Don't stress or strain yourself over it.

You should be able to adjust the colours without having to stare at them by just adjusting the RGB by set amounts frame to frame.

I tried that, but 50% looks the same as 100%.
This color adjuster isn't just RGB. There are 3 colors on left also.

If it was just RGB, I could use the numbers like used in VP colors.
I could try darkening and lightening, but that will really take some doing to make it look right.

Here is new color logo...
This one changes every 100th of a second so blending isn't as bad.


1 second timer...


5 second timer...

I kind of like the first one only because it reminds me of my favourite arcade game ever...Defender.

Reminds me of an Atari 2600 game called SwordQuest.

Should we give that 1st one a try and see how it looks?

Sure, let's just see if anyone notices.

 

[StevOz]

Well it works, now to see if anyone comments?

 

[StevOz]

Just have to post this...

 

[xenonph]

I could add 10 to 20 more frames of just the original blue logo to it, so it shows original blue logo for short time before the color changes?
That probably would mess up the sequence though.

Kind of like it as is for now, though with the animated logo...

I really think there needs to be another animated flashing text "Insert Coin(s)!"

I can add the same 15 frames to it, and add Insert Coin text to them. So it will look like it is blinking when alternating between first set of 15 and second set of 15.

I was thinking it would look good either side of the lower text, and could be a simple on/off or fade animation so it need not be in every frame, just half of them?

Though don't over extend yourself messing with this stuff, hey it's only pinball, and it would be nice to get it noticed and mentioned by someone first.

 

[StevOz]

Also, what was I thinking?

You can't have Insert Coin(s) without a Game Over!

Here is test run...

Looks like it could work, not sure about that exact graphic and a few frames of fade in/out would look better though I know that means you would have to colour adjust.

Oh look here, this might be useful?

Maybe just use an arcade font and screenshot the text from a text editor and use that as a template?

No need for screenshot, it saves with transparent background!!
Adding it right now!!

 

[xenonph]

With new lettering.

 

[StevOz]

Looks rather good, you can go with that if you think it's better also.

 

[StevOz]

My only other thoughts was having it both sides or split it so one side is insert coin and the other game over.

Here is darker version.
There are 5 different arcade types.


I might be able to have them cycle through all 5 types! (It would only look like the colors changing, but still have same shape!)

Ok I will put Game Over on left and Insert Coin on right.

 

[StevOz]

I think the lighter version works best.
