We've created a number of graphics for the Noisebridge Gaming Archivists and the Noisebridge Gaming Archivists Live Arcade Cabinet.
We've created a number of graphics for the [[Noisebridge_Gaming_Archivists|Noisebridge Gaming Archivists]] and the [[NGALAC|Noisebridge Gaming Archivists Live Arcade Cabinet]].


Of course, we are all welcome to create whatever graphics we like, but if we want to keep our graphics characteristic of the NGA / NGALAC image, here are our guidelines and downloadable assets.

These guidelines are for NGA and NGALAC related graphics. When incorporating more general Noisebridge logos please use the typical red / black logos or some other variation, to help differentiate. The Noisebridge Red / Black color scheme should not be used for NGA / NGALAC graphics, but instead reserved for general Noisebridge logos. The idea is that the NGA is a sub entity within Noisebridge and which supports the larger space and community. NGA related graphics should, somehow, reflect that relationship. For Noisebridge logos and Identity see [[Identity]].

=== General Notes and Primary Colors ===
=== Colors ===


NGA graphics should draw inspiration from retro gaming and retro (1970's- 1980's) future aesthetic.
The NGALAC cabinet is inspired by 1970's - 1980's modern/future design. In comparison, NGALAC related graphics should be more specifically inspired by a "dark mode" TRON aesthetic.

The license is $5 and maybe used for non-commercial uses. As a free alternative for personal use there is the TR2N typeface by Jeff Bell. However, there are relatively important differences in these typefaces for the B and G characters which make ISOMORPHIC a better choice for the NGA logo.

The NGALAC logo uses ALIEN ENCOUNTERS SOLID by ShyWedge and is freely available as freeware on several font websites. Note that the non solid (striped) ALIEN ENCOUNTERS is not used for NGALAC text.

The NGALAC dark logo is the default logo and follows the "dark mode" aesthetic of NGALAC graphics. It should be used anytime control of the background color is available, such as digital and full color printing contexts.
