First Project- San Jose Sharks
opt2not:
Here are a few quick ideas -- a starting point at least:
Keeping with on the same mindset as my canucks cabinet, "less is more" when it comes to sport logos. So I tried tastefully using the icons around the cabinet. IMO, a few logos would go a long way, so I threw the sharks main logo on the sides...and the SJ logo on the front for the CP.
I tried a solid teal cabinet , but it looked too boring and a bit hard on the eyes for this cabinet shape. All black looks "ok", but again, a bit too mundane. So I tried the two tone look, which I think is working better.
The black sides, and teal front parts is my favourite out of the three.
Kinda reminds me of the old (and rare) Sente cabinets:
This one is Hat Trick, one of the greatest hockey arcade games ever (if played with 2 players -- vs cpu kinda blows)
Also note, I tried throwing the jersey lines at the bottom of the side art, like the front section, but it didn't look "exciting enough", and because this is a full size cabinet the top area looked too barren. So instead, I have the lines going slanted and passing behind the logo. I think it works well.
The nice thing about my cocktail cabinet is that it's a small unit, so sport themed cabinets can be easy to conceptualize. For a full size cabinet, you gotta put a bit more effort into not making the cabinet look cheesy.
I think these examples are a good starting point. Let me know what you think.

Agreed, much better thant he bond...the SJ colours seem a great fit for a cocktail theme. I love the mockups Opt2not! :applaud:

Opt2Not this is sick. :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
EXACTLY what I was looking for, and I gotta agree that #2 is my favorite as well. I do gotta say however, I dont know if I like the logo on the side. I mean I like it, I think it just looks awkward being so low. I agree that with the shape it cant really go any higher, so we might have to figure out something else to go there.
This is VERY exciting, and im ready to get movin on this!

Another mock-up - logo a bit bigger, different 2 tone split, steeper angle on side-art lines, added CP and tinted monitor glass. Crudely lit marquee too:
I like how the big lines down the side connect to the front lines. Makes them look like hockey sticks. ;)

Love it! it combines the other two perfectly!
