ATTRACT MODE logo

I don't know if we should - for me arcade is more about scanlines and phosphor glow. Not really about "showing pixels".

Did you mean something like this?

Well yeah you are right about that..

thats looks good though

[verion]

A quick try below.
It can be something like this or I have to do something completely different.

And now something completely different.
It was hard to get to that look - I hope I will remember how to repeat that process
Of course it is lacking "mode" for now.

Tell me what you think. Is it better that way?

[akafox]

the scanline thing? Perfect. We never really saw pixels in old games I guess because the video was so crappy anyway. Guess that's why the "purists" spend so much money to make their cab "look as bad as possible" lol

But yeah I remember scan lines not pixels...I don't remember them till 16 bit actually.

I think it is to dense now - it shows all its glory only on close-up.

Verion-

You know, I've tried to make some cool retro themes but I can never get them quite right. For some reason pulling off a retro feel becomes a daunting task. I even tried to make some 8bit looking themes but same problem. This is the kind of retro art I love:

That's the colors, thick borders and fonts giving it a retro feel IMO

[verion]

brand new version

[akafox]

I see what you mane by seeing it's glory close up. But remember we were never that close to the screen (unless we were home). As for the new one I like it too. Still like the scan lines...but I still use a CRT TV and monitor too

[verion]

Yea, I know that we won't be seeing scanlines like this. I was just showing off a little 

[omegaman]

Verion-

That is more like it. And, like what Liquid said, thick curved lines and vintage colors.

Ha, a bit late to the thread here... great work verion!  That v4 logo looks awesome.

[verion]

Thanks!

I've made slightly different version for white background with darker "beige" color for mode txt

[liquid8d]

That's VERY cool - I'd like the 'mode' to be a little more "aged" beige - and the thick borders might make it look awesome Maybe the mode be a bit bigger also?
