Marquee Design - comments?
« on: May 06, 2005, 01:18:15 am »
I'm getting closer to putting saw to mdf  ;D, and in the spirit of that endeavour, thought I should get some artwork rolling. So here is the marquee. Comments welcomed.

Is that kind of like an Iron Maiden font?

It does bear a resemblance, but the font is based off of the one used for Arkanoid - which is an all time favorite of mine.

I always thought the Arkanoid font was a bit odd too. The Arkanoid marquee always looked like "Arkanow" to me.

Hmmmm,

Food for thought. I may try a few other fonts tonight, just to see if there is anything I like better AND has good readability. Thanks for the coments thus far.
