The reason behind my translated image logos was to not to create clutter and make them unneccesary long.
The games already have an English title, true. But they are completely different from the kanji one. I'm sure I'm not the only fan who likes to know what both titles say, right there in the game, without going to an external source like THWiki. Unless the purpose of the kanji is specifically not to know what it says for western fans, but I find that hard to believe.
After all we're a translation group, so why is the only content we choose not to translate the titles, eg the face of the game itself?

Anyway, that's my 2c. Take it or leave it.--Splashman (blub) (talk) 20:35, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

Why did you put this here instead of my talk page? Oh well, that's not important.
We are a translation group, that much is true. Doesn't mean we have to translate everything. After all, we're not calling the protagonists "Souldream Esteemedcompanion" or "Marisa Drizzle", right? As I've said, there's already an English title for English speakers, so let's not overcomplicate things unnecessarily.
Changing the subject for a moment, recently I removed a file you've uploaded, namely File:th125-title-logo00.psd. I want to apologize for that one. I've looked into this matter a bit further since then and realized it was a really dumb mistake to delete that file. I've restored it just now, but you should go check if the file still works right and all, since I can't do that myself because I don't have Photoshop. That's all. --Goldenhog (talk) 22:11, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
No harm done, the file seems to be up again.
I think the only downside of the logos would be that they will appear that way for every other language dependent on the English patch, unless they go and edit their own logos.
Anyway, I think this seems to be an issue that requires a group discussion, or maybe even a fan poll. But for now I'm fine with leaving them in their original format. As long as nobody touches my German logos :P

More discussion over here: File_talk:lang_en-th15-title-title_logo.png (should we move it to a separate page altogether?) --Splashman (blub) (talk) 18:18, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

New font

Thanks for giving the title font an update, looks much nicer this way.
But I'm not sure about the ruby text. I already tried it myself and couldn't find any way to make it look nice, so I just let them be for all titles.--Splashman (blub) (talk) 03:01, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

Ta for the comment, it's much appreciated :)
But yeah, I agree with the rubying. I'm thinking of placing each romaji in different places rather than having them lined up across the logo. I'm also thinking of having it designed similar to the kanji. ― Tony (Talk/Con.) 14:06, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
