These were done by one of the Council members who has elected to discontinue the service.

Hi Jase...
good to see you here...
I don't have any photoshop skills either... that is something that is becoming more and more needed...

Yes, alas, by the time I was elected to join, they had been discontinued...sigh!
I've always wanted to work with Photoshop, but have always felt it's a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it can be used for good, like with the creation of these snazzy signature bars. But, on the other hand, it can be abused, where people post stuff on the Internet and claim it as "real", when, in fact, it's a Photoshopped...photo...lol! That's always....
...wait a minute...did I just equate Photoshop to the Force?!
Anyway, that's always irked me to no end, though, how some yahoo will start circulating something on the Net, swearing up and down that it's real, and it's nothing but a touched-up pic. I may not be much with the Photoshop, but I've learned to do some interesting things with, if you can believe it, Microsoft Paint.
Yes, you heard me. Paint.
It's an extremely rudimentary graphics program, but, with enough time and energy, I promise you, you can draw or touch up just about anything with it. Now, of course, I'm not saying one would be able to create a signature bar with Paint, but I'm sure there's something out there that's almost as good as Photoshop that could be used to create a signature bar...maybe.
Well, anyway, good luck, and may the Photoshop be with you....

My son is very good with Paint. Even my husband is better than I am. I can do very simple things, but nothing elaborate and it takes me forever

Yes, it's definitely better to work on more simplistic designs and whatnot with Paint...I was by no means suggesting someone try and make their own signature banner with Paint! Lol! In the words of George Takei, "oh, my!" Can you imagine? I mean, it's great if you want to make, say, an empty square or right triangle. But anything as complex as a signature banner? HAHAHA!!! I chortle at the idea...ahhh....
Over the years, I've managed to become quite good with Paint, but, like I said, it's excrutiatingly rudimentary, and, to call it a "graphics program" is almost a misnomer; it's more like a drawing program....
...ah, well....
May the Force be with you....

Does anyone have the basic Assembly logo used for the banners? I can try to take it apart, it reconstruct it if anyone knows the fonts and such.
Or a brand new one could be made...

With the CO, XO and some of the Council either on their way to Celebration V...or already there...you might want to wait till CV is over...and maybe pm Carol (Cor Al) about signature bars...
we have been looking for someone to take over this project...sadly...I have no photoshop skills...

Mark, why do you need it? Are you volunteering to take over making the sig banners? If so, once Council members return from C5, one has the basics for these.

Oh, Kai, you are a smooth one!!! No Jedi mind tricks on me! ;D
I'm no Photoshop expert or anything like that, but would like to see if I can provide everyone with at least a blank template that they can slap their own information on top of or something like that. If not, you'd think we could come up with something quite similar, or new even, for the banner sigs.

It's just that our agreement with LucasFilm about our logo (which uses THEIR copyrighted art) is that we do not make it, or the art, widely available.

That's no problem. I just wanted to provide our fellow Jedi with at least a template that they can use. I did some blanks up last night, but will hold off on posting them for now.

I am about the same level.... I have photoshop and could find my way around. We really need an expert to do the same quality banners.
