I think it's time to make a separate post strictly for the custom decal work that myself and others have done for our machines.. Feel free to chime in on any custom legends/decals you have created or would like done.

I will be adding some of the fonts that match the originals and templates for 1c,5c,25c,$1 so you can make your own if you'd like.

Enjoy'ith fellow  :nlg-  Brethren....

A few custom 'work in progress decals..

To replace the 'Prog' decal

Little Devil.

Triple Diamond Deluxe

S2000 multi denom touch pad (Triple Double RedHot Peppers)

1000

..

Added are a few you can copy and print yourselves. Hopefully the size and quality stays the same after being uploaded here. If not just let me know.

$1 and a $100 for all you high rollers...

Pays..

Harvey these are really nice, printer and paper do you print with

Karma :259-

Thx. I started with printing them on a transparency and then either spray painting the back with bright white appliance paint or adding a thin white plastic from a craft store (hobby lobby) to try to make the 'glow' look original. Now I use a sign material that is gloss on the front and matte white on the back. It has to be printed on a huge printer, but fortunately my friend has that printer at his disposal. Will post a few pictures of the methods I've used. 

Methods I have used..

First is the transparency with backing method.

Second is the roll sign stock that works best.

If anyone wants me to add any denoms/decals or whatnot just speak'ith your mind. I have other decals and multi-denom templates made up.

Enjoy'ith your wkend Y'all!     :151-

Love these ones Harvey.  Do you have the PSD template?  Would love to use this but have two of them printed, one for "1 cent, 2 cents, 25 cent and 1 dollar", and the other one "1 cent, 5 cent, 10 cent, 25 cent".  The first one is my current setup, the second one is the setup that I would like to change to once I learn how to use my S2000 a little better, lol.  I just got an S2000 after having an S Plus for several years.  Do you know anyone that prints on laminated vinyl cheap for these?

Here is the layer version. Change it as you wish. It's gonna cost you a  :259-

 :72-

Paid in full!  :)  Thanks!

Do you know where I can get the font?  Says it's called "Slot Regular", but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Search here on NLG. I think the user Deuce23 posted the zip. Search 'slot font' and read up on how to make the 'cent' symbol, it takes a few key strokes to make. (note on a laptop you have to add the 'Funtion' key to the equation..

If you cant find it let me know and I cant attach it in a bit.

Found it, thanks!

I can have them printed on a white sign stock but would only do that if I had enough (like 20+) decals to print. Otherwise I would use the transparency method.

Btw, the touchpad decal can be printed on regular stock and look fine seeing the background is black. That's the budget way to print those. - Now the single denom decals need to be printer differently cause the background is white.

Thanks.  And to contribute a little in return, here is a full set of graphics I did for a pachislo machine:

Wow. Cool stuff and great show..

When you complete your multi-denoms post high res tiff's or jpg's (sized). Maybe someone can use them.?.

Thanks, will do.  Having trouble installing the slots font on my mac.  Says there are errors with it and it won't install.  I thought it was the Hollywood font, but I installed that and the numbers don't look the same.

Shart... I don't know what you can do.. Hopefully you can figure it out.

Seeing the multi-denom has been viewed like flies on shat I attached another I made.

Pay with  :259-. Sorry, no refunds... Ha

Harvey

For a certain "SIZZLIN'" machine...

Harvey,
These are excellent :259-  WOW
Do you have any for the center multi denom for the non touch pad games?
Also looking for the stdard red with white backround ones to go in the max payouts that are in the top glass. Like for 5K credits thru 200K credits or progessive

Rich

Thanks. Post a picture of one you want, when I have time I will see what I can whip up.

The first ones free....., till I get ya hooked on the custom decals, then it's gonna cost ya!!! Haha

Box template.

Here's one I whipped up... trying to decide if I like the coin images or not... not sure if this design is too "busy".  Thoughts and opinions?
(http://www.angryninjas.com/cloud/multi2.jpg)

Funny. You could almost just use the coin itself. Some people can't read but sure as hell know what money looks like.. Maybe "cartoon" the coins rather then them being actual photograph?  Quality stuff!!

Cartooning the coins might be a good idea... in the meantime, here is the same theme with different lower denominations

This was made for a friend that wanted..   
1c/2c
1c/2c

Sorry about the delay I've been swamped this week....I'll get getting you those dimensions soon.  Can't wait to see them once I get em.  They look amazing on here!

Thought I would show what one of my designs above looks like installed on my machine.  BTW, this is just printed on regular printer paper, which looks just fine.  I thought I was going to have to pint on laminated vinyl, but I didn't have to.  The coins look much clearer in person than in the pic... I think it just caught some glare.

Bonus w/flames.

I haven't been keeping up on this thread, but laminating plain paper after its printed does the trick to cut down on light coming through. Gives it a finished look, as well, versus the "photocopy" look.

