Title: I need help with a marquee
Post by: KDOG on October 21, 2012, 09:28:52 pm: I am kinda of in a bind. I can not find any good artwork for my FSU theme cab's marquee. I just want the Seminole head next to the words florida state with a garnet background. Using this style font.

There are 4 versions included, ai, svg, pdf and a 300dpi png. the Logo is an svg from the Wikipedia page here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:FSU_Seminoles.svg (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:FSU_Seminoles.svg) The font is College Bold from here: http://www.pickafont.com/fonts/C/College%20Bold.html (http://www.pickafont.com/fonts/C/College%20Bold.html)

That is exactly what I wanted to look like. Thank so much

Edit: Nevermind. Looks like you've already been provided vector files above.

It's all vector. The Logo from Wikipedia is svg (Scalable vector graphics) and the rest was done in Illustrator.

KDOG, That marquee is sized at 24"x10". If you need any adjustments in size let me know.

Better game than Duke University, though. I always thought Crazy Kong was a better bootleg than Duke.
