Namco Galaxian marquee by Chris
« on: September 28, 2010, 04:37:07 PM »
As you know, the Namco Galaxian I found in the Abandoned Warehouse had no marquee, bezel and cpo, so I started "The Hunt for the Namco Galaxian parts". ;D
Finally I found a guy, Richard Chadd from arcadecontrols forums, he was so kind and sent me the scans from his cabinet.
It was in June and I almost forgot about it, until our "new" member Chris(ChrisChris) introduced himself as a graphic designer expert. ;D
I didn't belive him of course, so I decided to send him the bad quality scan from the marquee and let's see what happens! ;D
After a few days and some colour corrections you can check the result here:

The first print is very bad quality, but looks great from a distance.I have to find another company to print it and it will be awesome! ;)


The vector file is available on vectorlib here:

At the end I would like to send many thanks for Chris and Richard to let this happen! ;)

Brilliant !! I hopre all the Namco artwork can be saved, Berolino or original Namco...

Thanks André, I will try out one more local company and if it's also bad quality, I will leave it to the pros, as you suggested! ;)

And the second print to an adhesive front vinyl, mounted to the back side of a plexi:


A closer pic to check the quality

Looks fantastic in backlight:

And another close pic with backlight:


I will make a third print with the italian version and I will use that in the cabinet, so if you like this Andre it could be yours! ;)
And one more THANKS to Chris & Etienne for the brilliant job!!! ;D
