Title: What do you think of my side art (mockup)?
Post by: chucklepie on October 26, 2012, 01:42:00 pm

Hello,
With my current love of the colour vermillion and taking inspiration from Barry Sheene's orange striped motorbike of the 70's I came up with this. What do you think (the only difference between the two is the fade?

I'm worried about too many vinyls sticking out so I thought maybe instead of using the lettering on vinyl, using the waste of the vinyls print (I have access to a vinyl printing machine) to paint/spray through the hole?

When in doubt, Comic Sans.

No, seriously, try IMPACT or something like that.

If you want fonts, search for the Visual Pinball font set.  It has a ton of arcade looking fonts.
