Title: Opinion needed for my marquee pls
Post by: Martijn on August 26, 2008, 02:53:21 am

Hi,

I have been working on some artwork for my cab.

Any opinions on these 3 types of marquee?

I still dont know a propper name  :angry:

So i have a dedicated sf4 cab costum design or a mame cab or something i called the "insert coin arcade"

I don't see the need for a SFIV one, especially with MAME on it. That won't be MAMEable for a VERY long time.

On the MAME marquee, you can't really see anything that's behind MAME. The glow effect is obscuring most everything.

As for the last, the name is just meh. I'm sure there are plenty of cabs with the same name.

All that said, I do like the orange. ;D

1- The MAME logo is way too big.
2- If you like SF then go with it but again way to big...u may want to shrink it about 1/4 it's size...maybe
3- Not too original with the name...maybe think about it a while more...have a beer or something

On all...
The background is too busy...maybe some shadows from all sides can create a more simple bgk...just my thought though...

Ginsu...what u mean with not going to stay mameable?

Your great-grandchildren might get to play it, but we'll be long gone by the time a PC can pull that one off in MAME.

I like the yellow letters with the orange background, but maybe change the type of lettering you're using? The classics looks fine, but not the mame lettering IMO.

Either way, these last versions are better then the first batch you had.

I like the concept cab...if you send me ur files I can come up with a more similar sun burst that is cleaner and better for the eyes...
