Yup, that's what I did. Pause button only -- and it is shifted to get to admin functions. There's no game risk to anyone hitting pause, you can just resume after all. And it reduces buttons, which is good because I have a lot of buttons on mine. Tasteful lot, but a lot. Too many is not tasteful. |

I would consider softening the hue on the logo. It looks like you took the very vibrant cartoon logo and put it in with grittier/darker/more subdued turtles art. To my eye that makes the logo "pop" a bit too much. If you plan on losing the green background color what color would you put in there? I actually think the green works well. I love the TMNT theme for the record, big fan of the original comics. |

I thought that the green was too similar to the turtles' colors, and the original artwork I pilfered those turtles from came on a nice looking textured background, so I thought maybe I would try a textured background. I really like the "dark" look of these turtles, it is reminiscent of the original Eastman and Laird comics. Here is the updated artwork: This control panel will be an all-in-one panel so I can take it places, and I am going to make a second 2-player auxiliary panel for player 3/4 with Raphael and Donatello, same style artwork, for playing good old 4-player TMNT arcade, as well as others. |

I like the logo much better that way. The textured background changes the feel a lot, it almost makes me wonder how it would look with a manhole cover or rooftop background. I can't say which I like better between the grey and the green but I do think if it was mine and I went grey then I would look for a dark green T-molding. |

I am going to flush mount the trackball so that the mounting plate doesn't hog 6" of real estate that I can otherwise use for the art :) any ideas on where to find dark green t-molding? So far I just have black, I was originally thinking about doing red t-molding with the green background. |
