This is OK, but I don't like the logo like this...to modern...

THIS is IT ! But me wants blue....I don't know why but I associate blue with the Atari logo, at least more than green or red....

Or how about this great Midway:

These were all copy-pasted from this thread at KLOV:

It's from the same guy who build the Tron Recognizer neons.
In fact, reading this thread, the guy seems to be able to do any design you send him....pretty freaking cool....
I love that Atari one, but I need cash for other stuff right now ! :)

The Sega logo works very well as Neon:

Sega looks really great :shock:
found myself a nice Christmas gift I think ;D

FF wachten met bestellen ! Lees je PM ! Scheelt geld....
Guys, PM me if you want to order ! (Saves money !)

Copied from the KLOV thread:
Ok guys... GREAT NEWS!!! All of the signs that rose in price by $20 are now back down $20 for KLOVers!!! All you have to do is pay the new price and put "Refund $20 please" in the notes section of your PayPal payment.
Once Gu gets the payment and sees that he will refund you $20.
He said that shipping time will be 15-20 business days for these which translates into standard air mail shipping from Hong Kong.
So... no more complaints about him being ridiculous, 'k?
[edit]This refund would be for signs bought from Gu via eBay... not sure about signs bought from Malice or anywhere else...
-
pretty awesome. Might be interested too
20$ for such a SEGA sign isnt much. It looks really great! :spaceace: :spaceace:
-
They're not $20, you get $20 rebate.... but IMHO they are already very affordable...
-
Interesting. Is there a group buy?
-
Mmmm, I dont think it would be very useful in this case. Shipping is directly from Hong Kong and prices wont be much lower I think. Also, the higher the value of the entire shipment, the more chance of customs fees, tax etc.....
By the way not sure if its clear, but you can also mail him a design of your own for a custom neon !
-
By the way if anyone wants this neon....

...I am selling mine. Only one careful owner, low number of burning hours...
-
stupid question maybe, but on which voltage do these chines neon signs run?
-
Not 100% sure but I think they are "universal" so anything between 100 and 250VAC.....

I got my Tron Recognizer (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=3166.msg43073#msg43073) from that guy...
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/tron/Tron_Recognizer_Neon_5.jpg)
I got it with an US plug, and a simple passive 'power adapter' for EURO plug... no problem at all!
I'll definitively buy other stuff for him :)

I just ordered this as my (belated) birthday present :D
Blue........it had to be blue.....I don't know why really........the Atari logo never really had an official color. It was most white or black depending on what it was printed. And of course there is the awesome "ANTIC display list" colored one, but that was only "on screen"
(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7Xaua1SGvw8/UHboyU9VY7I/AAAAAAAAKlk/inRU5G_Wbxc/s1600/atari-logo.png)
Anyway......I "THINK" that it may be due to the Bladerunner Atari signs which were all blue....
Whatever the reason, I think the blue one looks the coolest IMHO.....now......we wait for delivery....
-
Thinking about this......Atari must have paid a nice sum to have those advertisements in Bladerunner right ?
So..........why was there never a Bladerunner game ? No arcade game, no console game....weird.
(don't care going off-topic a bit....it's my thread anyway ;))
Also: about all the companies in the movie do not exist (really) anymore: Atari, Bell, Pan-Am.....seems like it was a bad move to be in this movie :) Coca-Cola escaped it seems ;)
Another thought: Bladrunner is set in 2019.....only 6 years to go.....
-
What's the size of the neons ?
So,e are very cool !

At least, there is a C64 game.(not a good one though).

Mmmm, I think I now understand why Atari didn't do any Bladerunner themed game ;)
It would have been damn hard to make a game about Bladerunner in 1982 for sure....this is even from 1985.

This should give you an idea of size:

Last friday, the mail-man rang at the door and I happened to have a day off. He had a big box...and the first 10 seconds I actually failed to remember that I had ordered something.... ;D

As you can see, it was very well packed.They use loads and loads of tiny "papers" which feel very soft. They are EVERYWHERE and getting them out takes a bit of time, you have to be careful not to damage that tubes.
I had to move up the center tube a bit to make the logo match better on the top, but it works fine and looks totally brilliant.
In reality, it is so bright, that the blue almost goes towards a white color if you look longer on it, I actually really like that. The glow otherwise is blue for sure.

Very, very nice..!

Now...would he be able to reproduce this one ?? ;D ;D ;D ;D
