ORIGINAL POST BELOW...


A couple people mentioned wanting a "TRON" sign... any interest in a sign similar to this...

If so... what color? I was thinking blue... but Gu suggested yellow or gold maybe? Maybe the border one color and "TRON" a different color? I don't know... I'm color blind so whatever. :D


Have I mentioned how unbelievably happy and thankful Gu is? He is shocked at how much interest there is in these signs. I don't want to overload him... but I also want to strike while the iron is hot. He wants top thank all my "game friends"... so thanks from Gu!

Happy Thanksgiving, :beerchug:

As a single color, blue would be the way to go. I think trying to go multiple colors or doing anything fancy would be too much of a good thing...albeit if he could do those few lines behind the TRON in green, like the marquee, would be pretty cool.
 
Is he the one doing the other Tron neon? That's awesome and if the price is close to the other then even better. If I had more money in the budget I'd be all over it.

I am partially colorblind too, but my vote is for TRON to be blue with a border of yellow, gold, or green.
 
I know the original I've seen was red, but I'm thinking blue would look best.. either way it would be a sure purchase for me if the price was decent.

I would be so in for these if he decided to make them.

I'd go with a red boarder with TRON in blue. If he could make them like the one in the picture above that khabbi posted - even better - but I'd guess the price and shipping would make it too expensive for most of us.
 
How much more would it cost to do a two-color sign? I'd be the demand would be high enough for it if the price was reasonable.. especially if it was a one time run.

A Flynn's one would be way cool too! :)

I would think given the size limitations of shipping overseas both of the
images presented so far wouldnt work. They are both to large.

A better option for those looking for a Tron sign would be....

Blue "TRON" and red bordering sounds pretty cool to me... but I can also see trying to use the marquee coloring... I'll send him that marquee picture and see what he thinks.

And WAAAAY COOL on the Flynn's sign. :beerchug:

I looked at a bunch of pictures of the original and thought it'd be way too complicated(and expensive). Looks like it's five tubes per letter and at least a two or three colors per letter. I really hope it's doable!


And no offense Malice... there is just something about the new Tron logo that I don't like. I have been looking at a bunch of Tron things lately and the more I see it the more I don't care for it. BUT, you know Gu's email addy and since he makes the signs as ordered having two choices would be very cool. :)

No offense taken.. I agree the new tron logo sucks compared to the
original. I am just saying the "Home of Tron" and "flynns arcade" neons
would be to large to ship overseas. I dont have any interest in a Tron neon.
I want to stick to neons that appeal to a larger audience and dont piss off
disney:) That said I'd love to make a Flynns Arcade neon. I played with
the flynns one the other day and reducing the complexity to make it doable just didnt look right in my opinion.
 
Okay, I'm definately NOT an artist.:D But, I'm wondering if the original TRON color scheme would be too busy in neon?
