Title: Marquee -> opinions, first draft
Post by: DannyH on August 17, 2005, 07:27:41 pm
This is the first draft of my marquee, I knocked it up in about 10 minutes and i still want to add a few logos like MAME, NINTENDO, SEGA, PSX and maybe DC to it as well as some starts and a few other things maybe.

What do you think (P.S I am useless at graphics this is infact the most detailed thing I have ever done in GIMP :D)

The bright part of the flare actually has wood behind it so it wont be too bright

i actually dont think it looks that bad right now. Nice and simple. but, i think adding logos would be a mistake, i hate marquees with little logos all over the place  ;)

Its a bit plain but because the name isnt exactly a game its hard to think what to add from here. Any ideas or suggestions would be great

maybe more planets?  maybe have them casting shadows on each other, might look cool to not black out that moon with a shadow, but make it darker...I don't know.

Looks pretty cool though.

*Tip* Use as few logos as possible: for example
Midway, Nintindo, DCS sound, Rare are small on that marquee
