Title: Redesigning my web site
Post by: dr galaga on August 05, 2005, 03:18:34 pm
I'm working on redesigning my gameroom web site.
I narrowed my logo down to two designs - which one do you guys like better?
They are at http://www.mr-barber.com/arcade80s/ (plus there is a picture of where I got the idea from).

Give version A one vote for me.  Both look great, but I like the brighter colors.  :blues:

I don't see any difference between the two.

Version A has the word Arcade a little lower and Version B uses Pac-Man as the letter C.

Version A.  I think the font looks more 80's ish without the pac man IMO

Drop the extra shadowing on the pacman, and 'B' works for me

I like the pac man style concept. Can you use more vintage lettering from different games?

Yeah I agree with Terry...
 You are on the right track... I'd keep playing with different fonts (Didn't see a Galaga letter yet)
I might play with it Monday when I'm back at work with a little more access to fonts and 6 other Artist!Ha
But it looks Good!

Thanks guys.  I'm looking at doing more of an arcade look instead of an arcade game look (which I was thinking about doing at first).  The Cafe 80's was a tribute to 80's eating and since everything I have is from the 80's period, it's kind of like a tibute to my 80's stuff (for those of you who didn't know, the Cafe 80's was from Back To The Future 2 - which took place in 2015, which is a heck of a lot closer to us than when it was made - 1989 :D ).
Yea, I do have some video game fonts like this:

One of the arcade's that we had in my hometown growing up was called the "Pinball Wizard". Oh... Simpler times.. :drinkers:
