Welcome
Hello there! You found my sandbox.

Revamps

 * BBFC article with tabular format for cert symbols and descriptions section of a bumper, with said symbols displayed as graphics instead of text

Wild mass guessing / personal concepts
Caution: everything here is pure speculation only. These things may not happen at all. I hereby apologize in advance.
 * Motion Picture Association's 100th anniversary in 2022
 * Anniversary logo concepts:
 * "100" with "1" in a bold serif font, the two zeroes being the oval MPPDA and MPAA seals; the stylized number is placed above the current MPA logo, and "1922-2022" below the "MPA".
 * "100" just like the foregoing, but the zeroes are now film reels, the MPA logo is in a bordered box, and the "1" is still placed to the left of the zeroes but outside the box. To the right of a box is a left-pointing triangle with a white border, forming a film projector out of the film reels, the box with the MPA logo inside, and the triangle. Under all this may the "1922-2022" text be placed.
 * "Throwback" bumpers (a la the BBFC's 100th anniversary Retro Cards for 2012), with the current rating graphics being used, all text (except those on the rating graphics) being in Gotham and the MPA 100th anniversary logo replacing the standard MPA logo:
 * January-March (1934-1935 "Production Code Seal of Approval" throwback):
 * Same as the 2019-present MPA rating bumper, but on a dark grey BG with a lighter but still dark MPA globe logo (a la the 2018-present MPA trailer bumper) beneath the white text, emulating the large MPPDA seal shown in the 1934 bumper.
 * Also, "Certifcate No. 5XXXX" appears on the bottom right of the screen in Gotham Bold and in uppercase.
 * April-June (1968-1970 "GMRX" throwback): Same as the 1968-1970 bumper, but as a HD and widescreen remake. The following are changed:
 * The yellow (foreground) and blue (background) shades are the closest possible match.
 * The URLs are also there, in the same position as the standard 2019-present rating bumpers.
 * The upper text is this: "THE MOTION PICTURE CLASSIFICATION AND RATING ADMINISTRATION" (new line) "HAS RATED THIS MOTION PICTURE"
 * July-September (1970-1984 "White Stripe" throwback): Same as the 1970-1984 bumper, but the white stripe is taller to accommodate the current rating graphics (in black), with the URLs on the lower left of the screen, stacked like the 2018-present trailer bumper. Same upper text as the April-June bumper.
 * October-December: Same as the 2019-present bumper but with the MPA 100th anniversary logo instead.
 * New successor to GMRX and Symbols rating adverts:
 * It could start with a montage of moviegoers over the decades, each one showing the MPAA/MPA rating screen of the time and showing an appropriate year caption on the lower-left of the screen:
 * 1934: MPPDA Seal of Approval, certificate number 53 (inside a movie palace)
 * 1969: "GMRX" G rating (drive-in theater, focused on a black man and a white woman inside their car)
 * 1973: "White Stripe" PG rating (multiplex, same couple as the 1969 scene, but the black man has an afro this time)
 * 1986: PG-13 rating of the time (shown on a TV with a VHS player inside a man's house)
 * 2021: 2019-present R rating with current MPA logo (same room as before, but the TV is a flatscreen TV and the man has his own family who have watched the film while practicing social distancing)
 * Announcer: "Over the decades, watching a motion picture is an awesome pastime for Americans. The Motion Picture Association has done a great job in informing American citizens over which movies are suitable for them to watch based on their current age."
 * In a space or synthwave-esque background, the current five ratings (G, PG, PG-13, R, and NC-17) zoom in at a medium speed, in a 3D form via CGI, and in different colors (G = green, PG = gold, PG-13 = orange, R = red, NC-17 = pink).
 * Announcer: "Here are the current film ratings, which have withstood the test of time." (the G rating goes into the center, with the four other ratings "merge" into it)
 * "G: General audiences. All ages admitted." (G rating morphs into PG rating with the appropriate color)
 * "PG. Parental guidance suggested. Some material may not be suitable for children." (PG rating morphs into PG-13 rating with the appropriate color)
 * "PG-13. Parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13." (PG-13 rating morphs into R rating with the appropriate color)
 * "R. Restricted. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian." (R rating morphs into NC-17 rating with the appropriate color)
 * "NC-17. Adults Only. No one 17 and under admitted"
 * Then it fades to a 2019-present R rating bumper with an empty content explanation panel.
 * Announcer: "This is the current look of the Motion Picture Association's film rating bumper. For the PG rating and higher, there is a content descriptor to the right of the rating symbol. It provides further information about why the film is rated like that. As you can see, the seal of the MPA is always there, ensuring that the film that you are watching is rated for an appropriate age level. Why don't we all check out the website links featured here to know more? Stay safe and enjoy the show."
