Vs Balloon Fight Marquee. It's time.

I am here! What can I do?

I'll help in anyway I can. Really want one of these since my Red Tent is mostly a dedicated Balloon Fight Machine (and Wrecking crew too!)

Damn it, I need to get mine working again. Monitor keeps shutting down. Winter project...
 
Here are some more pics, from ArcadeFlyers, to give an idea of the look and layout. Gunsmoke posted the marquee from PAR. Here is a shot of the original cab. Also, maybe the wording on the back of the Vs flyer, can be a guideline for we write in the cloud. OTT did a good job on the RT card with this.

"Here we ARE in the Balloon Fight thread and I'm wicked excited to INTRODUCE, Sailor Johnny, to the GROUP, you muthas"! :)

Glad you are here, John. You like to create things. Maybe brainstorm with OTT, Bongo, or whoever about designs. Likes and dislikes. Any input is great.


BTW: We have the Father of Balloon Fighters here, folks. Without Johnny, this wasnt possible.
 
Just my .02¢ , use the flyer.. some of the work was done, for instance just grabbed the theme from hyperspin, and just vector these files:

Just a reminder that all those pieces have already been reproduced in vector. Illustrator files can be found on the first post of the Nintendo Vs. Artwork Project under "Artwork."

here's a start of one. Not sure what the copy might say or what the control scheme would be on the bottom right.

Here's one version of the red tent card that I did a few weeks ago in Raikus' thread: http://ideaity.com/workspace/vs-balloonfight-ic.pdf

Looking to design a marquee for an upright now...

That looks really good! No need for me to proceed. Yours rocks!

Is there a high-res version of this? I would be happy to print this and use it on my RED TENT.

Not sure about the text you used for the copy. Seems a little too modern.

Where have you been for the past couple weeks? The RT card is done already. ;) I already have it installed on my cab.

Oh, and for this marquee... I have all of the pieces I was using saved on the pc in my daughter's room. It used to be in the family room but she claimed it when we got laptops. Since she's already in bed I'll grab what I can this weekend although this whole project may be complete by then. :)

Thanks! The PDF in the link is 300dpi and it is sized for the red tent.

Yeah, I'm not super crazy about the text either, but I was mimicing the font on the vs. Pinball card that Mod did.
 
Alright, you guys got me now. I hate it when I get roped in and start on stuff like this immediately!! :rolleyes: Using the current art and looking at the tiny image of the marquee- it's not perfect...

Yeah, I guess I am a fool. I had no idea! This instruction card rocks!
 
Am I on the right track? I'm not going to completely repro the original as it's really hard to see the details, but it will be a "good likeness".

What do you guys want to see in the white cloud? The same instructions that I put on the red tent card?

I like what you've done, so far. It's where Ben had started out. Get the joystick in the clouds and something along the same lines for text. Maybe tweak the colors, on the Fighter, is all. I'll check back tomorrow. Thanks to all who've chimed in so far.
 
To clarify, OTT, I actually prefer the color scheme you chose on the RT card, for the fighter. I dig that orange on the pants. Goes with the original flyer. Looks good.
