I've been trolling along for quite some time now. I now officially have something to announce. I have completed my basic design specifications regarding the essential geometry of my project. The Gaming Legacy will be a Showcase Style Cabinet w/ Japanese influences in a 4 Base piece project. One of the first things I am doing is adding a second marquee, both will run down the side of the monitor as if it were a banner. Here are the marquee designs.
The first one being Gaming in a Katakana Font
-
The second saying Legacy in the same font and mirrored Background
-
Any thoughts?
-
I think that's actually hiragana. ;D
-
You are 100% correct. Dude, I cannot believe I wrote that.
-
Is that the Japanese word for "gaming legacy?"
It's definitely not the phonetic "gemingu regashi"
-
Its definitely not at all. I basically took a font and wrote it in english and then saw what popped out. Looked cool so I was gonna use it. However I am seeing more and more that I should put it correctly.

The janglish version would look something like the following... though it's in hiragana. I think the proper way to display foreign words in Japanese would be to use the katakana... but whatever. I like the look of hiragana better.

Rock on. I'll see if I can duplicate that.
