Vs Balloon Fight Marquee. It's time.

[Mindl3ss]

This is shaping up well.

Although I don't have Balloon Fight at the moment, I consider myself a Nintendo guy.

I can't really do much to contribute, but I'll be here checking up

Here is the only piece I have online (not locked up in my sleeping daughter's room). This is the 1st draft I did and shared with NotreCaine way back in... well, can't find the uploaded date so it was whenever he and I started talking about this. Anyways, it's rough... but I'm pretty sure I spent quite awhile getting good color matches from the original flyer.

Oh, and the white "cloud" on the bottom was more to show where it would be and not anywhere near what it would look like in the end. This is almost embarrassing to post.

(edit) Now that I'm looking back at a few other files I found saved in my email I'm not 100% sure where I color matched the characters/sky/lettering from. A couple of the sources I have seem more vibrant that what I used. Oh well... I'm sure OTT will have this completed in no time anyways so no worries.

OK guys- back to the original colors for the characters from the RT card and background, logo and cloud colors from the marquee on the flyer... Opinions??

 

[bongoben]

Very nice OTT

This is fucking awesome! I don't have an UR anymore, so RT cards will have to do for me. You guys rock. Thanks for doing this.

Nothing else to add here

T......... I thought of you right off the bat, as a tried and true Nintendo guy!

 

[NotreCaine]

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

Just my thoughts, I actually prefer the color scheme on the fish, that Blkdog produced. That purple is bad ass! Nice, John!

If we agree to keep the same color scheme, as the RT instruction card, I wont mind. I'm very proud of all of our efforts here, especially OTT, for producing artwork, so quickly!

 

[OldTymeToys]

Cool- glad you guys like it!

Can someone confirm the size to be 22 3/8 x 5 7/8 inches?

 

[NotreCaine]

I don't have an UR anymore..............Thanks for doing this.

Doesnt matter. I had you in mind, Jow. I knew, that down the road, guys like you, Phet, Wodnad, Qbass, may in fact want to be able to pick one up.

I think that is close. I had 22 1/4 x 5 1/4, from memory

I searched a few threads and found that size, but I'm not sure. If someone can measure their vs. marquee, I will email the file to Raikus so he can have it available ASAP.

 

[OldTymeToys]

You guys decide on the fish color...

 

[Raikus]

Aren't these the angled marquees as well (for DualSystem)? What's the angle of cut on the corners for those? Plus, we'll probably need to "bleed" the edges further than the dimension for whoever is going to get them printed. At least we do for print. Maybe someone with marquee printing experience can come in here and correct me if I'm wrong

Edit: I think the purple looks better on the gradient fade background.

I'll add bleed to the final size if necessary, but if you're just going to get these inkjet printed, I'm not sure bleed is necessary.

 

[jow]

I like the purple better, too.

Will RT cards be made up from these as well?

RT cards have been available for a few weeks now: http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=152706, http://ideaity.com/workspace/vs-balloonfight-ic.pdf

I'm guessing you'll need me to print you some...

I have a NOS plexi for the Uni, Jon. I can measure it and let you know.

Rob.......... I have a piece of NOS glass for the Dualsystem. I'll measure that one, when i get home.

Yep, completely missed that thread. That blows, I woulda had you send 'em with my 2 key chains I just got.

 

[Mike29]

You guys Rock!!

Really good work. Will measure my dualsystem angled marquee as well and provide.

I've never had marquees for the same game on the dualsystem. For the same game are they mirrored or simply repeated? EDIT: I just looked back at the flyer. They're mirrored. I frankly don't care, and as a beggar, would not expect anyone to do that if it is time consuming, or harder to print. But something to think of.

Will get dimensions for both angeled panels this afternoon and post.
