First very rough attempt at a trace-over in Illustrator.
It looks like I'll need to widen the gaps a little and adjust the corners around the stick. Do you guys like a version with a "tiered" base or more of a smooth/even base?
That looks pretty nice. If you can do the stepped base within SP's criteria, I like it.
Anyway to include the ring around the base of the stick?
Yeah, I think if I made the primary ring around the stick wider in the transparent area it would look better. I'll play with it some more tonight. I have a few other ideas to clean up the look.
Have fun with it...I'm dangerously close to burning out on this whole 70's novelty concept...
I plan to buy a set of engicoder's artistic genius, but I don't want another fail on my record. Especially, since I apparently have won regarding our Fallout Series designs.
So what's the deal with the PMK voting system? Because in a case like this cap, one person may be willing to buy multiple caps (maybe even 10), but that won't reflect in the votes since each person only gets one vote.
At the risk of frustrating some users who aren't a fan of the design and want to see something else get through to production (sorry!), I'll just throw it out there that I'm a huge fan of the 8-track design and would buy multiple keys (on the order of 5-10, assuming the price is what I'd expect) to help it tip.
I don't mean for this to comment to keep sticking with the "non-preferred" design of the 8-track, but rather to express my support for the project.
And for the record, I would buy multiples of the arcade stick as well, I just really really like 8-tracks and would buy a bunch of those.
