Console and Controller Art Resources...
-
I am curious to know where you theme developers are obtaining your console and controller art; if there is a repository of PNG/SVG files out there somewhere? I have procured or re-created logo art where needed, so I am good to go in that department, it's just the consoles and controllers I am looking for at this point.
I am wanting to create my own ES Theme and in some of these more present-day themes, I see very nice-looking consoles and controllers (2D/3D, top-down, perspective, etc.)
I know many of you have had to re-create some of these, and I have done the same for a few myself in those themes I have used that doesn't have some of the consoles fully set up. Finding these already silhouetted (no background) is tough, especially trying to keep a consistent look-and-feel across all consoles as you would scroll through the systems in ES.
Any info or a nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

I answered my own question. I found what I was looking for and thought I would share it here for others who may be looking for the same thing. I'll be creating my own where appropriate, including vector files for logos. I may "vectorize" (is that a word, lol!) the consoles too, but that is a little more ambitious, so we shall see... Before I can even start on my own project, I need to finish the collab that I am working on currently.
Anyway, The Vanamo Online Game Museum is a Wikimedia gallery created by Evan Amos who is documenting quite a lot more than game consoles! He's even put a couple of books out. Evan has released his full-res photos into the public domain.

I know this thread is a few months old, but I figured I should necro-bump it to mention this utterly magnificent post on Reddit where someone redrew pretty much every conceivable system and company logo you could need, and released them as vectors AND rasters. This should be REALLY useful for theme-makers.
