Post by: Industen on February 20, 2004, 07:29:09 am
"This contest is for the creation of a Marquee for the SlikStik Arcade cabinet. We love the thought that is put into the graphics from contest subscribers when we run these kinds of contests, good work everyone!"

"The prize is a Tornado spinner with our new SlikStik optic board that supports axis switching and your choice of 2 spinner tops."

Any chance you might be able to provide this Wideglide font in a format that's usable by Macs?

That's a TTF. It can be opened on a Mac (lookin at it right now). In OSX at least, and I think it will open in OS9 as well.

This will be a fun contest.  I will submit an entry, although the competition will be tough.

Good luck to all...

If we stick with raster what sort of DPI are they expecting?

I would imagine at least 300 dpi.

Thanks, that did the trick. To save other Mac users from having to jump through the same hoops, here's the Wideglide font in a Mac- usable format:

Man, slik stik needs to post more about what they want.. i mean, they just say design a slik stik marquee...they dont even mention if they want a slogan, what the slogan is, what type of message they want to convey or anything.. pretty friggin vague if you ask me.

A FEW MORE DETAILS would be nice.

 :P

Isn't this just a "scam" to get a cheap marquee for their arcade machines? I mean, the end result will be sold on a commercial product.

What's the deadline? I thought I saw it somewhere but now I can't find it.

How do I submit an entry? I don't see any entries posted in the contest thread on the Slik Stik message board. What am I missing?  :-\

It sounds like we are suppose to post them to this thread?  There is a brief mention of it in there....
