BigBlue: The Revival

[odin8yoshi]

Well, just recently my computer (BigBlue, obviously) died, cause unkown, although im guessing it was a massive stroke followed my immediate motherboard meltdown, new motherboard has been ordered and she should be up and running soon, but i would like to customize her home a bit before I turn on the power. I got some plexi a couple days ago and i plan to give her a window and etch something into it, so far im thinking about etching 'Big Blue' with a line under it and having some assorted game characters like Mario, Donkey Kong, Link, maybe Master Chief and others etched around it as well. Would it be best to photoshop a image of the right size with big blue, the characters, etc, tape it to the back and then start up the dremel? Or would sand blasting it work better? Maybe someone like NCBaller would be willing to help out a beginner ;) Anyone with some good character ideas should share : )
And of course, i will be adding some blue cathodes after the window is finished up.

P.S If anyone has a link to a window with there design frosted i would really like to see it.

Heres my simple design so far, didnt trace all of the characters onto the paper yet, thought this was adequete to give a decent idea of how it would look, tell me what you think. And yes thats 'Amd Inside' up at the top left :}.

looks good!... maybe you should do an acid etch? that might work... or even instead, paint them on with clear UV paint... so that they only show under UV light...

[odin8yoshi]

Heres the latest design, i think this may be the last one. Any suggestions?

How the heck are you going to etch something like that? It looks great but that would be a major PITA to try and etch. :eh?:

Plus it's a chaotic scramble of various images. Pick one uniform image or find a way to meld them uniquely.

Yeah, i kind of realized how pointless it is to try someting like that after i actually etched something today. Going to do a large dragon, crono, or something with Big Blue across the top and 'AMD Inside' at the bottom right. Does anyone have a dragon picture that would be good for etching?
