About a year ago or so someone was getting together orders for little vinyl sitckers that could be used to stick on buttons. Are those still around?
I'm putting a dedicated quit button on my new CP and having this button labeled would be a good thing.

I'll do that. Thanks!

There's inkjet material, that you can buy for making stickers.
There's white and clear. you can print on the stuff, cut it to shape, peel the adhesive and stick it to where you need...use the clear to print on, then stick another layer of clear over top so the print won't wear away...I haven't used it on a CP button, but I have used it for other applications, and it worked well...
Maybe it could be used for the stickers on yout buttons...

I tried doing this with clear Avery label stock, but the material made wrinkles when it tried to follow the concave shape of the button. Any suggestions on how to make this stick down in the button flat?

Let me check my box of goodies to see if I can scrounge up a few.

Nannuu:
What happened to the naked mud flap chick?
-
I think I still have some of those. Someone requested them but I cut more than I needed. No one else asked for them so they are still in the box I think?
Now that this comes up. I can definitely do a third run of these since I'll be at the sign shop for a week in July anyway. It was a lot easier not weeding them last time :P.
-
You can consider me interested. :)
-
Id like to put in for an 'exit' sticker as well if you do get a round to doing a run Nannuu.
Thx
Tek
-
If you're considering doing another run, I'd recommend starting a thread in the B/S/T forum to make it worth your while.
-
I missed the last batch. Willing to donate a few $ for a set if you do another run, Nannuu.
-
Oooh Oooh! I want in too, Mister Kotter. These look very cool!
-
I work at a sign shop too and can cut some of these no problem (thanks to Nannuu for the ai file!). If anyone wants a set (or something else that's small) drop me a PM, I'll gladly send out some to people that mail me an SAE (stamped addressed envelope). I'm not going to weed them though- you'll have to follow Nannuu's instructions there.
I'll cut it from 3M matte white with the clear plastic backing film unless anyone wants another color.
I can wrap text around buttons pretty easily too if anyone wants some...
-
These are gonna get really popular when the translucent buttons arrive...
-
I like that wrap-around lettering.
-
No problem Joy. I don't do it for money anyway, I do it for BYOACers. I will ask for a SASE on the next run too. I got a talkin to from the wife on the first run :P.
I might cut some of these too. I really like it on my truck. But I would have to charge due to the size, weeding and mask. Any interest in these? Someone was selling them in BST a while back. Pixel was nice enough to share the file.
-
I'd definitely be interested in button labels now that I'm finally going to start getting my machine up and running.
-
oh man i would LOVE an atomic logo. And those button stickers are the best. I would take some more, but you have to at least give us the option to throw you a few bucks this time for your troubles....unless you're going for BYOAC sainthood here :)
-
Count me in for one or 2 of the atomic logos. :)
I need a Pac-Man Tire cover too...anyone know where I could pick up something that dorky? I'd prefer that 3D picture of him winking and giving the thumbs up. :D
Allroy
edit:
Just re-reading this post...I'm not making fun of other people for being dorks...I'm simply stating..I AM a Dork. - just want to be clear
-
I'm interested in 2 atomic logos as well. How much?
...and there would definitely be a bonus $ for button stickers. ;D
-
I'm putting together a cut file for the free button-sticker sets based on Nannuu's Illustrator file. It's going to all fit on one letter-sized page so it'll fit into a standard letter envelope easily.
I'll throw in a few 'wrap-around-button' text labels too- like the 'PLAYER 1 START' one in the photo above. I'll use the standard helvetica font for these, since it's the easiest font to weed when the text is this small. I'll see how well the Robotron font weeds too.
Obvious labels are the player start and exit buttons. Any other requests? Shout them out now while there's still room.

I'm definately interested. PM on the way.

Nannuu, I would be interested in a couple of those Atomic Logos. Great stuff for the car. Not sure about use of the decals yet, but I will probably snag a set "just in case".

Exit,
pause,
shift,
config(tab-screwdriver maybe?),
$ (for a coin button),
Enter(the little arrow thing)
Power
Joystick mode (Joy Mode) for GPwiz 49s

Nannuu already has a pic of all the stickers he made. You can find it here: http://www.willyliliana.com/Mame%20Cabinet/Button%20Graphics.jpg
to give you an idea of what is available. They are really awesome.

Sorry, butI need a translation on these buttons.
What is:
the guy walking through a door? enter?
the other one with the guy walking through a solid door?
Is the "power" icon for exit?
Headphones?
the arrow pointing up to a line?

Hey JoyMonkey, what is that smaller button (labeled "exit")? Is that a Happ?

