[bebop86]

Could you do one for Meridian??

http://www.brandsoftheworld.com/search/?query_id=4487411&page=1&mtype=&brand_id=11915

thanks

[CollinViegas]

If you wouldn't mind could you also come up with a "This Theater Features" Sign?

[mheadroom]

Sorry about the delay. For some reason I was unsubscribed to the thread.

Anyhow, all the requests are done. I made 6 or 7 versions of the "This Theater Features" sign in hopes that it might better match you decor.

Skers,
Since all the logos are sized by hand, some were done smaller. THX and THX ultra 2 have 2 versions. One is smaller than the other. It's a personal preference thing.

[b00bie]

Hi

[sparrow_69]

As always, great work. Tks again. If I can ever be of assistance, don't hesitate :D

[Shan]

Those logos are absolutely awesome. Only one of my components is missing. What are the chances of getting one with a Lumagen logo? http://www.lumagen.com

Thanks!!!!

Shan

[apexmi]

Can someone PLEASE send me the login info so I can look at these. I sent Gary a PM over a week ago and I have not heard back. Thanks...


me as well I would love to checkout the signs......

Thanks
Bob

[mheadroom]

Shan, lumagen is now up

Bob, you have to PM Gary for access to the signs he made. My signs are at Tinstudio.

[Shan]

mrheadroom, you absolutely rock!!! I am thinking about doing a shrine in your honor and sacraficing VHS tapes to it every night.

Would that make you feel uncomfortable? ;)

[SurfHB]

Why can't I see any of the newer signs. I used the link on the 2nd or 3rd post on this thread. They were all last modified back in Sept. Did I mis an updated link or something? Maybe I am just dumb...lol

[b00bie]

Go back to post 181 from mheadroom, he has a link to his site Tin Studio, the latest signs are posted there, if you want the Hi Rez versions you will need to register to gain access to them.


Tom

[mheadroom]

Shan, I'm down but there has to be women throwing tiny pickles too! :D

b00bie,
You rock! Thanks! :cool:

[FoolintheRain]

Just some ideas:

Prismasonic (they make anamorphic lenses)
HiSense (make my HDTV OTA tuner)
USDTV (again, my OTA tuner)
Terk (OTA antennaes)
DCDI by Faroudjia
DVD Audio
SACD
HDCD
CD
DTS-HD (is there one for Master Audio yet?)

Anything like "Widescreen" or Cinemascope...something that show the 3 most popular aspect ratios? Sort of like the panavision thing at the end of movies? Thats sort of cool

The only other question I had is if there is a way to change the gold to silver online somewhere before I download them? I don't mean for you to change them all, but is there a website I can doctor the pics to change the color scheme at, or do I need my own "photoshop" type thing? Just asking! This is great. Thankyou very much!

[SurfHB]

Thanks Boobie!

I registered and got to see what was there. I apprecaite them ALL!!! COOL!!!

[mheadroom]

Posted your requests.

As far as silver goes, the only thing you can do is print them in black and white but I'm not sure how they'll look. The final images are jpgs. The only way I can make them silver is to redo them.

These logos are wonderful, thank you! If you're still considering additions, please consider B&O and Nakamichi. Thanks again, very nice.

[zehnd]

Wow great quality! :eek:

Can you add: Palliser and Express Vu

[mheadroom]

Sorry about the delay Redlinr. Didn't see your request.

Man, you're FAST! Thanks!

[buggdog]

Is there a way to d/l all the large res files at once? I already registered at the site.

[mheadroom]

No there isn't. Sorry. I'm using Gallery in order to discourage downloading them all. The site is my personal site and don't want to get hit with bandwidth overages. I suggest just grabbing what you need.

[buggdog]

ok no problem. Thanks

[Smokeymi30]

I just want to say thanks a lot. You are allowing me to save money for the more important things and still have awesome wall hangings. Thank you.

[Smokeymi30]

One request from me, would it be possible to put Tivo on that list?

[mheadroom]

Done. Sorry about the delay.

[tgaines14]

Just wondering if you could do some av123 stuff.... like "Onix Rockets" (I can never find anyone doing those). Also, what about "Emotiva"? Thanks...

[Smokeymi30]

Mheadroom,

Gracias. It looks awesome. Thanks for all the hard work.

[mheadroom]

Added AV123 related logos

[tgaines14]

You are the man. Thanks a bunch...

[Iceblade]

Here's a new request, Jason....

B&K (unless I am blind and missed it)

Thanks and regs,
Jeff

[Iceblade]

Ditto on the "silver" thing, Fool. I've done everything in my power to banish that gold decor from my home. The wife and I are more into the satin nickel or brushed and polished nickel two-tone thing. If we ask for particular ones to be re-done in silver, would you consider doing that for a modest fee, Jason? Also, I may have missed it, but are you just snagging vector art from places like brandsoftheworld and then photoshopping them with a standard process you have? I've got PHototshop CS2 at home, but haven't fired it up. If it's fairly simple to just tweak the colors, I'd be happy to do my own in different colors or whatever, rather than ask you to do it.

