Encoms DOT Cabaret

Very awesome!

The Marquee
The first piece of art I need to create is the marquee.
The cabret marquees are unique they're 1/8" bent acrylic
Which makes it difficult for 2 reasons.
One the original DOT marq both upright and Enviros are hologram type translights mounted behind a glass marquee front.
2nd that design wont fit in the same ratio, theres only 5" of marquee height before the bends.
I stumbled across a thread on KLOV on factory cut EDOTs and found the marquee design used very interresting
A thin long cross breed of both the DOT logo and square shaped light traces and a orginal Tron marquee
rikitiki:
So laying out some basic vectors and fonts
note the difference between using the online "font" and a real Tron Font logo.
online "Tron font" pic above modified font below.
this was also mentioned in my Encom/Tron Video Pinball post
most notibly is the weight of the letters and the center cutaway is off on most letters of that online font :'(
but after some reworking I got something just about ready

I like the marquee you put together, but I don't know if I'm sold on the amount of overall yellow being used. I like in your original translit image that the bordering/framing lines are two colours, green and red. But your image has full yellow with yellow font outlines. Might be too much overall. Thoughts?
rikitiki:
theres no yellow in any of these graphics. :dunno
maybe your reffering to the yellow outlines I used over the orginal DOT marquee?
Which is not being used
thats only for reference shown so you could see the tracing over the orginal light traces and font
this one I found random on the net looks like a cleaned up version of the orginal. since the scan is so poor due to the hologram effects.
So the marquee once printed and formed will be something like this
