OK sorry never liked the printed multi-Williams sideart
too buzy, and never looked like an authentic cab enough for my tastes.
So Ive been working on a little something trying to simplify things
the main problem is colors.
Most of the williams cabs were only stencils in a 2 color scheme (not counting cab color)

and to make this just as easy you really want to keep stencils to around 3 which most others do (Pac, burgertime, etc.)
and with so many variations of multi boards out there
some with MoonP some not. some with Sini, some not, etc.
so most of the indivial logos and charectors have been left off
and heres what Ive got so far

The advantage of the stencils they can really be custumized to fit the size, shape and even color scheme of the cab.
 
I hate the font... and Robotron isn't represented (which is one of the more important games on the boards)...

I DO like the Stargate version with the border... again, different font and somehow get Robotron represented in there...
 
Oh... and it's Williams Multigame... not Multi-Williams (well, the arcade shop is Multi-Williams, but I digress).

I am not a big fan of the font either, but Robotron is represented with the stripes at the bottom of the artwork. Definitely subtle. Maybe if you could add the '2084' in somewhere using the red and the white. And possibly red and white for the Robotron stripes.
 
ahh Im always forgetting the Williams MutliGame word order
yeah I wasnt really set on the font but this makes things easier
I can make robotron more obviuos and add a color and addtional deisgn work
trying to stay away from having to add specfics names, logos, etc.
as a 3 color with blue

need to tweak some of the elements to size and rotations and
a small 4 color could be added to keep joust white I suppose
 
I hate stenciling ;)

You made an EXCELLENT point. Stencils make it possible to use what ever colors trip your trigger. I'd certainly like to see more MW cabs that aren't painted black. But then again I suppose of some one goes so far as to use the original color - they'd probably be more prone to using the original artwork. I dunno.........

And it seems to me most people (except Frizz) refers to these as Multi Williams - not Williams Multi ;)
 
I like this most recent one quite a bit. I also agree on the border around the art with the Stargate cab. Looks nice.
 
The stargate one rocks... I would love a set of these when they are finished. By far the best to date that I have seen.

I like this one.

Any word on the D2K serial plates?
 
Yeah Deadly your right, this way you could go with really whatever color pallete
you wanted and if using a different cab Ill be able to resize and custom fit to any cab.

A couple of revisions
The defender cab has limitations due to its size and shape
unlike Stagate which has a little more area to work in and less cut angles

this is for those not sticking with orginal deicated art for one particalar game
and would be that multi alternative that hopefully looks better than those vinyl printed art sets. :D

Was wondering about those too. Oh any yes the art looks nice. I seem to remember prOk had also kicked around an idea for a williams multi game stencil. I also thought his art looked very nice. Don't think he ever moved forward with it though.
 
ive been considering turning my stargate into a multi-williams. Sides are already painted black. Would definitely be interested in a set of stencils if these become available.

I really like this last stargate :D
any way to show it on a red cab? I tried a 30 sec hack at it in PS, but no skilz and swapping red and black didn't look good.

cheers

I am liking the new Stargate much better. What is the reason for the star for M and W? Perhaps just the stock circle would work better?
 
These look great. Thanks for your hard work! I'm making a MW now and would be interested. I'm in a Joust cab though. How hard would it be to make that variation as well?
 
I agree, loose the blue on the defender, and I think the defender set needs something more,
Speaking for myself I like the red and yellow splotchs / streaks that defenders have, how about paying subtle honor to the original design for each cab the set is made for.
 
The beauty with the stencils is you can paint it what ever color youd like
but here are a few other variations.
personally mine will be a defender cab and yeah Defneder definitly needed a little something thats what made the Stargate work so well since the cab allready had a decorative border.
and a quick Joust cab added as well but again not much to add there
would also fit robotron just as well.
