I'll be the first one to say I think the alternate translites is a bad idea and I don't like them at all.

Quoted from LesManley:I'll be the 2nd.
And truer words have never been spoken...
"I've seen very few alternate translites that are actually any good, both on their own artistic merits or how well they fit with the rest of the pin's artwork. Get those two factors right, then you've got a winner.
The primary problem, though, is trying to create new artwork that still makes good use of the backlights in their stock locations. I don't know if any alternate translites actually take this into account?"
Yep, from an artistic point of view, most of the alternates clash with the original art work. They are either a totally different color scheme or just "off". They don't blend in well with the cabinet or DMD plastic art and stand out like a sore thumb.
BTW, all this hate for the Shadow translite is just childish, there are SOOOO many translites that have some "actors" mugs prominently displayed and no one freaks out about it. If anything people usually get mad when the actors DON'T let their images be used (like BTTF or Apollo 13 for example). I may not agree with him politically speaking, but I like his movies and he's a funny guy, I can still be entertained by him and disagree with him...............
Quoted from Jeremecium:Sheesh, here we go again with name calling because you like something that other people don't. It is a matter of aesthetics and personal taste.
where was the name calling, missed that.....
