Since my artistic skills are limited I am here begging for help.

Gonna use a floral patter on the rest of the cabinet, or just on the edges of your CPO?

just kidding. Since your CPO doesn't have any personality of its own, there's really not much for anyone to start with, other than the standard suggestions of "retro-arcade" or "fighter" themes. Why don't you tell us a little more about what you like?

How about this

Seriously, just a bit more info would help. Not too much to go on here.

Seriously, the bee thing could be cool!

You could also go construction or warning sign type theme with those colors. Or Pittsburgh sports teams.

I may take a crack at something for you too, once more info is posted.

btw, what size marquee?

olsteve · « **Reply #6 on:** February 07, 2005, 01:21:47 pm »

That is cool.
I was leaning more toward a caution/danger theme.
The cab is going to be a Lusid size/style cab.
I think the rest of the cab will be black.

megashock5 · « **Reply #7 on:** February 07, 2005, 02:06:13 pm »

Do you have any names in mind?

mahuti · « **Reply #8 on:** February 07, 2005, 02:47:49 pm »

What is the size of the marquee.

megashock5 · « **Reply #9 on:** February 07, 2005, 05:03:25 pm »

more messin' around. I can try to take time to make a nice one, just trying to find the direction you're after.

olsteve · « **Reply #10 on:** February 07, 2005, 06:24:35 pm »

That is awesome. Maybe a little more diamond plate like on the font?

You need to incorporate the nuclear hazard symbol into your artwork somewhere if your looking to head towards the danger / caution theme

Maybe even a big one on the side of your cab.

Sorry thats the biggest image i could find after a quick google.

Cheers ginno...

olsteve · « **Reply #14 on:** February 08, 2005, 01:03:56 am »

Some stuff I found that may inspire?

megashock5 · « **Reply #15 on:** February 08, 2005, 08:31:43 am »

Oh yeah, the nuclear symbol could be very cool. I'll see if I can find one.

megashock5 · « **Reply #16 on:** February 08, 2005, 09:22:23 am »

a quick jpg...

ginno · « **Reply #17 on:** February 11, 2005, 12:26:38 am »

Maybe an option for control panel backdrop / side art...

mahuti · « **Reply #18 on:** February 11, 2005, 12:42:06 am »

Your typography needs some work on that last one.

ginno · « **Reply #19 on:** February 11, 2005, 01:18:37 am »

Just a quick mock up in PSP, ultimately its up to olsteve to decide what he likes.

Im just giving him some ideas

cheers ginno...

mahuti · « **Reply #20 on:** February 11, 2005, 03:53:54 am »

I only mention it because good typography is so often overlooked, and one of the biggest keys to creating something that looks professional.

At any rate, I don't ever take the time to design for people here, so take my comments with a grain of salt... I know it's a lot of work to create.

olsteve · « **Reply #21 on:** February 12, 2005, 05:17:36 pm »

Ginno, very nice. I may use that or something similar for the side? Much appreciated.

Crowquill · « **Reply #22 on:** February 16, 2005, 02:09:12 pm »

Finally had time to get back to your post. The DangerCade looks good.

Here's another idea, just to give you an alternative. It's obviously a bit plain, but the concept's there. I'm working on some "all-purpose" marquees in good, clean vector art. "Game Zone" is one on the list I hadn't gotten to yet. Even if you don't like it for your cab, feel free to throw suggestions out for improving this one.

DreamWeb · « **Reply #23 on:** February 17, 2005, 12:01:55 am »

One that I've been considering myself... but, feel free...

Is "KING KOIN"

The King Kong logo for the upcoming movie was just released... if you're looking for ideas.

I think you could really go nuts with this theme.
