About This File
Started a project a while ago to create a complete set of stylistically coherent banners. And when I say complete i mean complete. I used the LB platform list as a starting point and branched out from there, covering every platform I could think of, and made a few up for my own use. I went with a "nebula" style background since it seems like that's what kids are into these days and searched for high quality assets. Obviously this means the starting point was Evan Amos's photos and THK's logos, but I used many other sources as well and quite a few of the logos were just not available in decent quality online so I actually made a bunch of both company and platform logos by hand.
This collection is US centric so American names and images are given priority above international counterparts. I'm already working on a set of Euro-centric banners though, so don't feel left out. After that I might begin working on a Japanese-centric set if I feel up to it. We shall see. Comments and advice are more than welcome. If you notice any glaring mistakes or omissions, please don't hesitate to point them out. These are actually pretty easy to edit and replace. Suggestions on changes needed for the European set are also quite welcome. Anything outside of the obvious (Mega Drive, blue swirl for Dreamcast, different SNES, different Vectrex logo, different 7800 controllers, etc.) is something that I'm likely to miss. I'm aware that not every one of these platforms is emulated yet but I'm less concerned with that and more concerned with getting as many platforms included as possible. Please enjoy!

I'm not dead yet!
Well I guess now that the PS5 and XBSX|S are a thing I should roll out a new update. In addition to next gen consoles I'm also including some older and more obscure computers as well as some platforms I should be embarassed for not including in earlier versions.
Microsoft's branding confuses me. There's the Series S and Series X, but those are the models. The two are collectively referred to as the Series X|S, but when you look at the game boxes they just say "XBOX". I feel like this is a bit of a naming nightmare, especially considering that the Series S is technically the baseline console and the Series X is the "Pro" version, much like the Xbox One X. I hope someone fires that marketting team. Since I couldn't honestly decide I went with three separate banners. One for the XBSS, one for the XBSX and one for the XBSX|S. Decide for yourself which one is appropriate when the emulators show up in a few years.

I have officially lost count of the total number of platforms represented but PLEASE if you want something included just message me. You might think I've run out of platforms to cover but nope, I've actually always had a to-do list. Hopefully the next update will take less than 2 years.
Another update!!
I went ahead and made a Japanese set of banners. Like the European one, this is a set of substitutes to use in place of the US versions. You'll still need the main one for the master list, though. But wait! There's more! I also added 12 new platforms (and gave one an alternate banner). This brings the total number of banners to 286. But wait! There's more! I also updated the European banners to include the new platforms and I added the updated Game Gear US banner like I forgot to do the first time. D'oh!
As of now I'm not sure what else I could add so I'll be putting the project on the back burner. But please, if you've got any suggestions, just message me. I hope this won't be my last update.

UPDATE!
This is the new version of the Nebula Banners set which includes a few more platforms and also a separate set of replacement images for European versions of platforms! That's right, PALs, you no longer have to look at North American versions of platforms that don't match your nostalgia! I'm still striving for completion and would love to know about any corrections or additions needed.
What's new:
Changes:
Changed the Game Gear's logo to match the early US/C version. The logo on the unit itself is the same in all 3 territories but I want to give each region its own banner.
New Platforms:
Arcade - Cinematronics
Arcade - Eighting/Raizing
Arcade - Jaleco
Arcade - Nichibutsu
Arcade - Psikyo
Arcade - SNK (that's right, playlist to include pre-Neo Geo games)
