Logo Card Type
This card design was created by CollinHeist.
The Logo card is a variation of the Standard title card built around a central logo, with the episode title along the bottom edge and season or episode index text near the lower center. It is intended for very spoiler-sensitive series (for example, reality TV), where showing a traditional image may give away too much.
The background can be a solid color or a blurred/styled Source Image. If you use a background image, an Art Unwatched or Watched style is recommended.
Background
Solid color
When Background Image Enabling is off, the card is
drawn on a flat color. Set the Background Color extra (background) to any
valid color string. It is ignored when a background image is used.
Example
Background image
Set Background Image Enabling to True to use the Series Source Image as the
background (resized like other cards).
Example
Blurring
If blurring is enabled (via the watched or unwatched style), then the background
image/color will be blurred. If the Blur Image Only extra is set to True
then the logo will not be blurred.
Example
Logo File
Every Logo card requires a logo image. TCM composites it near the top center, scaled to fit within maximum width and height bounds (then scaled again by Logo Size).
Logo size
The Logo Size extra scales the logo relative to the card’s internal maximum dimensions.
Example
Horizontal shift
The Logo Horizontal Shift extra moves the logo horizontally. Positive values shift the logo left; negative values shift it right.
Example
Vertical shift
The Logo Vertical Shift extra moves the logo vertically. Positive values shift the logo down; negative values shift it up.
Example
Episode Text
Unless stated otherwise, “episode text” refers to both season and episode strings and how they are composed together.
Color
The Episode Text Color extra sets the fill used for the visible season and episode text (after the dark outline pass).
Example
Font Size
The Episode Text Font Size extra scales the index text. Like other font size
extras, values greater than 1.0 increase size and values below
1.0 decrease it.
Example
Vertical shift
The Episode Text Vertical Shift extra nudges the combined index text up or down.
Example
Separator Character
When both season and episode text are shown, they are separated by the Separator Character extra.
Example
Title Text
Title text uses your configured Font settings. The Stroke Text Color extra controls the color of the wide stroke drawn behind the title for contrast.
Example
Gradient Overlay
A gradient image can be composited over the background (and logo) before text is
drawn to keep titles readable on bright frames. The Gradient Omission extra
skips that overlay when True.
On background images, turning the gradient off can make text harder to read on bright scenes.
Example (gradient omitted)
Mask images
This card supports mask images. TCM searches next
to the source_file path for episode-specific or generic mask files and
composites them near the end of the pipeline.
Blur and grayscale
Mask overlays are not applied when the card is created with blur or grayscale styling enabled (same behavior as other card types using the shared mask helper).
