Scream!: Unused Logo, Banners, etc.

Related to the Scream! posts on The 7th and Last blog.
I mocked up quite a few variations of the Scream! logo for posts on The 7th and Last blog. The images weren't used, in the end — at time of writing, anyhow — but there's no reason to leave them collecting virtual cobwebs in a folder, alongside the hundreds of other unused things from dozens of other posts. It's a wonderfully nostalgic logo. Maybe they'll be of use to someone.

Cadbury's The Transformers Card Game (1986)

Cadbury's The Transformers Card Game (1986)
Promotional Game by Waddingtons Games Ltd for Cadbury's

I don't recall how I came to own the Cadbury's TF Card Game. I was a chocolate eater at the time, so it may have been a token collect thing, or it may have been another jumble sale purchase. The memory of it is lost to time.

The packaging is a simple cardboard wallet inside which are housed 30 cards. The wallet measures approx 90 x 120 mm. The cards are approx 57 x 87 mm.

In addition to 2 instruction cards (see below), there are 7 unique card designs: 4 Autobot + 3 Decepticon (also below). Each of the 7 designs are reproduced 4 times for a total of 30 cards. The objective is to obtain all 4 cards of any one design, so there being more 'Heroic' than 'Evil' characters doesn't unbalance gameplay at all.
