VAntAGE Emulator logo...

[lokki]

Hi,
I'm in the planning stages of building a Coctail Cabinet meant to run VAntAGE (Vertical ANTiquated Arcade Game Emulator). But I just realized that there is no official logo for it to use as artwork for my cab.

Any volunteers willing to design the VAntAGE logo.

Here's a quickly. Went with an old pixelated font to give it that antiquated look.

[lokki]

Looks good.
I was thinking of something that had the same case VAntAGE.

[mahuti]

Nah. That would look bad. Just cause the authors have no taste, doesn't mean you don't have to.

[JoyMonkey]

It uses lowercase nt because the Ant part stands for Antiquated, and calling it VAAGE just wouldn't do (sounds like a feminine hygene product  ).
I'll try doing something with the nt, the letters aren't kerned right as they are either.

Joy,

I think he meant to capitalize the letters "VA AGE" and leave the "nt" in lower case.

[JoyMonkey]

Here's some retro looking variants. Just noticed that the font looks a little too much like Grant Theft Auto though...

Joy,

Can you post a shot of the upper and lower case VAntAGE but with the original "old pixelated" font?

Thanks,

Joy,

Can you post a shot of the upper and lower case VAntAGE but with the original "old pixelated" font you used at the top of this thread?

Thanks,

Bump

Joymonkey,

If it isn't too much trouble...

Hi,
I think I like the first style a little better as well. Not sure about the retro (pixelated) look of the fonts.



Unfortunatly my artistic skills are Nil

Hopefully I'll find time to rework that first option tonight. The font I used only has lowercase letters, so I'll need to redraw the capitals and re-kern everything. I haven't forgotten, just need to find time at home to do it.

Here's another. I was trying to make the logo feel "vertical" as well as being something that could go on a marquee or down the side of the screen. Is it too comic-book? Colors like everything else are subject to change.

[hsr]

That's nice.  I like the use of the upsidedown "V" as the "A".

If that font supports lower case, can you post a shot with the "nt" in lower case?

Thanks,

[Crowquill]

The font doesn't support lower-case. It's all upper-case except for "small caps" style vowels.  I actually edited the letters pretty heavily. The V and G are the only ones that are as they appear in the font.

I'll try to get a few other ideas together once I get home from work tomorrow.

I like it very much, Crowquil!

[hsr]

Bump.

Anyone still working on this?
