Part of my Trio of Projects
« on: May 05, 2005, 10:45:32 am »
Well I'm working on 3(arcade) projects at once. And one of them just happens to be a replica of Dig-Dug. So while I'm building inbetween weekends, I've decided it'd be kinda smart to start on the art.

Here's the first example that I've come up with for the Marquee. Please tell me what you think.

EDIT: Heh... it'd help if I posted the picture :-[

I my opinion you need to lighten & thicken the text, as it gets lost in the background.

And I'm not a fan of teh bottom of the two 'G's. 

And what's the NANICO.  Seens big in the corner being so bright/white.  Maybe use simolar colors so it fades in a bit.

But that's just my .000000002 cents worth!

Well I actually am very terrible at Font picking. So I just picked something that I thought looked good. Nanico is just a play off of "Namco"... I tried it make it as close to the Namco logo as possible (But used blue instead of red)

I'm trying to figure out what to do with the O in the back. I want the X to look a little sharper than it does and I need something to accent it. I'm going to try a few things

Still working on it. Changed the Gs. I don't know if I really want to change the entire font. I was going to at first...

Someone said that Namco might get mad cause it looks too close to their logo ::) but I'm gonna just play it nice for now. So I changed it a little more.
