Title: SNES logo font?
Post by: dblume on April 12, 2006, 11:44:54 am

Hi everyone,

I'm building my first cab and I need some help with my marquee.  I'm making a  bartop with the color scheme of a super nintendo (purple buttons and t-molding, black joys and light and dark gray paint) and I want to make the marquee look like the SNES logo except with a different word: Blumencade Entertainment System (my last name is Blumenthal).  Does anyone know where I can find the font of that logo?  Thanks for your help.

Derek

PS I'm already aware of the fact that building a MAME cab with attributes of a console isn't a very popular choice but this thing is gonna be SHARP. ;)

your best bet is to ask this in the arwork forum since the logo forum is rarely used.....

Thanks for the input on the forum change and the links.  I've downloaded the two suggested fonts and will check them out later this afternoon.

haldir:

those zip files you suggested were actually roms files that displayed fonts when run through an snes emulator (smc files).  They can't be used as windows fonts.  Thanks for the help though!
I did download the vectorized logo and I supposed I'll mess around with that instead.

Try a screen capture then trace them in Illustrator, edit in Photoshop.... hope that helps...

I'm actually having better luck modifiying the vectorized logo, but thanks for the suggestion.

For anyone interested, here's a picture of my new logo for my marquee.  The letters that weren't in the original logo were created from pieceing together parts of existing letters (for instance the B was made from an R and part of a D).  The color matches the scheme of my cab-to-be.  It will also probably have a light gray background when all is said and done.
