holy cow woulda look at that

Making vector replicas of display type used to be my crack. I developed an entire typeface based on the Tron logo back in the day.

that's awesome

(Should mention I created the Tron font exclusively for use on a flyer for a college radio show that like four people listened to. It was a good use of my time.)

I'm preordering this thing: https://www.amazon.com/Game-Console-History-Photographs/dp/1593277431

Also highly recommend the Art of Atari book that came out a year or so ago.

oh hey another design student figured out the Adobe Illustrator Trace function

Now, now. Perhaps it's come a long way in recent versions but my recollection is that 'trace' isn't really all that. It involves some work to overcome Adobe's apparent insistence that a copy of a straight line should have 52 anchor points.

yeah its a little more complicated than that. im just being snarky (the Batman Return one in partic looks like he just hit trace and export). still, foregoing all that you could turn on the pen tool and trace one of these logos by hand in like 5 mins.
