DOS76 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 For a 4 player build it would be awesome to use the LB colors for each player I don't think it would work as good for a two player setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 Yeah, that is a great idea. When we design a new upright, maybe. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imdavid555 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I think thats it! Rincewind nailed it! Looks absolutely awesome :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rincewind Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 So glad the community got involved it's turned out much better because of it, now into the marquee any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 LaunchBox & BigBox, in a good font (Maybe Jason can relax on his font requirements), with the Colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 We'll need branding up there, yeah, but I'm still not overly fond of the multi-colored text. Not sure what would be best, but Big Box with the logo for the O might be a better option. We do need the LaunchBox branding text somewhere though too. But yes, I can be flexible with the font and stuff. I'll try and think up some more ideas... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Maybe you could hold a logo contest. I think the logo could use a little freshening up I hope that doesn't offend anyone who designed it but maybe someone here with design talent could come up with something absolutely stunning using things like gradients and outline coloring to improve over the solid single color text. Make a disclaimer that you hold final decision on whether you want to change the logo or not as the contest may not result in anything you like.

Jason Carr Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 Yeah, I'd like to avoid design contests these days since we got quite a bit of backlash over the t-shirt design contest we did a while back. We'll let Rincewind run with it and see what he comes up with, though. From what I've seen, it'd definitely be worth hiring Rincewind for future design work like that, though not sure if he'd be interested in the work.

Jason Carr Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 Alright! Rincewind has some awesome marquee examples for us: Personally I much prefer the first and second one. Thoughts/ideas guys? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I like the top and the multi-color logo best. Maybe the two Logo's act more as a background transparently and more iconic game characters on top similar to the top? Random thoughts. Fantastic as always. You might be our go to artist to have on retainer if that's something you'd consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 I definitely like the concept of the game characters in the marquee; let's run with the top one. My only concern is that the LaunchBox text might be a bit too small, though I'm not sure if there's anything we can really do about that. I guess something that might work would be to remove the LaunchBox box logo from the top and just make the LaunchBox and Big Box text bigger; I don't think it would be too much of a problem if it overlapped the game characters a bit. Thoughts? Also, I should probably know what the character on the left is; I recognize him but I can't put a finger on who it is. Is there a different character that's more prominent that we might be able to use instead? Maybe Yoshi to stay with the animal theme? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 He's from Ghosts N' Goblins. Also, the text looks smaller in that preview image, but what does it look like at full size and printed out? The text might be plenty big. If we do go with the first (or even with the multi-color version as I described), maybe the background's can match the sides? It should all be printed at a certain transparency level anyways for LED's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 Ah, that's right. I'd actually rather not match the background up I think for the marquee; it might be a little bit overboard. We do have to keep in mind the LED light that is going to shine through the marquee, but it's actually printed without transparency and the light just shines through the plexiglass and the vinyl and it works just fine.

Rincewind Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Yes it's Sir Arthur from Ghosts N' Goblins, I'll take him out and add Yoshi. I will mock it up with and without the box on top of the launchbox text (sure it will be readable in both sizes) as for the background, it is the same as the sides just hard to see in a scaled down version. When the marquee lights up the colours will bleach out slightly so a big contrast is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I actually like Arthur there myself. :P I would love more RPG characters though myself, but that's me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 Awesome, thank you @Rincewind. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 And @Rincewind pulls through again! ;) I prefer the second one with Crash on the left and the bigger text. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I think the text on the second one would need to be colored up a bit then. I don't know... I just like the colors of our cube and I think it would look great with LED's behind it. Not that the second one is lacking color, but it's lacking our specific color.
