Have you ever wanted to add that professional touch to your film/movie trailer/movie poster/DVD cover? Below are a few resources for fonts, logos, and box art templates you can use in your project and increase its production value.

DVD and CD Logos from Discmakers
DVD/Box Art templates
CD/DVD templates

The following TrueType fonts are from TracerTong.com, an excellent resource.
Movie Credits Font (used above) - Steel Tongs Download
Movie Credits Font - Top Billing Download
Movie Credits Font - Pliskin Download
Movie Credits Font - Universal Accreditation Download
Game Logos Download
Filmstrip Font Download

Update: To install TrueType fonts on OS X simply unpack the .rar or .zip file and drag it to your font book. If you have problems decompressing it, check out UnRarX.

And if you are looking for some other fonts, the best place to go is BetterFonts.com and they have a couple of Movie fonts.

Know of other resources? Let me know and I'll add them to the list.

4. terin: Just rename the files from filename.rar.txt to filename.rar. Then you can decompress them with StuffIt Expander.

5. PC True Type Fonts will work fine on a Mac OSX machine. After all, the entire name of the technology is "Apple True Type". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrueType).
