Working on gamelist & control type icons. Anybody want them?
« on: January 16, 2004, 10:49:05 pm »
I'm making some icons for use in mamewah for my cab, but I'd imagine there wouldn't be any trouble using them in other FEs as well :)
If anybody wants them, let me know and I'll make sure to upload them somewhere when they're done.

Those are pretty sharp.  Good show.

If you are taking suggestions....
You might could add one for PC games.  Or yoke games even.  Definitly one for gun games.

Wow, very nice and clean.  Hopefully will continue to look that way once you 'zoom in'.  This is all vector art, right?

Added the yoke and gun games, but I've had a heck of a time figuring out how to represent PC games.
Stuff I've thought of:
  • Keyboard and/or mouse - Works, but I think that most people that play PC games on their cabs use arcade controls
  • Standard computer and monitor image - Same, doesn't make much sense in the context of a cabinet
  • Windows logo - Works, I guess, but not everybody's using windows (and a lot of the people that are try to hide it)
Any suggestions/contradictions?

For PC games, I would go for the monitor/cpu icon, or perhaps just the letters "PC"

I havn't finished them yet. Would this be for your own use with Kymaera, or to be distributed with it?

Nice stuff dude!

I'll be interested in those when finished!

BTW, i'm making a "custom" marquee for a 1941 dedicated cab, i'm thinking about to share the original (*.PSD) file, i'm sure that it will be pretty big! Where can i store it?? :)

Whoopsie, forgot about these ;D

Let me know if you can't view them for whatever reason.
I really don't think it'll come up, but please don't distribute these without giving credit and a link to www.upup.us, and do not distribute these with any non-freeware software (including commercial software, shareware, commercial demos/trials, or anything else with a fee/charge etc.).

Could not open them in Illustrator 10. Said they were done in a newer version of Illustrator, but it did open something (that looked corrupt).

Photoshop did open it (as rastered file)

Perhaps the files just needs to be compressed as a .zip. Usually Illustrator's not so picky.


Thanks anyway,

Ahh, thanks. Wasn't sure that'd work, updated the link.
