Title: Need opinions/suggestions on cocktail concept "Arcade All-Stars"
Post by: AlanS17 on June 29, 2005, 09:32:57 pm

I'm going to be building a Midway cocktail and this is the start of what I've been thinking to run down the sides (where the logo goes).

My cocktail is gonna be called Arcade All-Stars and I was planning a "stars and stripes" sort of theme. It's a good name so it's probably already been taken. I didn't research.

I'm trying to come up with something retro/classic because it's going to be for classic games.

Anyways, the letters are black in this picture, but wouldn't be in the final version because the background would be black. I'll take any suggestions because I'm not a creative person. This was a quick mock-up sort of deal. I just need feedback!

Oh yeah, I specifically need font suggestions.

Rotate the star either more or less -- right now, it looks like it's upside down.

Well right now it is upside down. I could just as easily turn it back around, though.

Let's see you do something better.  ;)

Seriously, though, if someone has a totally different idea for this "Arcade All-Stars" concept or a way to improve what I've got so far, go ahead and post it or explain it.

Whatever font you chose try in all in capitals.

I was thinking about that, too. And maybe putting some sort of italic slant on them. Maybe a drop shadow.

I want to draw attention to the star, but I haven't figured out a great way to do that yet. Ideas?

Check out the fonts at Blambot.com.  I think you will find something with a little more sizzle.
