Stern Pinball Inc have revamped their website and with new content and an improved design.
Stern's new website
The new site adds sections for media links, a forum, a (limited) diary of pinball events and a number of short blogs alongside a new pinball discussion forum.
Visitors can now register for the company's mailing list, join in a competition to win an Iron Man pinball party and register pinball sightings in a new Where To Play section. The site also links directly to Stern's presence on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
Along with the site comes a new company logo which will feature on Stern's future games and publications.
The new Stern Pinball Logo
Interestingly, the company slogan has changed since our report about the MarsaPlay machines being manufactured in Spain. Out goes "...the only coin-op pinball manufacturer on the planet!" and in comes "The only maker of REAL pinball games on the planet!!"
Thankfully, the technical sections with game software and technical bulletins remains along with sections from the manuals of newer games to help with the troubleshooting.
Stern even issued a press release about their new website although, ironically, at the time of writing it doesn't appear in the Press Releases section of the new site.
So here it is:
June 2, 2010 - Stern Pinball, Inc. is unveiling a brand new company website today, www.sternpinball.com. The website has many new and old features, ones that will excite all users and sellers of Stern’s pinball machines.
The re-designed website offers the following:
- The easy-to-navigate Home Page shows users information on Stern’s newest games, game videos, a Stern Blog, a mailing list, a link to purchase pinball machines, and a connection to Stern on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.
- The Stern website is one of 100,000 sites presently on the web to feature a Facebook ‘like’ option, where you can click the ‘like’ button to demonstrate one’s appreciation of a particular item.
- A Where to Buy option on every page connects operators and consumers with domestic distributors and dealers, as well as international distributors.
- The Where to Play page enables users to find a pinball machine by title and location, as well as add a pinball to the list.
- The Service and Support page helps users to get game code, service bulletins, game manuals, care and maintenance information, as well as a list of parts for older Stern Pinball games.
- The Games page shows Stern’s current production titles with game descriptions, photos, videos of the games, size specs, and more. The Games page also features pinballs that are no longer in production.

Stern Pinball has also created a new logo to better brand the company. The logo has a flipper and a pinball, so as to best explain our product to all customers. The logo was created by Core 12, who also developed the website. They have created logos for companies like Mercedes-Benz and Nike in the past.
Stern Pinball is very excited to present a new website and logo. Stern hopes that our website will become the center of the pinball universe on the Internet for anyone and everyone interested in pinball. |