Thats for exiting the game - according to Nannuu its the milkman running out the backdoor b/c Mr. Schwarzaneggar (sp?) came home early :P

Headphones?
Not entirely sure, but I know that some of the PC speaker sets, such as the Creative set that Ive used and I kno Kevin used in the mameframe II has a remote w/ a headphone jack
The others Im not entirely sure on though :-[

No, it's a Radioshack momentary contact pushbutton.
http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&product%5Fid=275-644
Most Radioshacks have them and they're pretty good for admin buttons.
-
Nannuu,
I am in like flint on this deal. Anything I can do to help, just lemme know!
If you need cash, stamps, yard mowed.... whatever it takes!
Thanks,
Kev~
-
No problem Joy.
-
the arrow pointing up to a line?
That's "Shift."
-

That's "Shift."
-
Which one is "exit"? (**staring at the shift key on my keyboard**)
-
What we really need is a jukebox sticker set: A through F and 1 through 9, plus SEL, RND, POP, left and right arrows PAUSE, SKIP, CLR, all in the Handel or Microgramma font that are so popular on jukeboxes...

I've never seen those. Send me some pics and I'll add them to my file.
-
I'll put some together. On a real juke, they're engraved into the buttons.
-
JoyMonkey -- Very interested as well. PM sent!
-
I'm interested in that sheet. Any standard wrap-around lettering would also be good. Sending PM.
-
Brilliant, very interested as well Joymonkey. Many thanks!
PM sent
-
Count my in. I want some! I want some! Also the BYOAC atom is great count me in for that as well.
I was just about to ask in my own thread if there was anyone that printed letters on buttons. I want to have "exit" on a button instead of printing it on my CP art in case I decide to change the button later I dont want it forever stuck on the cp panel.
"exit"
"start"
"pause"
all of that good stuff.
-
Hey Joy and Nannuu,
I also have a printer plotter at my house since I do a lot of automotive vinyl. So if the workload is to much or you need a maryland contact just let me know. I have more than 40 different colors including chrome. However, chrome would take a little more time on the concaves being that it doesnt like to flex. In either event PM if you need anything.
Matt
-
These are gonna get really popular when the translucent buttons arrive...
Exactly, I didn't have a use for these before. They would be really useful though with the trans buttons since you can't get them in P1/P2 start.
I would love to get a round of these.
-
I am interested in a round of buttons as well as one of the atomics
-
count me in!
-
I'd also be interested in a set of button stickers and the atomic.
-
i sitll have a set of these.....somewhere. If I can find em, I'll give them to whoever
-
Here's what I've got so far for button stickers, I'll also do some button wrap-around text for EXIT, PAUSE, SHIFT, SETTINGS, CREDIT, ENTER, POWER, JOYSTICK MODE, PLAYER 1 START, PLAYER 2 START, PLAYER 3 START, PLAYER 4 START
I started to receive peoples envelopes in the mail today (3 so far), hopefully I'll get these out by mid next week.
-
JoyMonkey, do you know if these labels will show up against a Dark Blue convex pushbutton, such as the ones richardp was selling?

edit: for spelling
They should. The image above shows everything in black, but I'll be cutting everything from matte white vinyl as well as matte black (let me know if you want black or white when you mail me the SASE).
-
Stupid question, Are we actually signing up for something right now?
-
those look cool JoyMonkey. I sent you a PM.
-
Stupid question, Are we actually signing up for something right now?
Sorry if it's a little unclear. I'll be sending out the button stickers to everyone that sends me a self addressed stamped envelope (standard letter size). PM me for the mailing address to send it.
I'll be mailing out the stickers cut on a sheet of vinyl (black or white), when you get the stickers, you'll have to weed them out and use scotch-tape to apply them (as Nannu's instruction show).
Nannu is also sending out button stickers, but is also doing the BYOAC 'Atomic' decal (see page 1 of this thread).
Edit: I've hit my limit, so please PM Conseit68 for details of where to mail your SASE.
Thanks !

Any chance we could have a picture that represents Joystick mode?
-
JoyMonkey, you're my hero... even if you do have a funny accent. ;)
-sab
-
Anyone like one of these for joystick mode?
-
The first one is pretty nice. nice and simple. Should I be PM'ing you now for an atomic logo (or 3) for my truck?
-
Nannuu...
I like the first one...clean lines and simple as timoe stated. Not quite sure what the other two would represent though.
-
I think I've hit my limit as far as sticker requests go, but thankfully Conseit68 has offered to send out some sets. Please PM him for details of where to send your SASE.
Thanks Conseit68!

My SASE is in the mail. If you can't do anymore when you get it, don't worry about it.

I'll still send out the stickers to everyone that I PM'd (everyone that I gave my mailing address to, I think there's about 30 of you out there), so you don't worry about it.

