Thanks, Envoy! Appreciate the comments.
I see you said you made vector graphics logos of the titles--how long did that take you? I'm okay at photoshop, never tried illustrator; big learning curve on that?
There were three steps in my movie logo process: one in Photoshop then Illustrator, then back in Photoshop. First, I'd isolate the logo from the biggest poster I (or Bob) could find, then I'd tweak the settings until it was pure black with white around it. The new high contrast image then went into Illustrator for tracing. I don't remember the exact trace tool setting I used, but I think it was "black and white logo" or something like that. After deleting the unwanted vector data, I'd save the transparent logo as AI and place it into the cover art PSD. Then it was just a matter of color fill, drop shadow, etc. A little tedious, but worked OK. In the cases where a logo wasn't available or wasn't large enough to trace well, I'd approximate with fonts.
Bottom line is that the vector part is very easy if you're dealing with high contrast black and white artwork. Vectorizing a color poster is not likely to give you a logo you can work with.
