Here are a couple examples of my custom logos I made for the Arcade Menu.

[Krakerman]

A nice feature you could do is if you want to be creative and make a new custom menu for your Williams Arcade favorites I designed a logo for the Multi-Williams!

[Krakerman]

Here is my custom Atari 2600 logo for the theme.

[Krakerman]

Changed a few things graphically to the frontend of this theme.

[uPDATE]

- Changed the menu background to match the fonts and added colored shadowing.

- Changed the video border.

- Small adjustment to the Gameroom logo.

These shots are looking good Krak. It's not quite the in-your-face blow out of Gameroom V1, but the common look and feel across the screens gives the theme a nice continuity. Keep it up!

[Krakerman]

Ok ... Tonight I updated the Menu and the Date/Time bar! Took me awhile to finally like the design of it.

[Krakerman]

Re-designed Pac-Man theme for MAME.

[uPDATE] Added the Menu, Date and Time text.

[Krakerman]

@nullPointer Actually those common screens are only the system selections as there will be different screens for each system after you select it such as MAME (see above for an example). I will post an example of a console system soon as I get one ready so you can see. This theme is similiar to the first one just a much better look I think. I wanted to give the first one a visual boost and hopefully I achieved that.

[Krakerman]

Here is the final system selection screens. These are only the ones for the Arcade Classics category.

[uPDATE]

- Changed the color of the bezel around the logos and tweaked the shading a bit.

Now the colors are now in sync throughout the theme.

[Krakerman]

Do you guys like this background or the other one? With or without Pac-Man?

[nullPointer]

I gotta say I kinda like the other background a bit better. IMO Draco kind of did the definitive theme with circuit boards, digital readouts and the like. Pac Man is always good, although if you keep Pac-Man in, you'll probably want to add other system (or category) appropriate characters/graphics to the other screens as well (= more work). On both accounts it comes down to whichever you prefer ultimately.

[KRC]

My honest opinion is the other background and without Pac-Man, Some of the character artwork for other and more obscure systems is crap or too small to work with.

I think it would have a definitive consistency if you were to leave the characters out.

[Krakerman]

I agree! The old background stays and Pac-Man is out.

Thanks.

[Krakerman]

I made an alternate Atari 2600 (Silver) logo for KRC's "The Revenge" console set. Hope you like it KRC!

[KRC]

Looks good, I cant even remember what the 2600 logo that I did looked like

[Krakerman]

[KRC]

Ohh yeah, Bring's back memories

The 2600 logo was one of the first I did before taking a break from them.

[Krakerman]

Here is an alternate Atari 5200 (Silver) and Atari Home Computers logos. The Atari Home Computers logo will be perfect before entering all your 8-Bit and ST computer section.

[Krakerman]

Alternate Commodore 64 logo. These logos will be available soon as I get them complete.

[Krakerman]

I worked hard on these banners today .... Hope you guys like 'em.

[Krakerman]

Back to working on the game themes tonight. First up Daphne!

[Krakerman]

Welp I must say that I just hate the Gameroom v2 title screen and background colors before so I went back to the drawing board and I've got a whole new re-design and I must say I think I'm finally pleased with how it turned out. Might need a little tweaking here and there but I like it much much better than my last effort. Now I have to re-do my game themes .... at least I didn't start a bunch of them yet.

[uPDATE]:

- New background (much cleaner look).

- Re-located the menu and the banners.

- New graphic font.

- Created a Gameroom v2 banner logo. Removed the old one since I'm going with banner logo's with this theme.

Do you guys like the new look?

[KRC]

Looks good!

Glad your making use of the banner logo's and also creating your own

[Krakerman]

Thanks.... The banner logo's worked perfect for this theme.

[Krakerman]

Ok here is what a new MAME game theme (ex.Pac-Man) will look like with the new layout.
