Title: Custom Namco Classics Collection Vol.1 & 2 marquees and CP
Post by: motorfish on March 21, 2006, 01:18:33 pm
Still a work in progress. I had to draw the Xevious and Mappy graphics from scratch, since I couldn't find any clean examples online.

The real Namco Classics Collection marquee stinks, so I wanted to make my own.

This marquee will fit all Frogger and Namco "Galaga/pac" style machines.

looks pretty good but there is something wrong with the sizing of the galaga logo...looks bigger than the rest on the height...also, i think the other galaga logo might blend better

but that is just my expert opinion  :cheers:

I resized the Galaga graphic on the printed version. The marquee printed amazingly. I'll post pics of the completed cab soon.

Is there a preferred non-vector file format that I can upload these onto the Arcade Art website?

The CP will/should fit any Frogger/Gunforce cabinet.

The problem with that is that all of the logos he used were straight off the marquees for the actual games, as best as I can tell anyways.

The different galaga logo might throw the whole thing off.

Also... Galaga should stand out! ;)

These look really nice, but just out of curiosity, why are you keeping the Bally/Midway and Atari logos next to each game's logo? It makes the art look just slightly less 'clean,' and since Namco developed all of the games (Atari and Midway were just the US distributors) it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to keep them on there. It's akin to, say, giving Disney credit for Miyazaki's films because they own the rights to publish them in the US.

Of course, if you're just doing it for nostalgic reasons (because you remember seeing those logos on each game's cabinet or whatever), that's cool. I just wanted to make sure you weren't confused about who actually created the games.
