Title: Marquee Critique / Advice / Feedback
Post by: acejas on January 19, 2004, 05:48:04 am

OK Guys

This is a very simple design  :)

My questions are how effective will the colors look with the flouroscent backlight. Im thinking not to use the black becuase my cabinet is black (classic Lusid Design)

Any opinions on which will look best/effective with regards to lighting.

Any other comments on the design please feel free to comment

I know its only opinions and evryone has different tastes but feedback would be good

Cheers

I like number 2, the one with the black background the best.  I think the gradient backgrounds dont go well with the simple design.  I think that the black, yellow and red combination works better than the red yellow blue.  Perhaps you should try some more solid color backgrounds since the black background will block light.  However, I really like the black one.

Good Luck!

Thanks for that  :)

I tend to agree with you but my problem is that the black will block everything out but then again that could really highlight the words

Anyway Ill try some more colours.

I like the contrast of the gradient background to the simple text.
I like no. 3

It will glow pretty good with a light.
