Help me design a marquee for "Metalli-cade"
« on: March 27, 2005, 02:19:01 pm »
My cab has a chrome/metal theme to it, so I'm going with the name "Metalli-cade". The control panel will have diamond plate vinyl on it, but I'm not sure what to do about the marquee. Something that goes along with the metallic theme. The marquee will have to be 23.75" x 7.875". Here's a pic of my cab to give you an idea of what it looks (will look) like.

Is this the type of thing you're looking for?

This is just a 5-minute job to see if this is the direction you're going, so let me know if it's on the right track or what you would want to be different.

Yeah, that looks really cool, especially the font. The only problem I see is that the pattern inside the letters is like the background. It might be better if it had diamond plate or bolts in it, almost as if the letters looked like they were actually made of metal. Other than that pretty cool.

Sorry, loddle. I got sick and didn't make it here for a few days.

Nice work, Snaake!
