I'm curious what colors people like, I noticed a lot of people liked the V1 logo colors
It's gonna be so busy there this weekend tho lol
Here’s our new forum clubhouse. What do you mean? No, it isn’t clearly an old Pizza Hut, don’t be absurd.

There is a pac man cabinet that is also a table in there. I can feel it.
I’d say so. We just don’t want to spring that on people before they even had a chance to see the poll results thread.
Do you have a plan to actually get people to look at the poll results? Because I think it is always going to be a surprise to a huge chunk. Not that I am saying we shouldn't try to prepare people. That is always ideal. Just that I am sure there are some forumers currently entirely unaware this space is even going to be going away in May.

It's gonna be like those reports that people were googling stuff like "Where is Joe Biden on the ballot" a few days before the last US Election, and "Can I still change my vote?" a few days after.

You couldn't have done that like 5 minutes earlier ? Now I look like a fool!

Legos are cool, MOCs are cool, check me out on Rebrickable!
I'd get to to go the pet store and see moray eels and pot belly (mini, lol) pigs for sale and pet things, and then I would be given a dollar and have two chances at TRON and one chance at Punch Out
There was a movie theater in the town I was born (or close to it anyways) with a decent arcade but the highlight were these cool neon lights. Sadly this one is closed now
And this was a similar movie theater near my uncle with a badass King Kong/Wizard of Oz theme. I think inside also had a Casablanca mural but I can't find pictures of it
I tend to associate movies and arcades closely because it was rare to go to Chuck e cheese but the movies was a more common affair
Plus that carpet, hell yea
I am thinking of putting one of those lending libraries and new community blockbuster things either at my farmstand or at our farmer's market table in the next year or so. We've got a good local library but I need kids to see shit like Baron Munchausen or the Frankie Muniz classic Stay Alive.

This is close to what I had in mind. I'm for this one the most

Would a blank coin imply "coin" enough to not need a "coin" label? Or is that "not enough" from a branding position?
Extremely pleased to see that another one of my favorite spots hasn't been ruined by Discourse.
You and me, dennis. Same page.
If you have the bandwidth I’d love to see a version with return set as a word running sideways down the side? Generally stacking type like that is verboten in design rules (though it’s not nearly as unstable here except around the TU construct)
Also the coin reminds me of the CMON logo a lot which isn’t necessarily bad or some unique construct they have cornered but worth considering if we see ourselves also within niche gaming space
Token Members
Posting will now be referred to as making a token effort
I'd already thought about suggesting the idea of spending any potential extra funds the forum generated on a small annual award ceremony (community member of the year/most high effort post/etc)
Handing out little custom arcade tokens as the awards would be amazing

ONLINE AND AWAITING YOUR COMMAND > _
Took a look at some arcade token designs, and these are some of the stuff I've seen that we could take inspiration of:
- The words NO CASH VALUE, ARCADE ONLY, or FOR AMUSEMENT ONLY; sometimes these are part of the border around the central icon, and sometimes they are put below the image
- 888
- A generic icon (star, crown)
- A lined letter denoting a fake currency (like $ or ¥, but another letter like Z)
- The name of the place
- The headshot of the mascot
On a separate note:
Can we move/clone this discussion of the design somewhere more visible?

Thinking on it more, beyond just the 2x2 format, it might be that "Coin" is too generic to put on a ... coin. Like yes, it is indeed a coin?
Out of your list, I like these 2 the most:
- I think the mascot would be cool, either a headshot, or perhaps even the mascot holding a coin as well (kind of like that classic Sonic the Hedgehog pose where he's point a finger at the camera, but it's a coin instead)
- The fake currency letter. Or alternatively, the initials of the forum CR, slanted/italicized, along with two slashes coming down at an angle, / ,
