If Anyone with Artistic talent has some time to kill....
« on: February 13, 2007, 10:50:03 am »
I was hoping maybe some one could design me a marquee. I would do it obviously if i had any ability in the world. Thanks ahead of time for anyone who trys..

I was hoping to have my mame machine around a Lord of the rings theme. On the Marquee it would have a picture of Saurons eye and in front it would just say "MAME" And then in smaller text it would say "One cabinet to rule them all"

Hope that does not sound too dumb. JUst though it was a cool idea.

 The size is 25 x 7 1/2.

Thanks again!

Here is a start,...

I've got this file at full res 300 dpi.

I'll work on the new tagline next, and remove the type under MAME

New version with the tagline. Fixed up some things and darkened the corners.

let me know if you like and I'll find a way to get you the high res version.

That's pretty sweet. Should look good back-lit. But, you joined just to create this marquee for this guy, for free? Not that there's anything wrong with it, just a weird first two posts is all. Definitely worth it though as that is exactly what he was asking for.

Nahh,... I've been lurking for a while,... finally registered the other day and this was just the first thing that I felt I could contribute to. I just happened to have some free time and I figured it would be something easy to do. ( I make a living creating artwork, so this was a pretty quick thing )

I'm finalizing design on my own cabinet now, so I've been reading here like crazy to get all the info I can.
