      I have been playing around with some variations. Keeping the comic book feel along with the original logo style like this:

      Let me know if you would like me to post them here.

            @mrseven dang dude, looking super sharp. For the Jaguar one I think it would look better with the "64-bit" on top of the dot-matrix layer

              @zenjiro appreciate it. I had thought about that as well. I wanted to put the eyes in there as well but they don't look good unless they are are on a black background

                      Great job!!! Impressive
                      See here for systems list : Request for artists working on themes - needs for (lr-mess/MAME) additions . All those systems working well with lr-Mess / Mame standalone but are not supported by official themes. Sadly, they are orphelins !!

                      We are working ( @folly, @valerino, @dteam) on the development of module-script generator for lr-mess and mame standalone. Now, It's a pretty mature process and We would like to know if some artists who are working on themes are interested to work on some systems and added those to their themes. Here, we are focusing on handheld systems and some keyboardless consoles.

                        @dteam Thanks! All credit goes to Zenjiro for making a video explaining how he created his comic logos and I kind of went from there. An artist I am not but I do have fun making these logos and trying to figure things out. I might have a crack at some you are needing when I'm done with the ones I want to make. Coincidentally, I was working on an Arcadia one and a few posts up, there is an Astrocade logo I posted but here is a slightly different variation:

                          I like your artistic touch with logos like the F with Channel F or the cube with Nintendo Gamecube and the 3 colors with Emerson!

                            @mrseven Thanks for Emerson Arcadia 2001! As a kid, I owned one of the regional re-branded models named Tele-Fever. So, I'm a little bit emotionally attached to this machine. ☺️

                              I'm glad you like them. I'm trying to give the original logos that comic book feel. Some turn out better than others.

                                You're very welcome. I still have mine hooked up in the retro game room. I only have seven games for it because as with everything video game related, they are getting expensive.

                                    For less common systems listed on Request for artists working on themes - needs for (lr-mess/MAME) additions, you can go to my gamelist.xml / personal media here. They are not yet offered by sites like ScreenScraper. You can take screenshots of mp4 video games for your comics.

                                    For uncommon logos, if you don't want to go on Google, you can use mine as a basis in my theme (Cygnus_modified)

                                        That's a lot of good stuff to work with there. Are you trying to keep me busy! Thanks!

                                          I am interested if you feel any of my stuff is worthy. Do I need a channel invite?
