TransformersMovie.com now Mentions DOTM

Oh yeah! The title has grown on me a bit and the title even looks cool! With that big picture of the moon within the words!

It's an astrological phrase.

The dark of the Moon is the most powerful time psychically. It seems to lure us toward the deepest self, the longings of the soul, and restful listening is a great way to receive these messages. It's been compared to the dormant seed under the winter snow, or the cocoon holding the butterfly. You might feel tired, or crave quiet solitude. It's important to make space for the unfolding of the spirit at this time. Like death itself, it's preparation for the new beginning that begins with the crescent.

The Dark of the Moon is a time of allowing the previous lunar cycle to fade to black. It's a time of inner stillness and wrapping up when we function on emotion and inner knowing regarding what needs to happen (if anything) to complete the lunar cycle and prepare for the New Moon. With the connections to Mercury, Uranus and Aquarius, we are preparing intellectually, emotionally and physically for the changes up ahead. It's a busy Dark of the Moon, but in Taurus, it should have a nice, sensuous feel. All in good time. Kick back and let this cycle wrap up as it will.

Dark of the Moon - Another name given to the new moon.

I like it.

I like it! The logo looks cool with the moon in the background.

The subtitle sounded a little cumbersome to me at first, but it's growing on me. It's different and has a slightly sinister sound to it.

Epic win! How did you get the 'S' and 'I'? Minimise and splice from the main title letters?

I used a Transformers font I downloaded aages ago (just did a quick search, you can get it here), so I used the font, and retyped the whole thing, no hackery of the existing text required, experience has told me that it never usually works out that well!

The only problem with this is that the font inst as wide as the font they used in the original image so I scaled the width of it, a bit brutal, but it got the job done. Added a bevel effect and a gradient overlay, and it looks passable as the original. If you PM me, I can send you the original PSD if you're curious!

EDIT:- I used Photoshop CS4 btw...

The 30th of June 2011 is a Thursday in Australia, so I guess that's why we are getting it a day earlier over here.

Movies usually open on a Thursday here? Or Wednesday midnight? That's right isn't Burn?

China and Japan get ripped off tho! Do they figure it will be bootlegged in those countries long before that date anyway? Curious...

Ah nice process...And thanks! I'd probably be chopping away at the ROTF & DOTM subtitles on Paint for hours! But well done there, your splice is saved and approved!