Feel free to smack me if this was already answered as far as the process goes.

Regs,
Jeff

[Shan]

Took my own shot at something a little different. Comments and suggestions for improvement welcome.

Shan

[mheadroom]

As far as siler goes there are 2 options. Create new ones or print them black and white. Not sure how the black and white will look though. You might even try print them on a brashed silver paper.

These were all created as an extension of what Gary originally created, hence the gold.

As far as making new one, I'm kinda swamped right now with work. I may me a ble to do it sometime but it won't be for at least a couple of weeks.

I will also get to the latest requests when I get a sec.

Shan, nice.

Thanks for the continued work on this and the inspiration to play with Photoshop!

[Iceblade]

Jason,

Will you be making the repository of EPS and other vector art files available on Tin Studio.... just so those of us that want to try our hand at doing these ourselves won't have to search the world to find the logos you've already tracked down? I know you are swamped with doing these already and what with the work you'll be doing on the voiceover stuff, yikes. Thanks again for everything you do for this community!

Regs,
Jeff

[jnrock]

Those of you wanting these in other colors and have access to Photoshop can easily change the gold to whatever color you want. Though I used a plugin to get the effect I wanted, you can search for tutorials that will give you a similar look using Photoshops built-in filters.

I think the original gold that mheadroom uses has a clean, classy feel to it. I know that it does not always go with your decor, so I'm just offering up a couple of alternatives that can be made :)

Justin,

Do you mind sharing what plugin you used and what particular effect it had on these two examples that you applied it to?

Thanks,
Jeff

[Shan]

Justin,

I do not know what plugin he used, but both of the affects are pretty stright forward in Photoshop without a plug in. I do not know the steps for chorme off the top of my head (but in CS and CS2, you can do bevel and emboss and use double ring in the gloss method or something like that). The second, brushed metal effect is very simple to achive. You select your object, apply a gradient fill that goes from light to dark and then back to a light gray (or the reverse). Then use the noise filter to add monochromatic noise (I set to 12.5). Then apply the Motion Blur filter to blur the noise to the left with a pixel distance of 75.

When I get home, I can post some simple Chrome instructions, if you need them.

Shan

[jnrock]

Jeff,

I used the Alien Skin Eye Candy 5: Impact plugin for each of the effects, but as Shan stated you don't actually need a plugin to get the same effect. I just used it because I have it and it only takes one click to make it look good. Without the plugin it may take two or three clicks for the brushed aluminum and a few more than that for the chrome. There are plenty of online tutorials on how to to these effects.

These guys (http://www.eyesondesign.net/pshop/chrometext/chrometext.htm) have a good one for chrome and these guys (http://www.photoshopsupport.com/tutorials/cb/aluminum.html) have a good one for brushed aluminum.

If you have any more questions please feel free to ask.

Justin

[Iceblade]

Thanks for all the advice, guys. I JUST bought the Adobe Photoshop CS2 Classroom in a Book, so I haven't even installed the software yet. Like I said... just getting all my ducks in a row before I start diving into this stuff. Thanks again!

Regs,
Jeff

[mheadroom]

I did a bunch of work on the library today.

1. I filled the last 2 requests.

2. I added a new section dedicated to classic moive images. This section is only visible to members.

3. I started prepping my logos so I can automate creation of new versions of the signs. I took some cues from jnrock's brushed sign and threw up some samples. Let me know what you think.

It's going to take a while to get the logos preped because I didn't save all the logos in a easy to use format when I did the first set of signs. I know stuid mistake, it won't happen again. :D

[mheadroom]

i lied. It wan't going to be that long. New alum signs are up. Let me know if they work for you. If not it';; be easy to adjust now.


I'm also going to storay working on color versions of the logo. That once again might be a while.

[Iceblade]

Jason,

Brushed aluminum signs look GREAT! Fantastic job, as usual.

Did you happen to see my request for a B&K logo a couple posts up?

Thanks again!

Regs,
Jeff

[mheadroom]

already there

[Iceblade]

I am blind as a bat, Jason. Please smack me. I think it must have been a browser cache issue because it wasn't there when I checked this morning. Should have hit "refresh". Again... please smack me. :) Thanks, buddy!


Regs,
Jeff

[mheadroom]

no problem. that's one issue I have with Gallery. It seems to cachevery well. I sould go through and set a time ot on the pages. Maybe when I get a free second. HA! Like that'll happen. :D

[Smokeymi30]

Aagghhh...great!. Just when I get ready to go to print, I see the bushed look and stop in my tracks. Which one to choose? choices, choices, choices...Really though, they look great!

[Big Worms]

Awesome work on the brushed aluminum signs! Thanks!

[tomes]

Fantastic signs, thanks!!!!!

