[COMMUNITY PROJECT] Developer Logos Database

[stigzler]

All source images to date uploaded to the GameEx FTP Site

There are two folders in there:

Original uploads - This contains 'raw' original source images such as screenshots, boxarts, ads etc.

Final Set - The final set of source images. There had to be a bit of personal choice in this. Very basic editing - cropping, slight up-scaling and some filter application (e.g. HQ4 or something - de-pixelates)

I know the latter won't be to everyone's tastes, but people can always revert to the original images.

In the Final Set folder - there's also a .txt file entitled Progress Log - running log of updates etc...

Hope someone can find a use for it.

Absolutely amazing work you guys! What a fantastic capstone to a remarkable project. Thanks for all of your long hours, hard work, and single minded determination. This will be a great asset to the community.

It would have to be a helluva carrier pigeon to make it to Tennessee!

What part of Tennessee? My wife hope to be vacationing at one of the cabins near Gatlinburg next month.

Knoxville

Based on our travel to St Augustine, you'll be right in our neck of the woods on the way in, and out.

Downtown Knoxville, is experiencing a rebirth, one that doesn't revolve around UT. If you happen to be coming through you might want to catch glimpse of it, Market Square and the neighboring blocks are alive these days. Let me know if you do!

[Draco1962]

Will do! Look for a PM soon. I don't want to take away from the topic.

[greatflash]

Just a quick update.

Attached is the latest list along with a nice an tidy html showing the last list on the left and the new on the right and highlighting the changes.

Any probs. let me know.

(Hopefully I was comparing with the last list I uploaded - but with my senility - who knows? )

Will have to knock aside a few cobwebs a bit on this for sure

As soon as stigzler has time to update the spreadsheet, I'll start hunting!

<edit> I know you got other irons in the fire stigzler, so if you can fix me up on the spread sheet, I'll be happy to do my best to take care of these.

Thanks Flash - and thanks for providing both versions. I'll get on it as so as. Great to see the db being continuously updated too. I know that's a huge and potentially onerous piece of work.

Nice one, tthurman and thanks for the mindfulness around other fire irons As ever, one of life's true contributors.

Place Holder logos moved to temp folder, and posts that contained them deleted.

Ooops. Will update this weekend. Life stuff going on...

[tthurman]

I was snooping around in flash's dif file, and did a couple quick searches, so it wasn't meant to be prodding you or anything. I just linked these few here to save time finding them again.

I prefer your spreadsheet for consistency, but understand life takes priority. If I get going on these, do you want me to put them in a temp folder in dropbox to make things easier to differentiate from the previous work?

[stigzler]

OK. Done. Thanks for the list, flash. The plain txt file works best for integrating into the spreadsheet.

The "Whoa - that's gonna be a tough one" award goes to:

Aleph Publicações e Assessoria Pedagógica Ltda.

Not sure about where to put updates, tthurman. I'm not sure what you can see in your dropbox folder. I've created a sub-folder called Updates and one in that Dec 2014. However, if I recall correctly, I don't think dropbox allows sub-folders for shared folders. Can't get me head round it tonight. Good scores on those ones you've found - good size n nice and clear

Will revisit at some point.

[tthurman]

Thanks stigzler

My permissions don't allow me to see those new dropbox folders. I'll just keep these new ones saved locally so I don't get everything confused with the current clean set until you have some free time to look into it. I'll still link to them in the worksheet though, along with any alternates I find.

Let me know if for some reason this causes you any problems.

Thanks man!

[stigzler]

Good plan - will sort the DB issues in time.

[tthurman]

NOTE:

Majesco, same as Majesco Sales, Majesco Entertainment etc.

I'm linking the most approprate logo to the name here, as these logos seem to follow as the same company made minor changes to there branding.

[tthurman]

Micomsoft and Dempa Shimbunsha are one in the same. Same logo linked saved twice under both names.

Noted in comment for Micomsoft

[tthurman]

DUPE

This was found during previous searches

O~3 Entertainment

[tthurman]

This batch of additions is completed

As always, some couldn't be found, but the vast majority of them are in there.

I stored these on my desktop in a folder "Dec 2014 Logo Updates", and as soon as I finished I copied it into the dropbox root directory without issue.

You should have everything you need for uploading to the server.

[stigzler]

Great job, tthurman. However - not seeing that folder in the dropbox shared folder... Will come back to later as I need to re-arrange all the folder structures, I'm thinking. Will revisit in time.

[tthurman]

Might help if I shared it out

My ignorance showing, I was working with the understanding that since you shared the folder to me, all the contents would be shared to you automagically. Oh well, it was the end of a long day of searching!

I believe I've got it shared it to you now, please check when you can.

[stigzler]

soz tthurman. I haven't forgotten about those new images. Just up to me neck in other projects atm... will come to the top of the list once I've finished this next one... which will, of course, be using all your hard work sourcing those!

[tthurman]

Good deal!

Can you see the updates folder now?

[stigzler]

Hmmm... can't see the updates folder... sorry. Folders do me head in...

Nemmind - got it. Now where the hell was I putting everything!?

[stigzler]

Done - all yer new logos tarted up and uploaded onto the mago site, tthurman. Some good finds in there!
