Those look amazing!

[Pongo]

Hey, thanks for keeping the orders coming.

I was just cleaning up my inbox and realized that I had missed a few last week.

As a general rule, if you don't get a response within 24 hours, please send me another message. I try to get back to everyone, but sometimes things fall through the cracks.


Thanks again.

[pmailley]

Do you also make stickers for the Consoles?  What I mean is stickers for the buttons like the Playstation Square, Circle, Triangle, X, L1, L2, R1, R2 and XBox, Dreamcast etc...?

I could use them to put on my console joystick buttons.  Let me know.  Thanks.

Pongo,

Have you made any jukebox stickers yet? Just curious if you already have the graphics for them.

Just made a request, I messed up what I wanted the first time, I sent another PM explaining what I needed.

Sorry about that.

Whenever you're available, I'm ready to order.

[Pongo]

Hey all,

Just wanted to say thanks for all the continued support. You guys have definitely been keeping me busy for the last year.

I'm usually pretty organized about this stuff, but the amount of requests in the last few weeks, plus not being home has really made a bit of a mess. I'm hoping to start getting caught up again, but this last month has been very busy at work. I've had a lot of custom requests that have been delayed because of it, and I am trying to catch up now, but it may take a bit. If you have sent a message and not heard from me, then please send a new PM/email to get things going again. Sorry about this, but I just haven't been able to keep up lately.

To answer the jukebox question,... yes these are no problem. Almost every order is custom cut, so let me know what you need.

[Kaytrim]

He's not lying about custom cut stickers.  Here is one he did for me.  BTW I could use some more white ones Pongo.  Thanks much for these they really fit the bill.

Pongo does great work. Here is a sample of my buttons with his labels installed.

[IronBuddha]

Just sent payment.

I'll definitely need some custom stuff later on, so we'll definitely do business again 


This should definitely get stickied!

[Pongo]

I just added a short tutorial on how to apply the joystick arrow decals. Go to the top of the thread,... it is in the 2nd post.

Thanks again to everyone.

[TechJunkie]

I just received some Decals in Australia from Pongo and they are perfect.  Pongo is great to deal with and provided me with some great tips, thanks again Pongo !!

Howdy Pongo-

I'd like to get the ball rolling on a set of stickers for my cab.  But first, I wanted to get some advice/info/etc on some icons & recommendations before I take the plunge.

When I've got all the stickers figured out, I'll order a complete black set & a complete white set.

Here's what I'm looking for, along w/ some links for examples--I think these links are from the "old" thread on vinyl stickers, not yours--can you reproduce these or do you have equivalents in your library?

1: 1x double arrows ("fast forward") for speed up (MAME throttle) on button http://www.ironvulva.com/vinyl/deluxe_sheet.gif

2: 2x Pause (2 vertical lines) button  http://www.ironvulva.com/vinyl/deluxe_sheet.gif

3: 4x "ESC" for a 1/2" dia button & 1/2" dia button cover (use font from http://www.ironvulva.com/vinyl/brad_proof.gif) [any recommendation on a graphic for "exit game to FE", or is "ESC" or "EXIT" the best way to convey this button's meaning?]

4: 2x "SAVE" button (use font from http://www.ironvulva.com/vinyl/brad_proof.gif)  [or can you do like MS Office: floppy disk icon?  Recommendation for icon for "save state"?]

5: 2x "LOAD" button (use font from http://www.ironvulva.com/vinyl/brad_proof.gif)   [or can you do like MS Office: open folder icon?  Recommendation for icon for "load state?"]

6: 2x 8-way to 4-way on joystick dust washer (2.125OD, .5ID, 8 is on the left, 4 is on the right)   http://www.ironvulva.com/vinyl/4-8_way.gif simpler version on right

7: 4x dollar sign $ button  http://www.ironvulva.com/vinyl/deluxe_sheet.gif

8: 1x power (circle & line) to go on flat surface next to custom button http://www.ironvulva.com/vinyl/deluxe_sheet.gif

9: 1x "SELECT GAME" button (use font from http://www.ironvulva.com/vinyl/brad_proof.gif) [Recommendation for text to use for 1P button to select game from FE & launch it?  Perhaps a wraparound sticker that goes under the button flange?]

10: 1x letter up/down select [This will probably be mapped to left/right or up/down on a joystick, so some text & an arrow would do the trick--recommendation?]

11: 1x game up/down select [This will be a spinner, so a curved arrow w/ text on either end would do the trick--recommendation?]

12: 1x show info button [mapped to the MaLa command that pulls up the info window--recommendation besides "INFO SHOW/HIDE"?]

13: 1x cycle info button [mapped to the MaLa command that cycles screens in the info window--recommendation besides "INFO NEXT" or "INFO CYCLE" or "<-INFO->"?]



