Project Name.
« on: February 24, 2005, 10:13:03 am »
Working on the artwork design for my cab now and want to try to call it something original.

Working on a gothic/horror theme.

Has anyone used the name DARKade yet?.

You could do a "The Crow" theme.  CrowCade..  I always liked that movie... I have to watch it again sometime.

Yeh. The design brief I have done for the background is to model everything in a noir cartoon style with Gotham City, The Crow, Vampire Flicks as a kind of style guide.

I'm hoping make a suitable gothic style font for the DARKade and MAME logo's.

Its all drawing board at the mo.

A friend of mine who is an absolute magician with photoshop is going to help me out with the technical bits. Will post some pics once I actually get some stuff into photoshop, hopefully sometime next week.

Why don't you just go with evil and call it the "HELLCADE"

Does it have to have "CADE" on the end?

Thought I would break the mould slightly and go with KADE rather than CADE (like it makes a difference  ;D).

Still playing with a few names though.

Sinister, Gothyk, and Dark Classics were some of the other considerations.

I did think about Ultracade but I checked around and I think someone's already used that somewhere  :P

You could use House of the Dead-style artwork and do "Arcade of the Dead"... do zombies wearing Atari and Pac-Man T-shirts...

Arse!.

No finished pics. Anyone know if that was what he called the cab/project or just the name of the site?.

Don't really want to blag someone elses idea.
