Title: Definitive List Of Wide Icons For Emulators
Post by: Cospefogo on July 01, 2007, 05:06:00 PM
Gentlemen,
Since the other topic is getting really crowded, and the title just mention only about .CUT shortcuts for FBA-XXX I think we should have a official one to spread the news about wide icons for arcade games and emulators.
I did setup in my website a new section with all artwork released until the moment, by me and some other comrades, like Mr. Ebsy and Mr. Retroplay.
This is the link where everything started: http:/http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=610146
Please spread all around to all your friends! Cheers,
Cospefogo.
PS. I think one of the topics really deserves a PIN. There are good artwork being released there!

Good work Cospefogo. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Here is another site (if it's ok to mention in your thread, if you want me to edit it out let me know) I sometimes use for wide icons that includes some emulators, hopefully someone will make use of it too: http://mediaicons.org
Cheers

OK, I've pinned Ebsy's thread and your wide icon archive page has been linked in the The Great Xbox Emulation Answer Thread, Cospefogo.

Retroplay, these wide icons are just lovely! Thanks so much for taking the time to create them, I know for sure I don't have anywhere near the artistic ability to pull something like this off.
On a side note It would be lovely to see a ZX Spectrum one, if you feel the need and have the time. I'm sure all us Speccy lovers would appreciate it.
Thanks again!

Will this do ?
I'm using the PSD file Cospefogo did, I'm just adding new layers to that.

BTW I see you over at Lemon Amiga forums sometimes, my forum name is C=Style over there, I'm pretty sure it's you who I'm talking about!
Thanks again man, take care.
ps: I would just like to ask you a question, do you think you will be covering all of the emulators in time?, as I have all of them on my xbox and if I could have a full set of these icons it would be so nice as the other icons stand out pretty badly now.

I love these wide icons, are there going to be icons for the Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis and Turbografx 16? I know there's Super Famicom and PC Engine icons, but something American specific would be nice too.

Retroplay do you have a webpage for your icons?
Nope, all of 'em is stashed away on my photobucket account. Mr. Cospefogo added some of them on his blog/website.

Hej Retroplay!
Very nice work! Fantastic, matter of fact. Just one tip - For picture who does not fit 100% in width inside the PSD canvas, try paiting them with black color using a laaaaarge SOFT brush, this way the overlay/blending between the picture and the logotype/console name area will be perfect.
Example - the last two Sega Genesis are *PERFECT*! The first two (the ones with the camera flash reflection) could look better if you paint the right side of them with black. Can you notice the problem?
Other thing - Sorry, I am a neat silly guy - did you accidentally slide the font's SHADOW LAYER after the ZX Spectrum icon? All icons after it are with the shadow behinf the text layer in the wrong orientation --- let's not say wrong --- let's say in a different way of all other icons (mine and the first ones you build).
If it was intentional, never mind - I just mention because I think that the most important thing on a icon set is to apply the same identity to all of them!
Cheers! VERY NICE work, man. Really great... I am very busy now with some web development here, but I plan to return soon.
Love you, guys! Hauhshuashuah! Cospefogo.

I redid the Genesis1 icons with another picture without that annoying camera flash.
I think these turned out alot better.

Is that PSD file still available? I'd like to make a few
Thanks!
