    Hats off for the Megadrive one, even the Gameboy Color must of been harder than it first looks. Thanks for sharing all your hard work

    Actually the genesis was about as much time, doing the bevel and all the gradients by hand (as they are in different angels etc)

    As for the GBC, was actually easier then it seems. Just had to figure out a new trick with having multiple drop shadows (from the same individual letter hovering above it, but outside of view due to clipping masks) projected on each individual letter. Actually helped me out on some more beveled logos as AI's 3D/extrusion function is kinda crap when not in perspective. Result is not completely accurate, but close enough.

  2. Nice, I like your style! though I'd rather see all those logos without the trademark icons which take away from the look.

    If you need any logos to work with, I've basically covered about every system logo in vector, which could make your life a lot easier making these. Get em here

    @THK These look awesome... as these are super high quality and some of the best I have seen. Great job and thanks for sharing!

    Thanks, got some practice making HS themes :) (especially the Genesis & Megadrive logos were a pain, but with a satisfactory result, unlike more basic redraws of the official logos to be found online)

    Sometimes I got lucky and could find a good version online, but often vector logos for other systems on the same site(s) and google images (filetype:svg) are more of the VectorMagic / AI Image Trace kind, so basically useless.

    And rather than messing around with fonts that are 'close enough' I often find it faster and more accurate to just redraw everything by hand.

    Everything here is in vector except the last one as the bevel effect was very hard to get correct in Illustrator. But overall nearly everything is in glorious vector :)

  5. Hey all, quick introduction: I'm THK, section admin to the HS forum's artwork section and contributing member.

    Once HyperBase was announced I thought the system logos looked a bit low res and set out to make everything high res and vector. Many more systems were added then the list I originally went by and I've redrawn a big chunk of arcade manufacturer/publisher logos whilst I was at it.

    Now I haven't come across them here and since no centralized site/community for creating FE related artwork has yet come to fruition, I'd though I'd share them here with you all.

     

    As I'm totally new to this site, I have yet to read up on uploading policies here, so for now, here's a google drive link (Still WIP, not everything is complete and some minor things might still have to be fixed)

    I've redrawn as much as possible in .ai (drag & drop into PS to set the desired size or run a batch) and there's also 1000px wide .png previews included (for purposes of showing them off in the WIP threads and for ppl who don't want to deal with .ai)

     

    Feel free to use these in other created FE media and wheel sets. And feel free to give me some credit when using these for all my hard work ;)

    Credit/thanks to SpotUp for contributing to this set (a few of his still to be added) and SubZero for his Arcade Classics logo.

    The community is all together as we all want the same thing, to be able to play retro games in a great environment with great artwork, videos and sound. We're all after the same end result and we all contribute where we can that's what makes all these different websites one big community.

    We all have the same goal, and we're all nerds and gamers, but to some people it's like Microsoft vs Mac, Windows vs Linux, Ford vs Chevy, iPhone vs Android, Sony vs Microsoft vs Nintendo, there's always some allegiance someone feels. We've tried hard to make it as open as we can, make an active effort to make a community that is certainly more tolerant and accepting of new and different ideas, but to some extent you can't make everyone see eye to eye and that's fine. Not everyone needs to agree, not everyone will agree, but if you're there trying to contribute and help and you're trying to be a good person at the end of the day then that's all that should matter regardless of where your allegiances lie. I'm sure stuff we've produced or users have produced is being used on other websites, forums, blogs, other front end websites too, and that's fine, at the end of the day we all love video games and that's the point.

    Working on it ;)

  7. Lot of these consoles can be found in high res transparent .png's on google images. Most if not all are from commons.wikimedia.

    Outside of some more obscure systems most are availabe. You might need to add console to the search query and of crouse set file size to Large and add filetype:png to the search query if you want only .png results.
