Title: New Marquee Needs Opinions
Post by: The 414 on January 22, 2010, 05:23:48 pm
I am looking to create a new marquee for my cab. i want something old but yet with a new twist. So i came up with this. Everything is vectorized !! that was not easy. What do you think it needs? For a name i was thinking more of a donkey kong anniversary edition with side art and all.

I dig it, but Maybe less stripes? It seems a little busy w/ all the "rays" and makes me a little dizzy. As for the actual characters, they look awesome, nice job!  :cheers:

I like the stripes.
Perhaps the placement of the characters could be better. Wouldn't it make more sense thematically if Kong was between Mario & the princess?
So from left to right - Mario, Kong, Princess.

/2 cents

I like the idea of having "Paulina" peaking out from behind DK with her arm stretching towards "Jumpman".  Have DK stiff arming "Jumpman"

The orignal idea is nice - too many stripes tho which detracts from the characters .... personal preference of course ;)

The blue and red rays are too stark in contrast to each other. If you had more complimentary colors (like yellow/orange or yellow/green, blue/green or blue/purple, red/purple or red/orange), it might be easier to look at.
