Thank you again :)
This is probably close to final artwork for the marquee, just printed on an inkjet. I'm going to remove the black border, extend the larger circumference swirls and print a silhouette of just the text so it hopefully pops when backlit.
I think it's understated enough to work unlit and lit too, and it says what I want it to. I think the colour works well too but you have to imagine the dark stain with it. :) - Also, there's a lot of inkjet bleed obviously...
Comments?
edge:
drawfull - fantastic job thus far. I love the wooden knob. I may need to kidnap your dad for my jukebox. ;-)
On the marquee, it looks like the S in Hanny'S is too close to the word Tunes. Must be because the S seems to be leaning over to the right a bit... Maybe add some more space in between the 2 words?

I was also going to say it looked like one word or actually like Hanny' Stunes. Also, I would have the text follow the arc of your cutout.
DaOld Man:
This juke is frickin sweet.
I agree about the lettering in the marquee, but other than that, it looks great! I love the 3-D look.

Thanks for the feedback and kind words. I agree re the 'S' - I was aware of it, but the font I used was a free version of something commercial and the kerning is all wrong. I think that's the right phrase. I can fix it and will - thanks!

Thanks again guys - with regard to the text mirroring the arc, it's tricky. It just doesn't look 'right' that way. Because the top arc mirrors the knob surround, it's much more severe than both your jukes. I think if I move the 'S' it will improve it a lot. I also want to change the flowery bit around the knob to match the upper surround. Strugging with that too.
More to come later :)
