Title buttons for Foreign Figures gallery

Would someone please make me some of those title buttons (the ones found everywhere on the site with a blue background)

I’d like them to have the following titles:

Rainbow Toys (logo 1)
Rainbow Toys (logo 2)
Toy Options
Grand Jouets
Childbro
Glasslite
Playful
Mac Play
LJN Germany

and in place of the cats symbol on the left of the buttons, can this be replaced with the company logos for each of the 9 I’ve listed above?

The 9 logos can be found here: www.thundercatslair.org/staff/neil/logos

So far I have the Glasslite, Playful and Mac Play logos uploaded. I will prepare and upload the other 6 logos by the end of this evening.

These button are for the Foreign Figures Gallery!

Once I have that up and running, only the Thundercats at US Retail article to put together and then all my pre-planned stuff is up! :slight_smile: I’ll have to come up with some more ideas then! lol

Neil I’ll get on those before I go away this weekend. Ill have to do some manipulating to put their respective logos but it should be fairly easy.

Sorry for the back to back posts but the title tags are a little more than my basic photoshop skilss could handle. The logos instead of the cat symbol is more than I can handle :(. However if Kyle could take on this that would be great. Sorry for not coming thru but my intent was there and with me going away for the weekend it may be better for someone with more skills in photoshop to do these. I think that Kyle could probably do them fairly quickly. Here’s what I did:

I do have a suggestion and that is to post a bigger image of the logos rather than trying to fit them on the title tags. After all if Im not mistaken you may be writing a paragraph or two on each company? If thats the case it may be better to display a large image rather than a small one the size of the tags. Just my 2 cents FWIW

If I could just chime in…Manny, do you think you could make the text all capital? All the other tags have capitalized text on them. Hope you don’t get upset about the nitpick.

Sure I didnt notice they are all in caps on the other ones. Guess thats what happens when youre used to seeing them. I’ll try to get to it ASAP. thanks for pointing that out Manny.Here’s in caps:

Those are brilliant Manny! Unfortunately I didn’t get around to sorting out all the logos. Once I do have them all uploaded I will contact Kyle to see if he can help.

They look great Manny! :slight_smile:

Unfortunately I didn’t manage to get all the scans I needed for the logos done until today. However I now have all the logos I need uploaded into that specified folder :slight_smile:

I wondered if someone can make a change to one of the buttons posted up above? I need the button entitled ‘LJN Germany’ changing to: European LJN

After that I just need the logos adding in. I thought about keeping the cats symbol on the left and then having the logos at around the same size as the cats Symbol on the far right of the button. What does everyone think of this?

Or am I best ditching the cats symbol and having the logos pasted over the cats symbol on the left?

How about instead of European LJN maybe LJN Europe. If you look at the grade sticker for Stinger ( http://www.thundercatslair.org/toys/afafigures/stinger/images/sticker.jpg ) you can notice that AFA denominated it LJN Toys Europe rather than European LJN. Just my 2 cents, I think it sounds better as LJN Europe. Here they are:

Thanks Manny!

Though can I be a pain and ask for another change? :oops:

Can you change ‘Grand Jouets’ to Grand Toys?

Again sorry for messing you about Manny and oh and yeah I agree about LJN Europe :slight_smile:

Here’s the tag. However I do think that it would be best to leave it as Grand Jouets sincet hat is the official brand name rather than Grand Toys. I may be wrong on that one though. Either way the tag is below so you can choose either or. I just dont want people to be confused and think Grand Toys is something else

Thanks Manny!

Here is what I came up with for the Foreign Figures index page:

www.thundercatslair.org/toys/foreign1.html

Looking good Neil!!!. I do think though that maybe there could be an introductory paragraph below Foreign Figures Galleries so it doesnt go staright into the tags. Another thing that I think might’ve been overlooked from what i noticed is that Otto Simon doesnt have a tag likethe other ones do. Do you want me to make one? If so here it is:

Yep that is the plan. I was too lazy to write something though when I made that page and it was getting late too. I should have the paragraph written and inserted in time for the end of February update :slight_smile:

As far as I’m aware ‘Otto Simon’ headed cards do not exist. From the info I have, I believe they only helped distribute Euro LJN and Childbro carded figures. I just stuck the Otto Simon logo on that montage as it appears on the Childbro card backs.
