Can anyone direct me to where I could copy the classic Avengers' "A" symbol from the masthead for a base?
(If this query has been answered elsewhere and I haven't see it, I'm sorry.)
Robert.

Sorry, I'm not sure I understood what you mean.
Are you looking for a way to convert the Avengers' A from picture to writing font, or just for a good picture of the A?

Sorry for being unclear, Shiryu.
I meant the "A" that is used in the masthead of classic Avengers comics. The "A" with the arrow pointing right on the crossbar and with one elongated 'leg'. It's a small sticker on the sides of some of the plastic 'crates' used for the Figure Factory kits and I thought it would be cool to print off the "A" so I can make it a base for a trio of mini-mates (the Big Three, of course). Not sure if that makes sense but I can't think of any other way to explain it...

Heh-- this would be the very same "A" symbol up there in our Avengers Assemble logo, yes?
All copywrite issues aside. . . wouldn't this just be a matter of photo-copying it and reducing it as needed-- like from a comic book cover, or one of those stickers you mentioned? Or heck, it's not even a very tough drafting assignment at all, if you even have some very basic skills and drawing tools. It's all straight lines within a circle. . . (a compass, a straight-edge, a ruler, and a protracter to capture the exact angles. . . ). 'Course you'd still want to reduce it with a copier. . .

Obviously do be careful with the copyright, I believe this logo is TM  |

Thanks for the help, guys.
Humanbelly, I did obviously think of simply photocopying the "A" but I wanted to play about with it so it would fit onto a precut area (a metal disc, basically).
Shiryu, that's perfect. I don't have the time or inclination to start designing it myself so a big thanks. They all look cool. The first looks like it's from the Avengers film, which I can't wait to see.
As for copyright, it's purely for personal use. I have converted the loft and it holds all my comics and comic-related stuff. Hardly anyone even goes up there but me! My mini-mates fall over a lot so I thought I'd cut a base and then stick an Avengers "A" on it.

Yes, I daresay you may have sequestered yourself beyond even the frightening reach of Disney's relentless copyright bloodhounds! (O' course, one never knows when one might wake up to an angry, tall, dog-like creature pointin' one end of a comically oversized revolver up yer nose, demandin' the illicit goods, eh? Oooooh, I shudder to even think about it--- ;D ;D) HB |

Let me guess: not a Disney fan, HB? (What can I say, I have an instinct for these kinds of things!)
Anyway, as soon as I shake off this blasted cold I've developed in the last twenty-four hours - A cold? In May!?! What's that ALL about?? - I'll print off the symbol for the base.
You guys are clearly more knowledgable than me so I have other questions about the Avengers Communicards and Thor's hammer but they can wait.
Thanks again for the help, folks!