Thanks for the tip.  I'll give that a shot.  :)

I tried that and I still dont like the 'pulp' or uneven look when its back lit. I have a few other methods that are cheap to print and look a bit more even when back lit. 

just curious why the dime is the back side and not front??

lol, good eye.  The only proof image of the dime front I could find had the reflection bleeding into the white background, so I couldn't get a good photoshop cut on that image.  I couldn't find the proof images with transparent background.  When I went to select the background, even with the tolerance levels adjusted, it kept grabbing part of the reflection image on the dime itself.

Nightmare when that happens.. I cut to the chase and hand form instead of messing around. Takes time but as you know, it works.

Yep, thought about it, and had I known I was actually gonna use it instead of just a quick mockup for the forum, I probably would have.  I still might actually.  At the time I just had a lazy moment when I seen the perfect backside image lol

Back of the decal

Something like this instead?

w/ gold and shadow like you mentioned.

Love, love, love the artwork coming out, guys! I finally got my Wild Thing denom label finished - this one took a bit of work. I plan to set up the jackpot sticker next, but here's the 25¢ artwork if anyone wants it.

 :3- Nice!, I recently sold my Haywire but was in the process of making a similar looking decal. The only difference was I had the white bolt like stripe through the middle of the numbers.. Kinda like the Haywire belly glass has..

If you made the edges a bit more 'wild' it looks like it could be used on a Wild Thing also..

Yeah, I made that for my Wild Thing S2000. It matches the Wild Thing font precisely - I used the glass art as a guide.

My bad.. I was thinking Haywire for some reason.. Looks perfect!

 :79- Finally! After trial and error, this IS the material that works for both black, colored or white backgrounds.. The colors are bright and the backlit areas glow perfectly. It is a sticker sign material that can be rolled on to a clear transparency, or laminated from the start to make it more rigid. - I can actually print any type of wood look (any look) for the exterior of slots and have the machine cut it out perfectly..

Thanks to Yoeddy and Regislive for choosing a difficult black background.. It forced me to force my buddy to try another method, the other roll stock made the black look dull..

 :244-



 

Very nice.  Anything for a big fat award sticker where a mini photon progressive meter would go?  In particular, mine is a 5-line, 5-coin triple diamond, and the top award is 6000 credits if you get 3 triple diamond symbols on the 5th payline (diagonal payline going from bottom left to top right).  Here is the one I came up with, but don't have a good way of printing it yet, so still playing with ideas.  It's a 7 digit progressive meter, the numbers obviously go in the middle.
(http://www.angryninjas.com/cloud/Progressive.jpg)

I can have it printed. I am just trying to gather enough decals to fit in a 52" wide by 12" tall area.... Ya, a lot of decals. That's the amount of stock the printer uses in one rip. I would hate to waste material like we did for the one posted.   

You may be able to mirror the image (reverse) and print 2 of them on a transparency. Once combined (lined up perfect), the black is black, and the colors still look good while being backlit. Worth a shot? It'll cost you more in gas to drive to the officemax or wherever.. ha. like $1

I will keep you posted on my next print. I plan on doing a bunch of customs for the more rarererer machines, basic denoms, and the 'machine pays / play ? coins etc) in bulk for S+'s, S2k's.

(The picture is of me trying different things. I can have it rolled directly onto a clear material.)

Here's the custom progressive label that I did... keep in mind it's just on regular stock, which is why it looks grainy.  Also, the meter itself blocks some of the light, so not sure to to make it backlit exactly... might not be able to get it fully backlit.  Maybe it shouldn't be?  I cant remember what one looks like in an actual casino machine... been a long time since I seen the mini progressives installed instead of the big ones.  Not thrilled with how this looks right now, but it's always a work in progress.  At least it's hooked up and working, now I can work on the decal a little more.  I'm thinking non-backlit laminated vinyl on this pone with a black background maybe?

(http://www.angryninjas.com/cloud/triple2.jpg)

I agree. Maybe use bright colors for the background and fonts? Then it'll still stick out even though it wont be backlit.

Looks good. Nice job.

And for anyone who wants a custom Wild Thing jackpot label, here's the art. Enjoy!

Oh, and I suppose I ought to move Jeannie over here too. Denom and jackpot labels below ...

Matt just got around to installing them.  Here is what they look like.....I have to find some other way to adhere them to the glass...the acid proof tape I have is showing up way to much.  But here are a few pics to see!  I'll do a before and after.

Now for Risque Business..

looks good except for the tape...maybe I should just use scotch tape?

They look good! Like I said, I'm still perfecting adhering them..

I use scotch tape. I only use a thin strip about 1/4" and put it around the edges.  Works well cause there is always a boarder around to cover the tape when backlit.

Just finished a tracking bar vinyl sticker for my Strike it Rich machine.  Thought I'd share it.  The rest of the machine is woodgrain, so it matches (see pics in my profile to see the rest of the machine).  Has cutouts for the card reader, LCD screen and pin pad.

Nice! That's a sweet kit!

That's bad a$$! Nice job!