[Iceblade]

Anyone happen to stumble across any "Paradigm Reference" or "Hsu Research" vector art logos that they could provide to Jason? Brandsoftheworld.com has zilch and a quick google turned up nada.

Thanks again, Jason, for doing all the great brushed aluminum logos. They look fantastic and I can't wait to figure out how I want to print and/or display them.

Thanks,
Jeff

[Iceblade]

DOH! I see that Jason has a gold version of the Hsu, just no brushed aluminum yet. Jason, is this on your list of things to do... you know, when you aren't chopping giant WAV files into a billion pieces. :)

Thanks,
Jeff

[mheadroom]

Jeff,


I'll ad that to my list. I thought I got them all but I guess I missed a couple. :(

I'll try and have those for you this week.

-Jason

[Rogaine]

WOW, these are awesome. I just happened on this thread and LOVE the look. As a new member to the forum (although I've been viewing for months) I want to reiterate the thank you for making these. They are great.

I noticed that there is a JBL in the Gold signage. Is it possible to do that in the silver? Thanks again.

[Iceblade]

No worries, Jason. I know you said you were on the road. I've got plenty of time, so no rush at all.

Regs,
Jeff

[mheadroom]

WHile I was working on the voiceover stuff i decided to take a break and do up the HSU and JBL signs in silver. they are up there now.

Also, If anyone has anything lese they would like for a background, let me know. As i said i got this automation thing down for most of the signs and it shouldn't be hard to create new sets.

[Iceblade]

Sweet! Thanks, Jason!

Regs,
Jeff

[redlinr]

Would you consider one more request, for the "old style" Klipsch logo that has the initials "PWK" as part of the logo? I have a high-quality .JPG of the logo I could send to you. Thanks.

[fuzzatch]

Very nice work! These images are stunning.

I will post pics of your work hanging on my walls once I get the images framed and mounted.

[mheadroom]

redliner, send it to htvoiceover@gmail.com and I'll put it together for you.

Fuzzatch, glad you like them. I still have to frame mine too.

Jason,

I'm a big fan of the black background images with the lens flare and the reflection, but like Iceblade and FoolintheRain, I have silver accents in my room - not gold. The wife doesn't want me to introduce the gold, so we're excited about the new brushed aluminum background, but then we lose the cool lens flare and reflection.

So, I told her I'd at least ask... would it be possible to get a version where the original black-background-with-lens-flare-and-reflection is retained, but the gold color of the logo and rectangular border is changed from gold to silver? Does your newly-completed automation make this a reasonable request?

Thanks in advance,
ND

[Jay0001]

Jason,

Well, as others have said over and over......wow!

I am wondering if you can help. I can't find logos anywhere for two older formats, but ones I will include in my HT. Beta HiFi and Laser Disk?

Thanks if you can help. I love the black and gold!

Cheers,
Jay

[mheadroom]

ND, the problem with automating a lens flare is that it's in a different position based on the size of the logo. I'm going to play around with a few ideas and see if I can pull something off. I'll let you know how it comes out.

Jay0001,
Shouldn't be a problem. give me a day or 2 and I'll get on it.

[fuzzatch]

I here these images look fantastic when they are printed out, at least according to my wife. I have a little bit of a dilema here. My wife went to the local Walmart to print these images off and they would not allow her to purchase them yet wihout written and signed consent from the original creator :eek:.

Anyway, anybody have any suggestions on how to get these printed out and around the gestapo at the walmart photo center?

To heck with 'em... take your business to Target, Walgreens, Costco, or any of the other various options you may have. If there's truly no other option in town, upload them to snapfish, photoworks, Yahoo! pictures, etc.

Or you could tell Walmart no thanks, then try again in a week and hope someone less strict is working the counter that day.

Good luck!
ND

[mheadroom]

I justuploaded mine to the walmart photocenter and then picked them up at my local walmart later.

[mheadroom]

Uploaded beta-hi-fi and laser disc.

ND,
There's no real way to automate the lens flare so it positions itself correctly. I may give it a wack later and see how long it would take to redo them in silver for ya. I'll let you know.

[ND23]

Thanks Jason.

If you'd like, I could do it for myself, but I'd need your .psd files (assuming you did these in Photoshop).

I'm mainly looking for dts-es, Dolby Digital EX, HDTV, DLP, DCDi-1, InFocus, polkaudio, Sony, and this-theater-1... if you don't feel like doing all of them again.

ND

[Jay0001]

Jason, they look great. Thanks again!

Well, I finally got my images printed. The good folks at Walgreens printed them up for me no questions asked.

I would like to thank mheadroom for making these fantastic looking images and allowing us fellow AVSers to use them. They look even better printed out than they do on screen.

Now to find some frames to put these into. Anybody have any suggestions on what type of frame and were to get them? I will be looking this weekend to see if I can find something.

[mheadroom]

Hey all

I forgot to tell you that i posted new versions of the signs.

These are like the gold but in silver and no flare.

ND these should work for you, just add the flare.
