Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them... paper thread

[LorduDesign]

This is retirement congratulations from MACUSA to McGonagall. Could be a prop from beginning of the film (I assume that film starts in modern times) because we see familiar font used on other props from HP movies - Caslon Antique. Another sign that this is prop is that as wee see in new movie American wizarding community is in the same design timeline so it would explain why there's no aging on that paper...

...but these are just my thoughts. Nothing confirmed.

I just found this site with news on 6 books coming out for the film, 3 coloring books, Art of the Film, Film Wizardry of and Inside the Magic: The Making of.

The 3 books we want come out November 18, the day the film comes out.

Oh! Great Dermot is doing Art of FB book! Will message him if there will be any props shown or just concept art.

I've finished two versions of the MACUSA logo.

The first one is based on the trailer:

Second one is based on the black and white Pottermore version:

@up Awesome!!

TB-7021, excellent logos! I did notice one minor error on the color MACUSA logo, the eye of the Phoenix should be the light blue/blue gray color as in the wings, not white.

 

[TB-7021]

Thanks! I missed that detail, changed it right away.

 

[AZSneed]

Thanks for the updated logo.

I was looking at the different MOM stamps/logos and wondering what would some different MACUSA's would look like for maybe an ID card.
So here is my idea, what do you think?

 

[AZSneed]

This is my take on what an MACUSA Identity Card might look like. This only the outer cover, have not worked on the inside.

 

[LorduDesign]

I will start working on mine pretty soon!
I feel like it should feel more like real American passport with guilloches and security stuff (that's what I'll do).
Btw Good work, I like the colors you used!

 

[AZSneed]

Thanks! I look forward to seeing yours.

I know it's stating the obvious somewhat, but the passport appears to be a standard British passport from the era. Even from the screenshot, the crest appears to be the right shape and size.

 

[LorduDesign]

Yes, in the film Newt (main character) will carry a British passport from 1920s but as they've done for Harry Potter franchise we do hope they will know, create passport/ID card for a magical institution - here MACUSA, in Harry Potter Ministry of Magic.

Has anyone been able to identify the folded map above the New York City map? The boundaries could be states or countries or counties (if it's a map of the UK). Two locations are circled in red, possibly the locations will be referenced in the movie.

I'm trying to make out the name but all I can see is "L A ? O K ? T E"

Looks like the city of Leicester in the centre, and Nottingham at the top.

Perfect. Thanks
