Advice on space invaders themed marquee

That's a great idea to just to title it "arcade".  I know it may seem unoriginal, but in someway it's more creative than using classic arcade or those type of names.

Thanks for the font turnarcades I'll see if I can draft something new tonight.

jfunk:

I think that first one from Turnarcades is what I used in my 'INVADER' marquee..  But I stretched the font a bit so they weren't as squared...

When I was designing mine, someone suggested replacing the squares in the font with small invaders..  Like the pattern they're coming down in is the name of the arcade...  Cheesy?  Yes.  Time-consuming?  Yes.  Worth it........?   ;D

Marsupial:

I like the name "arcade"  its not unimaginative, its descriptive. And in my opinion way better then having something lame.

One that I saw online that I liked had the words "game not over" on it. I liked that too. Kinda similar to retro, memories, but with a better game-related twist IMHO.


As for the design itself, if you change the fonts, its great IMO. I like that it matches the CP and have random invaders.

On mine, I chose not to name it anything (green invader cab).  It's the same theme and I believe you have the Invader Photoshop file I gave you with all the colors to choose from.

Why not just no text at all?

Here they are together for comparison:



Love the CPO by the way.  It came out great!

Yeah I really like the cp! I posted it on another thread and thanked you for the art.  It looks really great with the trackball in there, someday I'll get a spinner.

I dunno, I just feel like it's suppose to have a name.  Maybe not.  I might try printing it from my printer just to see how both would look.
