Do I have any style whatsoever? Part 2. The Control Panel
« on: May 19, 2008, 06:00:10 pm »
Hi everyone,

UPDATED: 28 May

After successful critiquing of my marquee
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=78976.msg824001#msg824001

I am now working on my control panel.  Again, I appreciate and value any comments you might have.

Also, does the labelling make sense?  Do you think you would know what to do to exit based on the labelling alone???

The yellow circles are just placeholders for buttons/joysticks.
- Player start buttons are black
- The game buttons are yellow
- The admin buttons are red
- The trackball buttons are black.

Here is a pic of the cabinet with the marquee installed:



1)My CP Graphic


2)Second Iteration

Better?  Worse?  I decided to go against the 2 button exit to avoid confusion. 
Changed the outlines around the joysticks too.

3) Blurred the gundam a bit, changed the opacity


4) Different gundam

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Was the gundam on the marquee just as detailed?

It looks good centered like that but you may need to tone down the detail.

Yeah the marquee gundam is just as detailed.

Added CPs 3 and 4.

Comments?  If you think I'm way off course go ahead and tell me.  I can always start over if what I'm doin is junk.

The last one seems to match a little better with the marquee.

Looks good to me.
