The files are named to display the animations only for years ranges in the brackets, but can be renamed to display for all years if that is preferred. As always with these things keep the ones you want, delete what you don't!. To display the animations in PinballX make sure you're up to date and have Show Additional Detail enabled under General settings in Settings.exe. If you display company logos as wheel overlay images (Settings.exe->Generel Settings->Wheel Overlay Images option) the gif images will not display correctly in the wheel. Copy a static png logo image with same file/company name as the gif back to the company logos folder (that file will be used for the overlay, with the gif displayed in Additional Detail area), or disable the wheel overlay option. The animations need PinballX V4.84 or later to work. If the logo's aren't being used / picked up by PinballX please check your database table entry Manufacturer name, the company name should match the name of the file, if it doesn't change the name of file or update the manufacturer info for those table(s).

I spent a bit of time searching for 128*32 company logos and didn't have too much luck, most larger images don't downscale very well. So here's a bunch i either found, converted or made. Probably best used for real dmd images, but i used as a base image for converting / upscaling to 1280*320 with a dot overlay for virtual DMD use without getting blurred colours. Hope they're of use to someone else.. If anyone has any more then please post them here, thanks. Edit - added a few more, bit of artistic license here and there, the newer stern logo might be more authentic without the grey loop (easy enough to edit out) and Taito is the style as used on aprons rather than company logo

New Stern logo to be used with tables from August, 2010 and later (Avatar). I extracted a vector-based logo from a Star Trek Pro manual and color matched to the logo on the Stern website. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/any-graphic-designers-who-can-vector-a-stern-logo Old D. Gottlieb & Co logo to be used on tables prior to December, 1980 (before Asteroid Annie and the Aliens and Timeline). SVG- based logo on Wikipedia. Made background transparent and ensured the color from the original graphic was preserved and made opaque. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gottlieb_old_logo.svg Of course, if you are using multiple logos from the same manufacturer you will need to give them unique names which will then impact the default manufacturer filters. On my setup I disable Default Filters so that my menu will not have too many items. Sources will be on the FTP under Other Uploads/Carny

So I have been working vigorously to get my cabinet set up as completely as possible. I have been going through and removing duplicate tables and trying to make sure I have all media - wheel images, flyers, company logos. And the latter is where I'm suddenly having an issue. I decided that I wanted to be as thorough and exacting as possible, so instead of just having a single company logo for each manufacturer I have logos corresponding to the specific time period that the machine was created. I differentiate them by giving them unique names. The following are some examples. Bally Bally Manufacturing Company / Bally Manufacturing Corporation / Bally Midway Manufacturing Company / Bally Midway Manufacturing Company Gottlieb D. Gottlieb and Company (Gottlieb) / D. Gottlieb and Company, Columbia Pictures / D. Gottlieb and Company / Premier Technology (Gottlieb) Stern Stern Electronics, Incorporated / Stern Pinball, Incorporated / Stern Pinball Williams Williams Electronics Games, Incorporated / Williams Electronics Manufacturing Company / Williams Electronics, Incorporated This was working in my cabinet for a while but then out of the blue certain manufacturers would show me the "No Image" logo. This may have happened after a program update, but I'm not completely sure. However a computer that I had a a different location for testing and setup while away from the cabinet continued to display the images properly. That is until last night when I updated to PinballX 2.50. Now I'm having the same issue. The strange thing is that my old PinballX.ini which I saved previous to the last update doesn't really appear to have any different settings than the new one (at least not settings that should affect logo display). What's even stranger is that some of the logos still display fine. For instance the Bally and Gottlieb sets seem to all display, while the Stern and Williams don't. Because of this, I can't see a common thread that could be causing the problem. I originally thought that maybe the names were not unique enough, but that would seem to be a problem with the Bally and Gottlieb images if that were the case. I also thought maybe PinballX was having a problem with the commas in the names, but again, some of the Gottlieb files work fine with commas. When this first happened on the cabinet, I tried shortening the names to abbreviations. I tried SEI and SPI for Stern Electronics Incorporated and Stern Pinball Incorporated and the images still wouldn't display. I'd really like to get this resolved as I have put a lot of time into finding/making the unique company logos and researching to proper logo associated with each machine. I've included a screen shot of my Company Logos folder contents, my PinballX.ini file, and a few screen shot of my database files to show a few tables that are't showing the logos. Thanks, J PinballX.ini
