I need help with a marquee
« on: October 21, 2012, 09:28:52 pm »
I am kinda of in a bind. I can not find any good artwork for my FSU theme cab's marquee. I just want the Seminole head next to the words florida state with a garnet background. Using this style font.

I don't have a vector 'Noles head but I have a half decent .png that should get you going in the right direction.

Try this. Font is close but not exact, but apparently the lettering for "Florida State" is custom and not from a particular font.
There are 4 versions included, ai, svg, pdf and a 300dpi png. the Logo is an svg from the Wikipedia page here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:FSU_Seminoles.svg The font is College Bold from here: http://www.pickafont.com/fonts/C/College%20Bold.html

I'd also look around the school's website to see if there are any pdfs that happened to use a vector logo in its content rather than a raster image. Sometimes it is worth the effort.

Edit: Nevermind. Looks like you've already been provided vector files above.

It's all vector. The Logo from Wikipedia is svg (Scalable vector graphics) and the rest was done in Illustrator.

KDOG, That marquee is sized at 24"x10". If you need any adjustments in size let me know.

I remember playing Florida State back in the day at the laundry mat. The version we played gave you free shoes if you beat the high score.  :laugh2:

Better game than Duke University, though. I always thought Crazy Kong was a better bootleg than Duke.
