Help choose my control panel artwork
« on: April 29, 2007, 03:40:32 pm »
For everyone that has been following my thread I have narrowed my choices for artwork down to two.  I appreciate everyones input and suggestions as they have been very helpful.  These are my two choices so its going to be one or the other.  I  know alot of you wanted me to put cars with the black trackball.  I liked the cars idea, but I don't really care for it with the tread background.  If I had used the street background I probably would have used it.  Anyway please vote one which one you like t he best and tell me why.

Thanks,
Stephen

Option 1



Option 2

Or a translucent red ball so it looks like a bloody splat with frog legs sticking out.

Just an idea, since I have an extra red ball that Dweebs0r gave me, you could have it for free.

Well I think the translucent is out now since I would have to do the extra wiring on the powersupply.  I'm also shooting for one cord out of the box since it will be on the coffee table most of the time.  I appreciate the offer though.

I think this one is like $30 from Happ and Divemaster or Ponyboy could sell it.

I have never seen anyone use one of these

Yeah I know I made a thread to see if anyone had one I could see in their control panel but no luck lol.  I think the colors will be close enough though

Well I guess I'm in the minority here, but I think that there already enough frogs on the panel and if the colors of the art and TB are close but wrong they will look wrong.  The only way I would think the green ball w/frog option was good would be if you were going to get the ball first and then match the CP green to it.  I'm alone in this opinion so far, but it's my opinion none-the-less.

Either one will look good, but if the colors don't match then black is better.

I definately see your point with the colors I will take that into consideration.

I wasn't paying attention at first and was thinking you were going to put a joystick over there on the right.  I was thinking how odd that would look to have a frog with a stick coming out of his ass...   :dizzy:

ANYWAY, now that my head's on straight, I went with green.  Basically I just think it would look better than black.  Hopefully the colors will match up.  Good luck!

 :cheers:

I voted for #2 but think it would look good with a green trackball. I just don't like the "frog ass" look but think the green ball is schweet.

...I think that there already enough frogs on the panel...
I agree with bfauska.  Although the "ran-over" frog idea is funny, I thinks there's anough frogs.

...Either one will look good, but if the colors don't match then black is better...
For the TB color, I would go with black.
If you go with the green one, wait to get your new ball to match the color on the overlay artwork.

Looking good  :applaud:
