Pi Station Splashscreen

[soulgriever]

Just a quick post sharing a splashscreen for my upcoming Pi Station build

Download the PSD and edit to your liking
pistation.psd

Enjoy!

@soulgriever love the color pattern to the RaspberryPi logo (looks like stripes or sashes going around the raspberry); implies 3-dimensionality without compromising the integrity of the original logo. Very nice.

I think the text is pretty cringy though...

I am a gamer, not because I don't have a life, but because I chose to have many

...Oof. Is that from something? Also the inconsistent first-letter capitalization is a bit annoying to me.

Personally, I'd remove the text below "Pi Station", maybe replace it with something simple like "Retro Gaming Console". Of course, this is your project and you can do whatever you want, just my two cents. Thanks for sharing!

@cafarellidigital was half asleep when I made the picture lol the capitalization may be fixed in the PSD. I appreciate your honest criticism. I didn't like the quote either but at the time couldn't think what to put there. I didn't want to put "sony blah blah blah" I like your suggestion and will probably put something like that when I get home

@soulgriever another thought is lower the logo and pi station and at the top take a page out of the playstation games loading videos and have it say "retropie computer entertainment presents" and if you could do it in the same font as crash bandicoot did it in, that would be awesome. Love the playstation raspberry. I use the hd version of the actual sony boot video on my pistation.

Made an update, it really does just rip off the original sony picture though.

I don't know about anyone else, But I would love to see this image done in video splash form like the original Playstation boot sequence.

[soulgriever]

@aengeon If only there was. :P

There is another version I want to make down the road but havent gotten there yet, since this is going into my ps1 that looks like a real ps1 I want to do the same video but have it glitch out into the raspberry pi instead of the psx logo

@soulgriever That's exactly what I wanted! Thanks for posting it. And that idea would actually be pretty kool.

@soulgriever i definitely like the glitch out logo idea.
