ES Custom SVG Logo pack (includes specific Mame logos)

[meleu]

@UDb23 really thanks, but I downloaded the megaman.svg and it seems to be all transparent:

Downloaded one more time to confirm, same result.

@meleu What are you using as a vector editor?

[meleu]

@lilbud Actually it's not an image editor, it's the default image viewer of Linux Mint Cinnamon: Xviewer.

@UDb23 I managed to put a transparent background on that png version and, you're right, it looks better on dark backgrounds. In basic/detailed view of Carbon, it is really neat. But in the system view, you see an "excess of brightness":

But looks cool in the basic/detailed view:

I could try using a less bright shade of white. What do you think ?

Is there a way to use 2 different svg files for "system" and "detailed" view ?

I erroneously uploaded a work in progress version... now right file is available: megaman logo udb.svg

Yes. 😀

[UDb23]

Yes.

@meleu can you please provide more info on this ?
specific svg file names to be used or ES configuration ?

[UDb23]

@meleu

We could use this kind of logo for System view. Should look better.

ES configuration. The theme.xml file explicitly specifies the image for each view. But usually theme makers use the same image for all views.

As an example you can see this theme.xml for gameboy on Carbon theme:

@UDb23 yep. I found a cleaner png version on wikipedia:

Thanks, will check it.

Recreated and optimized in SVG:

Available in the More folder with the other MegaMan logo (I optimized that one too).

[meleu]

@UDb23 nice work man! I'm on a trip now but will see how it looks on Carbon as soon as I get home (wednesday).

Thanks very much!

[meleu]

@UDb23 Wow!! Finally had a chance to test it. Really cool! Huge thanks for that!

[UDb23]

@meleu I just replied, before reading this, with same "wow!" about your new script for custom systems.
:-))

There will be a new SVG logo for those, like me, wanting to have a "custom system" collecting our favorite SHOOT'EM UPs over the next days... ;-)

@UDb23 hi!

Apologies for barging in.

I suppose I wouldn't be able to interest you in helping out with this, I suppose?

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/10988/help-needed-new-systems-for-carbon-for-upcoming-es-feature

Feel free to say "no" though I came to this thread hoping to see if it'd be something we could use for this purpose. It's mainly the vector/line controller icon, and a system logo for those three.

Sorry for the trouble, and thanks in advance for your time and reading this through.

[UDb23]

@pjft Sure I can help !
Do you already have an idea on how you would icons and logo look like or should I just try doing something freely ?

[pjft]

@UDb23 Oh wow, thank you! we can move to the other thread if you'd like, but I don't have any particular preference - I like to give the artists some freedom :)

Ultimately, it's just something that would be consistent with the Carbon theme (I'm thinking in particular of the controllers), and that would be evocative of:

• "All games" (which means all systems as well)
• "Favorites"
• "Last Played" (the list of all games you played, sorted by most recent first)

So I don't know. I follow your work and it's usually of very high quality, so I have no concerns, if it's something you think it'd be fun to do as well!

Ultimately I suppose consistency would be the key, so that it'd be accepted into the Carbon main repository, but other than that, no further thoughts. :)

Thank you very much.

[UDb23]

@pjft OK; of course I considered consistency as key already ;-)
Give me a couple of days and I'll come back to you with some draft.

@meleu Beautiful, but you're missing a trick there, get X4, X5, X6 and 8 for PS1, they run flawlessly. Maybe even Mega Man: The Wily Wars for the Mega Drive.
