^Nice pic! Oh it should definitely be new custom art, not recycled art from another game if that's what you mean. Yeah, I think Michele mostly recreates stuff from arcade artwork that's already been done, but maybe not. Either way would be cool though. Can be even new custom art, i follow a "remake" of the original games design as the same is done with the software re-programmed for the Vectrex console following the original in arcades.. i followed the same road. Nice arts can be used from the past as well but for new development is clear that need to be edite a completely new design.. why not i can work on too ^_^ By the way on 15 of October i've something more to present...

LOVE THIS VP THEME!I think all the extra little spaces should be used for things like: - Level logos
- "Kill"/"Win" stickers
- Or maybe stickers for the tops of each button.
- Stickers for the reset and volume buttons so that you can see each one better. (Glow in the dark ink?)
- Thin band stickers to change the personality from GCE to MB, or the other way round.
- For areas where the cart cutout is, make a sticker there to apply to the end of the cart. Or the top of the cart. Or the sides of the cart.
- Or have sticker with a set of mini-instructions / game topics.
If you have extra space then use it. For themes. Or just for fun. On the topic of full coverage, have a sheet #2 for each design. With cutout slots where the venting/ controls would be. Also would like to see completely plain solid color sheets. This would allow for people to obtain pre-cut, high-quality material for their own use. How about a full coverage Fluorescent Orange? Or blood red? Or just a native/natural/white material color for hand drawn work. Also apply the ideas above to sheets for other consoles. Yes I like your suggestions, starting for :
- Stickers for each button - stickers for the reset and volume button that i found really smart and useful ^_^
As you know i want to implement these first two in the near to exit new series ... Every more cut i add make the cutting work slower and in some way costs goes high.. in this 4 wraps i play a little bit to understand the potential and stimulate the ideas... and yours are really good :-)
Regarding the fluorescent colors i need to change the technology in print; exists the technique to do it but not in the machine i use that is dedicated to large print; i'm investigating and take it out to do somehitng ...
- as mini instrucitons i do the first example as the "SCORING" in this design.. and is nice to apply in the right or left side that i do not cover for example... behind the flags stickers.. so every time can be done something like that none problem to add a similar sticker.
- The full coverage can be done; is easy to implement... but cost more. al my work is also to have a not too high cost wrap, but if this is the common idea and everyone like a full coverage... i can edit a new template and propose a behind full coverage series to the "standard" i'm doing now.
- as full coverage wrap i can propose a first test with Fibercarbon black cover... if you like this idea can be a first prototype to do.. the effect for sure is pretty amazing.. and i'm able to do it.

Hey, I think the Vector Pilot World Champion deserves a Vectrex at his level And the fantastic look of the controller: Vector Pilot VectrexWraps 2014 1st edition 19/35 When you use these wraps you can see the real and nice effect... it´s hard to describe in words, but I´m totally happy! By the way, Michele, those little covers for the reset and on/off buttons are very good idea. Thanks for make so great work!

A few years ago I was playing with ideas for wraps and started working up something for an Asteroids / Minestorm wrap. I ran out of time and never was able to do everything I wanted like replacing the rocks with mines. But here it is anyway, just for ideas View AttachmentA Minestorm (Asteroids) wrap would be cool. And I guess there would be even more demand because Minestorm is the built-in game and thus available to everyone.
