I'm VERY unsure of the J.Tel logo and how it fits in... advice plz.
I think logos down the sides and info down the middle would look better than overlapping.
I think it was better with a plain black at the sides (maybe a star BG) as opposed to the grey 'trix' visuals dropping, really clutters it up.
Benn toon, looks good in closeup but obvously unconfirmed, use "slightly irate fiddler" too ? or neither...
Unsure of the size and location of the date also.
Thought i'd make the addy into a sort of sine-scroller effect, looks good, but, position ?

Bear in mind this is all really rough atm... I have the reloaded from the 'trix movie poster but I was unsure of its font suitability in the overall scheme of things (1980's etc).

Thoughts ?

Thanks Andy!

Ben and Fiddler aren't featured performers at this event, so yeah, we should remove the caricatures.

Technically the event is "Back in Time Live: Reloaded". Can we throw that to a vote? Do people prefer "Live and Reloaded"?

Seth Sternberger is covered by 8-bit weapon, so doesn't need to be there.

Can we call him "Skitz @ Spitz"? Skitz, are you OK being on the poster?
We can probably get rid of the bottom "Back In Time Live and Reloaded" text at the bottom to clean up... we'll need a hotline number and website to buy tickets..

I think you might be right that the logos are causing trouble: maybe we should move to just big text and a decent font for "8-Bit Weapon" and "Jeroen Tel"?

Should we decide on a consistent font for the artistsm the ticket price and the date?

What kind of fonts did they use in C64 demos with that kind of background?

Any other comments? Come on, don't be shy

many from the period, so maybe just a question of settling on one that looks the part.

further answers to Matrix's questions:

Once the bottom of the poster has the event logo removed, there's more space to put the address and a line of contact blurb. I don't think we need the sinewave, though the idea is clever, it's probably not necessary, especially if we settle on the fonts.

And what do you do with weapons? Well, you SLAY stuff. =)

Um, perhaps opposite the "Spitz" logo on the other side? Can we mention C64Audio.com somewhere? Not necessarily with a logo...

Sure thing ! I think it would be good to koala the first 3 logo's top right of the forum too, remiix 64 for here, c64audio for the shop, rko cos, well, it's about remixers init ! - i'd use AR too but this is a sid event rather than a mod/sample event.. unless things change.

Well, I'm a bit wary of too many logos, even mine, but if we can fit them in neatly, it would be a show of solidarity. Maybe since AR is now Ziph's baby we can throw that in just for the hell of it

Koala-ing seems good.
