Since we're picking bikeshed colours though, would it be possible to use a proper curly apostrophe (’) instead of the prime (')?

If you want to go for a simple frame, I would suggest a maroon/purplish color - like the vest of the Prince in your avatar, perhaps. I think that would fit well with the gold and blue colors.

TheRaven81 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 For @Jacques, and anyone else who might be confused my colored frame example is just that - just an example, to show the color that I was speaking of. I'm not suggesting he actually make it that way. He's free to make it however he likes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pseudografx Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 How about going for the same chroma in the whole screen and only use different luma? That way you'd only need 1 player (or all missiles) for the colouring. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think colour-wise it's better (apart from unfilled/contour "m"), because it feels "warmer" and not that arctic Not sure if rensoup's latest preview is final colour scheme, but mixing warm colours of 1st letter with cold rest is a bit odd, overall it feels way too cold and reminds just a bit darker Atari Basic colours of background and letters: ...which also reminds XXL's early WIPs, which were missing colouring: So yeah, brown/gold would be an improvement Edited June 3, 2020 by Jacques Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way you'd only need 1 player (or all missiles) for the colouring. That's back to square one really, pretty much like the original... I tried it too and I much prefer having a big colorful char. The focus is on the text, so that's where I chose to spend those PMGs... the big char looks almost hires even though it's just regular PMGs overlapping... I'm quite happy with it. So that leaves me with 4 missiles but that might just be enough to pull off the look I'm going for... 13 hours ago, Jacques said: So yeah, brown/gold would be an improvement I guess we'll forever disagree on colors... not sure they're final anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rybags Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Ideal would be about midpoint between the two. The later one has too little bulk in the body and too much tail on things like f and y. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irgendwer Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Just for the sake of it a (very rough and quick) mock-up of the scroll-like look. PMGs (with HPOS changes) could be also used to speckle the paper. Test.xex 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
