Search for my school project
« on: May 23, 2012, 12:16:06 PM »
Hi guys,
im in the end of my cursus in graphic design. :)
The theme of the last work (also the exam) is "making a whole graphic line for our future Studio".
I choose to work on an arcade related shop (might be useful someday..) who will be focused on silkscreened arcade artwork reproduction.

So far i have only found the name: The Artwork Maniac.

I would like to make the logo look like an old arcade games marquee, and i want to use a allready existing style of font.
Also i would like to use a logo with load of halftones, to make it look like i know what im talking about . ;)
I ve done a Super Hang On logo recently but the style is to modern.
I like the lazarian that etienne is redoing ATM. but the lazarian font is not enough arcade for me.
I love the look of the galaga font, but there is no halftone in it.


Maybe some of you can point me to some good old school arcade logo, with plenty of haltones and who is noticeable on first sight?.

Of course feel free so submit other name or remark, nothing is writen in stone for now.

Thanks a lot.
David :)

Re, guys!
I ve success to my studies! :)
Ok it was 3 months ago, but i never took the time to show you what my project ended to..

Behold! The final version of "The Artwork Maniac" logo:

Im not very objective, but i love it. I even think about opening the store just for the sake of using it!  ;)




They also ask for an invitation. So i did this:

Fold-in Defender, Robotron and a Twilight Zone pin, surrounded by the oversized logo.

You likey? ;D
