Title: terminator 2 marquee remake
Post by: countchocula8 on May 11, 2005, 03:45:05 am

hi guys,

i'm mame-ing a t2 cab that i recently bought.  this cab did not come with a marquee so i thought it would be fun to make one.  i decided to go with the terminator 2 theme, but rather than going with the original marquee which is kinda plain (#1)i made my own.

i've made 2 potential images and i'm not too sure which one i like more.  which one do you guys like better?  feel free to give critiques and inputs.

here are the pictures http://img53.echo.cx/img53/8426/marquees3ac.png (big d/l ~800k)

also, if i go with #3, i will try to keep the same layout (the tech/computer-interface look) for the control panel.  Because of the motif, i'm leaning more towards #3.  however, i do realize that this design is a little busy.

thanks for your help.

I like number 2, except for the hard division between the 2 halves.

I also like #2 and would like it a little better if there was a fade in/out between the 2 halves.  #3 has a little too much going on for my tastes in a marquee.

i really like three for the tech feel, but you need to do something different with the title.  i think 2 and three would look better with the different division and both would look better with a title geared more toward the background than the original.

Both look good.   Though, the font doesn't really match.