-
I am going with ere*tion levels ;D
...sorry couldn't resist :police:
i'll be quite now...
-
Just a quick update, I haven't had the chance to finish putting the stickers file together and have them cut, and I probably won't be able to get around to it this week (crazy busy at work and wedding season has officially hit, so I don't have much time to do anything).
Fingers crossed for next week!
-
***UPDATE ALSO...
ditto on the crazy week...not to mention my plotter took a poo on me...I am hoping to have them out for the SASE i currently have by Friday. Thanks for the patience all.
Matt
-
I'm just hanging out at work waiting to go on vacation. Won't have any done until the end of July, then I'll post how many atomic logos I have and the price.
Current PMs will get first dibs of course.
-
i want a couple atomic logos... :laugh:

No problem, I don't think you should worry about rushing them out when you are doing everyone a favor :) .
BTW, would that SASE be mine by any chance ;) ?
-
lol @ tahnok...i have 6 of them so far...yours is one ;D
-
Mang! I've been checkin the mail everyday at work. Even eyeing my boss suspiciously like he STOLE my button stickers.
I guess I can relax ;D
-
yes timoe...patience is a virtue.
at least you know your in before they go away again :)
-
Can I still get in on this, or is it too late?
-
you can with me...patience though and there are not many left...
-
Just came back from vacation to see that the stickers had arrived! I can't thank you enough! They look even better on the buttons:
-
tahnok - glad you enjoy them...
I believe everyone that requested stickers from me via SASE is out at this point. Any future requests should be made by PM only. Thanks
-
I just got back from vacation and got nothing cut at all. Last time the small buttons stickers gobbed up the cutter so I was not allowed to cut any this year. And I didn't get the Atomic logo before I left for vacation so I didn't get those done either. I'll be refering all of the Atomic PMs to conseit68's BST thread.
Sorry everyone :-[.
-
Got my set from conseit68 over the weekend and they look great.
-
Thanks for the kind words...
Anyone still interested in either the button stickers or the atomic logo please go to the below thread for any future requests. I can't keep up with both threads :)

Hi,
I've recently bought this:

It's great for labeling buttons ...

Funny, I saw your cabinet earlier but never PM'ed you since you have P1 and P2 graphics on your CP. I do have some left I can send though. PM me your address and I'll send'em.
-
Hey JoyMonkey, have you mailed out all of the SASE orders yet? I still haven't gotten mine. :'(
-
I think he's still working on them.
-
Still hoping mine are on the way from Joymonkey as well...
-
Here's an update- I got the last batch of white-only stickers in the mail today. I ran out of the nice plastic-backed vinyl, so some of you will be getting paper-backed sets, sorry.
I still have to cut black sets for about 8 more people, fingers crossed I'll get them out this week sometime :-X
-
Just wanted to say that I got my stickers from Joy. They're awesome!
Thanks JoyMonkey!
-
Checked my mail yesterday to see that my stickers had arrived -- and they look great! :)
Thanks for the hook-up, JoyMonkey!
-
I waS worried that my boss might have stolen my button stickers from the mail. >:(
R.I.G.H.T.
he showed up on my jobsite on friday with the envelope in hand. ;D
Thank you joymonkey. I cant wait to try them out
-
ohhh I hope this means that mine will be here soon :)
-
I'm hoping for mine as well... :)
-
I'm still waiting to get the black sets cut, so everyone that wanted a black set will have to wait a little longer, sorry.
-
Got mine friday. Thanks much JoyMonkey
-
I'm still waiting to get the black sets cut, so everyone that wanted a black set will have to wait a little longer, sorry.
I'm not pushing, cuz I know better than to look a gift monkey in the mouth, but I just wanted to make sure that I'm not the only one who hasn't gotten the stickers.
-
I'm still waiting to get the black sets cut, so everyone that wanted a black set will have to wait a little longer, sorry.
Good...I still have hope. :angel:
For awhile there, I thought my mailman stole 'em.

I haven't gotten mine either... but like QB said, I don't really care much... not rushing anything.
But no, you're not the only one QB
-
Here's one more in the still waiting category. 8)
-
Friendly bump. :-*
Any update?
-
I haven't been able to cut the black sets (due to a promotion I no longer have easy access to the vinyl plotter) and the everyone's envelope that requested black is sitting somewhere in an unpacked box in my new house. Sorry this got messed up, but so much has happened since I put out the offer. When I do find the envelopes I'll send them out as they are (they've got white sets only)

I can't speak for everyone, but from my point of view, I can't complain about a free offer.
You made a generous offer. Even if I never see my envelope again, I'm out a stamp... no biggie. It was a nice offer, but don't go out of your way on my account. A promotion and a move seems much more important than some stickers :)
