Pow! HEADSHOT! Remi is powerless to stop me. 👕 I beat #MojoleXtreme #397 and all I got was this stupid t-shirt. 1/6 💚💚💚💚💚💚 https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Mojole/

"Disney left us with a whole lot of creative freedom, but decided on the logo design for us". Sounds familiar ... 😇 I'm actually undecided on this. They use the font, they have the sort of cheesy gradient that suggests the flames. It's just that they don't use overlapping letters and the clunky shadows we're all used to so much. In any case, I appreciate that what we have here is a traditionally painted poster. For the most part at least – artist Tony Stella works in much the same way that Drew Struzan was forced to work in for Crystal Skull (an experience that directly led him to retire). These are a number of individual traditional paintings chopped up and pasted together digitally. I never really liked those posters that try to put in a gazillion characters, and don't really show what the movie is about. The poster kind of stepped into both these traps. And Disney really doesn't need to worry about spoilers any longer. We have a pretty clear picture of what the dial of destiny does at this point. I love the strong red splash with its orange and grey accents. I love how for once Disney doesn't do photorealism and goes for the strong abstraction. I love how basically one sixth of the entire illustration is Indy's whip, painted with just a few brush strokes. It's so iconic, there's no need for more. Last week I fell into the trap of reading some of the more deplorable 'news' about the movie, and it was so full of forced negativity and in some cases pathetic theories sold as utter truth ("This youtuber who's wrong all the time heard this rumor but won't tell us where so let's write a 700 word article about that"). And I thought, damn, I need the mojo forum back now.

Same, I've been holding off till the forums were back up so I could make sure we were synced! So I've still only read chapter 9, I'll wait until you update the thread title before moving onto 10.

Man that poster would look much better with some version of the original logo.
