Clear Logo Translation Project

[smashingblarghargharg]

Hello,

I've begun work on translating all Japanese Clear Logo's for games that have a fan-translation available in English. All of these have already been submitted to the db. Scrape any jp-en games in your library featured in these posts and you'll notice it now has an English logo that is a very close match to the Japanese version. I tried my best to strictly adhere to the style of the original logo unless a more modern version of that logo exists -- in which case, I'll opt for the modern logo. 

As I complete systems, I will update these posts. If you notice one missing, please let me know and I'll get it done. When I feel like I've gotten a system more or less complete, I'll attach a zip file in this 1st post.

Please check my suggestion here: https://feedback.launchbox-app.com/p/optional-showcase-for-submittedapproved-media

My suggestion is that Launchbox allow for a Showcase page where people who create media can optionally have a page to display all their work. This would make it easier for artists to collaborate on projects like this one. Please give it an upvote/comment if you think it's a good idea. I'd love to show off all my submissions and give others a chance to do the same.

Enjoy!

Post update, added suggestion link

If you're reading this and perform mod tasks for Launchbox, I have two questions for you:

1) What region is preferred when submitting translated jp-en Clear Logo's? I've been choosing USA for everything but now that I think about it, maybe I should have been choosing world. There seems to be a single rejection on every single one of my submissions which makes me think it's just one dude getting really pissed off about my choice of region.

2) What resolution is preferred? Obviously we don't want 5 MB clear logo's but also we don't want 400-600px width because they look real ugly blown up.

Excellent quality, maybe add a zip file with the logos in on your posts ? 👍

Famicom Disk System (In-Progress, 1 more to go. Should be done by tomorrow. After I'm done I'll add the improved logos by @launchretrogirl2562)

Thanks! I will definitely do so as soon as I have more systems complete. Soon as I get to a point where I feel like some of these are completely done, I'll edit my first post with a bunch of zips for each system completed.

Great Work !!!

I contacted @smashingblarghargharg and asked if there was any objection into me contributing and improving on some of the logo's he already made. There wasn't.
So from time to time I will also contribute some improvements on the above posted clear logo's.

First two where I saw improvements could be made:

Famicom Disk System

To add this this, I welcome all to participate. If you find room for improvement or find fan-translated games that need a logo, feel free to post your submissions/requests in this thread.

I'll try my best to update the combined posts above with your contributions and add a credit below the image so people will know who made it. 

At some point if this project grows beyond my capability to manage new submissions in the original posts, we'll figure something else out... But honestly I hope it does! I would love to see a bunch of artists creating translated logos for fan-translated games in multiple languages.

I'll make a feature submission for Launchbox DB to add a region tag specifically for fan translations or maybe a language tag and update when it gets posted.

I really don't like the English version of the 'Relics: The Dark Fortress' logo that I submitted. I couldn't figure out how to replicate the style of the Japanese logo (the effect/technique is called "one point perspective")

Can someone else give it a try?
