I thought this could be a cool idea. I know MacPhreak could do it for me but I want to see if others can come up with stuff as well...

This is for all the guys considering having something done to their playfield and/or cabinet at some point, and have some graphic talent... I am looking into having a logo made for Sparky's Pinball Regenerations. I thought of offering a rebate or credit towards any work to be done. 150$ Sound good? Basically my base price for clearcoating an NOS playfield.

Post em here!!!

Ideas:

- I like blue, my favorite color
- has to be pinball and vid-oriented of course
- a lightning bolt somewhere would be appropriate I guess

Have fun!

I'm no artist but this calls for a Robot chicken/ Frankenstein theme.  I'll throw that out as food for thought.

here you go!  Simple enough to make a stamp out of...



Edit: The preview messes it up - click it for the true view....

Not bad... lacks any reference to pinball and vids, but I like it... Great idea about a stamp too!

I misunderstood the first post. I thought you were going for a "Sparky was here" kind of label to put on things you had worked on... like a "maker's mark" stamp.

Here's an idea for free. How about a top down view of a pop-bumber with "SPR" in the middle with lightning bolts around it. I'd draw it myself but I don't do art (or more accurately, can't).

Hey thanks, guys!

Here's another quickie.. just slightly different.  I like the 80's colour scheme.

I like the other one better, but I find Sparky's too hard to read in the other version.

I like it. Its also an easy design to put on stationary in one color. Just needs a little tweeking.

Sparky, we used these guys and were very pleased. You tell them what you want, they provide you an initial round of original ideas (no clipart, etc). You pick and choose what you like from one or the other, and have unlimited revisions until you're happy.

Their gallery:

Good luck!

I guess the consensus is MacPhreak's design!

So Brock... how much to have stickers done?

Macphreak's design is great, but the shadows around "Sparky's" seems kinda weird. There are shadows inside the letters on the left, and outside of the letter. It's like looking at an Escher painting
