Quoted from PinballHelp:I agree the logo is not very prominent, but there are other celebrated games like "Whitewater" that don't even have the logo and game name on the backglass.
lol, come on now. It's in huge, clearly readable letters on top of every single game with an eye catching and unique light show, you literally cannot miss the name of the game. Try selling a White Water without the topper and see what kind of value you get for it too. That a silly example, and I would invite you to please name another "celebrated game" let alone another at all that doesn't have the name, since you made it sound like there are more.
The name of the game is important. I'm cool with the grammar on Experts of Dangerous, I think it's funny, it's not a bad name. Make it so people can see it. That's just design 101, you don't hide it.
Quoted from PinballHelp:I think had they put the Myth Busters even larger on the backglass, just as many, if not more people would have complained... it's not like in this testosterone-driven industry, pinball enthusiasts want a bunch of nerdy guys' image hovering over them on the pinball machine.
Well first of all the critiques haven't been "they're too small". So that's a specious argument. But if you did make them larger you just have to make the art cool.
I posted that "Bond style" example earlier, if that was the art no one would have been "oh they're too big" because it was a great drawing and looked slick. Now that was just an example, it obviously doesn't fit the theme, but if the game was "Jamie and Adam Gadget Super Spies" it would have been celebrated. With maybe a few snickers, but hey, spy shit, it works.
We'd be sitting here speculating what kind of spy toys the playfield would have, and not arguing about the art, that's for sure.
I like comic books. You want a comic book art package it's all good with me. Get a good comic book artist.
