Pac-Man - pacman(Derkrug_8-20-08)

[derkrug]

Here is my second theme. Got some good feedback on my Zaxxon theme. Let me know what you think of this one.

Lower left Pac-man rolls in from the right
Video is set to ease from the bottom
Logo is set to grow, rest = squeeze

Thanks, Dan

I love that 3D picture of pacman, I used to have it as my desktop wallpaper, while the theme looks really good I personnally prefer graphics from the era of the game like the ghost and pacman you have alongside the logo rather than the 3D render and the picture of pacman in the bottom left corner I think is from the 25th anniversay edition (I could be wrong).

I would of gone with the four ghosts chasing pacman back and forth across the screen but it's your theme and if you decide to keep with those graphics my only suggestion would be to make the pacman logo bigger and get rid of the word arcade.

thats what I was going to say retroborg. I think, just personal opinion, that the background looks out of place. It might look cool on one of the 3d pacman games though.

Yeah it's just personal preference, the theme does look good though.

Pac-mans eyebrows are freaking me out! lol...


I agree, I would like to see artwork from that era... Although it is a nice rendering.

Fruit would be good too, at least cherries.

looks rly nice but i would prefer the actual old skool art from the era..and there is a lot of high quality vector art for pacman.....this theme would be good for pacman 3D

I too would ditch the word "arcade" other than that I think it's awesome as is.

Has this been released?

[derkrug]

I finally had some time to work on this. It still needs a little work but I thought I would get some feedback first. Also, anyone who wants a copy of the first one can PM me and I'll email it to you.

Thanks, Dan

Much better, I really like the ghost video overlay

[thatitalian]

I have to say I really like the first design better! It really stands out!

Derkrug,
Another enthusiastic vote here for this newer one. The 3D rendered one looks cool, but the classic of all classics, Pac-Man, deserves a real classic send-up. Cheers! :beer:

I like both. Maybe both can be uploaded to give users an option.

I can't find this theme. Where is it uploaded? Thank you.