Thanks in advance for any feedback on the ones that I haven't yet figured out.

Just another thumbs up for Pongo and his decals, they look great!

[Pongo]

Jason,

Thanks for the PM,... I hadn't checked this thread in a while, but am still active making these.

It will take me a bit to sort through things, so I will get back to you as soon as I have a chance to look things over better (At work now)

[Spaced Ace]

Yo Pongo!  Man, I have emailed a bunch over the last 10 months with no reply, are you selling these now or what?

I'll buy a few sets whenever you email me back...

Thanks,
Spaced

[Pongo]

Spaced-

Sorry to hear that,... I have not seen any emails from you. I get a high amount of spam though, so my filters can sometimes nail things they are not supposed to. Sending me a PM here is the best way to contact me if you are looking for something.


Edit: one more important note.

My wife and I just added a baby to the family a few weeks ago, so my free time to do this has been cut down a bit. I should still be able to provide the same stuff as before, but it may take a few extra nights on the custom jobs especially.

If you are expecting a response from me and do not hear back within a day, please PM me and I will give you status. If it has taken longer than 2-3 days I have probably missed your message somehow. I try not to let that happen, but  when things get busy sometimes things can get bumped down the stack.

Quick update:

Yes, I'm still alive and making these, but I'm putting in some serious hours at work right now. This is making it difficult to respond over the last few days.

At this point I'm pretty much booked through until after Christmas,... if you have already contacted me, I will try to respond soon, but please be patient. If I have not contacted you back by this weekend, please try again, or wait until after the holiday season.

Sorry,...I can only do these in my spare time, and that has been scarce lately. When I get behind on things like this it can be a bit overwhelming to get caught up again.

Thanks.

Add another satisfied Pongo customer to the list!!!     

Pics attached (just close-ups...don't want to derail this thread by distracting everybody w/ my Frankenpanel...).

Pongo did some custom work for me.  His creative juices were excellent in turning my descriptive text into simple & useful icons.   

He also did a few minor revs for me to tweak some of the art and he was a really good sport about accommodating my picky requests.

Although I am by no means complaining here (just reporting the facts), it was about a 3-month turnaround time for me from my initial contact to receiving the vinyl.  As he said in his posts, he's busy with a new baby & work, so I certainly can't complain that the man has his priorities straight!     I imagine that customers w/ simple requests (not custom artwork) might get faster service (though I'm not speaking for Pongo).

To make up for his delay, Pongo offered me a ridiculously low cost for his service & product.  Even with the 60% tip that I tacked on, I still got a helluva deal.  (I've bought many vinyl stickers in the past: http://infernolab.com/galleryfiles/drijrgallery.html & http://infernolab.com/galleryfiles/drijrgallery.html are some examples & I paid lots more for those than what Pongo charged!)  Oh, and then he went ahead & threw in extra stickers--too kind!   

Hopefully my art will be added to his stock library & be available for easy purchase for others. (1st attachment)

Refer to my original art request post in this thread if you're not sure what all these stickers are for: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=64645.msg884311#msg884311

If I could do it over, I'd request that the "SELECT GAME" sticker wrap around the top of my P1 button instead of the bottom, but that's what I get for not thinking of that & requesting that ahead of time!


Thanks again, Pongo--now I can get going on my bezel artwork with user directions!

-Jason

PS--the player start "man" buttons aren't Pongo's--their what came w/ my SlikStik Quad.

[jasonbar]

Remainder of pics.

[Pongo]

Thanks for the kind words.

I did want to mention that the time it took for Jason's order was highly unusual. His initial emails came in right around the birth of my latest, and we had several exchanges of revisions. Between work and the new baby I put off things a bit too much and it took a long time between some exchanges. I'm a bit embarrassed by how long it actually took, but it does reflect the lack of time I had for anything custom over the last few months.

Most orders are sent out the next shipping day, and even adding a small amount of customization only adds an extra day usually.  I won't be producing any new stickers until January now due to a heavy work schedule, but should be able to resume to normal shipping after the first of the year.

[jasonbar]

No need for embarrassment or apologies--just get back to your "real life" & don't worry too much about the stickers! 

Thanks,
-Jason

[Pongo]

Jan 04 update. Hopefully this gets read by people those that have tried to contact me over the Holidays.

At this point I am starting up getting orders out again, but I am WAY behind. Things really stacked up on me over the last few weeks when I was unable to cut.

I will be contacting everyone over the next few days, so if you have not heard anything by mid week (Jan6-7) feel free to send a new message. I will try to do them mostly in the order they came in, but simple orders will probably get bumped to the front simply because I can get them out quickly.

Thanks for the patience.

[BASS!]

No worries pongo, as soon as you can, we understand. Just as long as you send mine first.
