"Dolby," "DTS," "THX," and other Hi-Res Logos for plaques - and NOW SHOWING stands
Hey all,
A little over a year ago there was a post about where to find Hi-res pics of the abovementioned logos to print for homemade signs. There were some great submissions, but all of the links are bad. I was hoping to revive the topic by asking that people submit pics of their homemade theater plaques, signs, etc -- also, it would help greatly if some people could upload, post, or give links to places where these logos could be obtained. DTS, DOLBY, THX, DVD and any other related logos would be cool...
Also, i know of a lot of people who make their own "Now Showing" stands for their currently playing DVD's -- your logos, ideas, and pictures on the construction of those would be nice as well....
I am particularly looking for a "DVD" Logo to make a plaque out of....
I hope this thread is useful!
Later,
Matt

I know alot of people have printed there own. I ordered the one from DTS a coupld years ago, and waited a couple months to get it. I have also printed my own with my theater name in it for my new theater (not in the pics yet as I have just moved).

I've been looking at all these for a couple years, now. Still haven't a single sign. What do people think? Are the aluminum ones (Stargate or other places) worth 2-10 times more money than plastic or other cheaper signs?
www.showcase-signs.com is another place. They use heavy acrylic, probably at least as solid as the aluminum ones. I gotta try somebody....

Someone over at AVS posted a download for where you can print and make your own. Think I might try it.

Hello...
Weird -- I downloaded the image -- and it opened up in Photoshop. As soon as i tried to enlarge the picture at all, it pixilated terribly... I downloaded it properly as well -- not just copy and paste...

When I opened it in PS7, it asked me to pick a size, then it created a rasterized copy. It doesn't seem to matter what size I pick, they all look perfect, just like Michael said. I think you are enlarging with the wrong tool.

Once you rastorize it that is that. You can't go bigger or it will distort.
.eps is used in Illustrator, Freehand, Corel Draw, and many other programs. It is a "vector" image. Meaning the image is composed of lines and points. A rastor image is composed of pixels that contain color.
If you don't have access to the programs above, do what Spiky said. Pick your size when you open it. After you click "OK" it is sizes and then converts it to a rastor based image. If you try and size it up AFTER cliking "OK" it will distort.

Now I'm playing with it in Paint to put my theater name it. Found some cheap document frames on sale for like $2.00 each with real glass. What a great way to do it on the cheap!
Anyone know if there are any free ware programs that work with .eps? I tried to down load one, but doesn't look like I got any software to open it.

I ordered and paid vis pay-pal on the 30th and have heard nothing. I have e-mailed them twice for them to advise me a status (both were nice e-mails, just asking them how long it generally takes, etc).
I have received a receipt from pay-pal so I know all is ok with that. Was only $20.00 but just wondering...
edit: never mind. the guy e-mailed me and stated he was moving or somthing and my sign should be on the way....
