So after seeing all the neon sign posts (Recognizer, Atari, Flynn's, Pacman, Tron, etc) I was surprised no one asked about some iconic vector game images because to me vector games really inspire that glowy effect.

I doubt the guy making the signs takes requests, he's probably overloaded with orders now, but wouldn't it be awesome if he made things like:

An Asteroid
The Red Baron biplane
The Battlezone Tank
The Lunar Lander
The yellow ... ummm .... thing ... you play as in Tempest
The Warrior from Warrior

The Tempest thing would be cool. I asked him for a Sega logo.

Great ideas for signs and starting this thread. If you have pictures of what you want produced, just send them to Gu. He is really easy to work with and seems to have an eye for what will look good in neon. Anybody can do it... and actually if you look at his other eBay auctions he offers custom, one off neon signs. :)

Maybe people can list what they are having made and have Gu start auctions for them? I love supporting people like him! Friendly, talented, great products, and just overall a nice guy.

I wonder how much it would cost to make this in neon? (not the score, just the maze and ... yellow ... thing)

thats funny you mentioned VECTOR games.. i am gonna have GU make me a battlezone with the tank under the name

Forgot to ask... are you going to have him list these on eBay? I think they'd be pretty popular considering how iconic Battlezone is.

BTW cspacefan... did you send Gu anything fom Red Baron yet? I'd love to get the biplane pulling a "RED BARON" banner behind it... even if the sign had to be broken up in two. Like maybe a biplane on one frame with a few lines behind it(like blur lines to make it seem like it's in motion). And then the other frame can continue one of the blur lines and have it lead to the banner. I just picture this sign in my head and drool. :crazy_pilot:


Man... I can't wait to see how creative everyone gets! :beerchug:

For a larger project, somebody could tackle the Space Fury alien!

BTW, I've always called that yellow Tempest shooter "the claw". :)

I could go for a williams or midway neon (either the name or the logo).
 
Wow, great ideas. That Space Fury alien is over the top bad-ass. :beerchug:

To make it easier(ie less colors) on Gu... what do you think... maybe have purple brow & veins, yellow head shape & eye, and red lips & collar. If four colors aren't too much maybe switch the outer eye to white? Or maybe the lips to orange?

And for Super Cobra... having two signs may work. Have one be the Super Cobra ship and then have the other be a missile. That way you could buy as many missiles as you want. I think the only hard thing about that one would be the terrain.

I could go for a williams or midway neon (either the name or the logo).

Malice is selling an exclusive Midway sign on his website like this one...

...except the name "MIDWAY" is below the "M".

A Williams one would be easy... just Google "Williams Electronics Logo" and search the images... here's one I'm partial too...

Remember... *anyone* can email Gu to ask about a sign. He's pretty good with his responses too... either "Yes, I can make that." or "No, I can not make that." :D

Edit: found the sign on Malice's site: http://www.backtothearcade.com/index.php/products/midway-neon-sign $129 isn't bad i might have to get one. I'd still be interested in a williams or two.

Is it possible to add motion like a ship shooting an asteroid and it exploding into some straight pieces or something simple? If it came in 2 pieces it may be able to be made larger as well...
