JIMBO's cab's artwork/theme...

[Jimbo]

OK some hints were given in my project thread but here I'm laying bare all...

The cab's theme will be "NINJA"     Prelim side art is attached below (done by a friend of mine).  I'm thinking of naming the cab simply "NINJA" since everything else I came up with didn't sound right.

Ideas so far are:  cab: black, t-molding: red, banner: black with red "NINJA" in oriental style font.

Not thought about cp overlay yet, although I'm thinking of black buttons and red translucent/lit trackball.

Any comments or suggestions much appreciated!

Hmm, NINJA:
Name Intentionally Not Just Arcade?
NInjas Never Joke Around?
Name Is Not Just an Acronym?
Now In Need of Joystick Accessibility

This may have been done on a commercial cab, I don't know, but for some reason I think this would be really cool.

On the CP overlay, on the joystick part, instead of making little arrows and whatnot you should put ninja throwing stars down. You may even find some with 8 points! Personally, I think that would look pretty awesome.

Oooh yeah I like that idea! 

Something like this might look good...

That is EXACTLY what I was picturing!

Can't wait to see it!

OK I've gone with the name "JIMBO ZONE" as its more personal to me, and everything with the word NINJA in it just didn't sound right!  The cab is still ninja themed though (black with red t-molding).

2 designs I've come up with for the marquee are attached... comments/suggestions are welcome!

I think the fist one has a very "arcadey" feel to the text but it's hard to read and something about the overall look of the second one seems better to me. The only adjustments I'd make to the second one are to try and touch-up some of the letter spacing a bit, it just looks uneven in places, and maybe slightly increase the size of the first letter of each word, or just the J in Jimbo, the little ninja dude separates them OK, although I still see "Jim bozo ne." I'm not sure if Ne is supposed to be your last name or what, but clearly bozo is the middle   

The background and letter coloring is nice and I think it would pop fairly well when lit. The second one seems to be closer to ready for use to me and should only take some minor tuning. Good work.

I would combine the throwing star symbol and the lil' ninja because I realy like them both.
