Maybe Next Year :( 2011 BYOAC Tokens - FRONT Side design thread
<< < (19/28) > >>
migraineman:
There are a couple of elements that are still bugging me.  The perspective on the BYOAC text isn't quite right, and I'd like to add some depth to the interior of the arcade.  Graphic artist, I am not.  The day-job impinges on available time to focus on artistic endeavours.

Here's the other concept that's been rattling around inside my cranium.  Takes me back to my yoot, which was largely mis-spent feeding quarters into vector games.

Haha. Although I think this design still needs a little clean-up, I really like your perspective. I can't really think of many design submissions posted for previous years that showed the uninstalled arcade parts. It's nice to see a design that incorporated that element into the look.  :applaud:

I really like the Art Deco look of this!   :applaud:

If I could make a few suggestions...  I would center the building on the token and remove the "BYOAC" and replace it with "ARCADE".  Build Your Own Arcade Controls is already around the outside of the coin, and I think "ARCADE" in an art deco font would look nice there.  Also, the outer ring design could use some art deco influence also.  Finally, the player one seems too rounded for this style token.

I love art deco, and I think this could be a really sharp token design.

Nice!  Really like the concept.  It may be a little crowded at this point but I love the vector concept and also the arcade components!  Really brings to mind what this site is about.

In the art deco design, I really didn't like the arcade cab and the Player One icon.  Honestly, I tossed them in at the last second to fill the white space. 

Updated artwork, below, does a better job of staying within the art deco "rules."  The arcade cabs are much more commanding and massive.  I think the people fit better too.
