The Official/Unofficial Memorial Celebrity Awareness Kikizo Faceplate Worklog For the Cure

If you've got one, can you send me a larger image/psd/whatever of the Kikizo K, and Kikizo logo itself?

Thanks.

What sort of resolution are we talking. I've got versions of the logo so big my PC can barely open them. How geeky is that.

Also, what's it for?

Hmm... methinks a case mod is in the works.

LOL! Me? Casemod. You're funny.

You guessed it.

What sort of resolution are we talking.

Final product will be five or so inches across. I just need something larger than the current logo. Somewhere between double that one, and full screen size will do (I prefer to go a little large, as I can always resize before I ship it off.

PM'd.

I got a Kikizo tatto on my ass but they said they spelled it wrong and now i cant use a toaster.

...are you wasted?

It sounds more like he's stoned.

And you can tell this just by reading? Damn you're good

maybe he meant toilet

It makes sense. If you're drunk, your fine motor coordination goes down the shitter. Not so when you're high, at least not the potheads I know.

Ghost becomes more articulate when high, at least in writing anyway. It's actually really funny.

I doubt I'm more articulate (if so it's ony because I try more) but I tend to have better ideas, assuming it's a pure Sativa and not an Indica.

After about three months, and tons of email tag, I've finally gotten the stuff I need to finish this project. I did a test plate tonight, and the results look pretty sweet, if I do say so myself.

Methodology, and tons of photos later this week.

Looking forward to the case mod eddie...

NOVEMBER 18th, 2008


One stock Xbox 360 Faceplate.


Buttons removed, face sanded.


I'm experimenting with using vynil stamps as decals, and so far, the results have been promising.


I dust the portion of faceplate I want the Kikizo logo on in black, to provide a black outline for the text.


I apply the decal, in preparation for painting the other two layers of color.


because I fouled up my decal request, the guy that runs these off for me sent me what I ordered, which was just the outlines, where I really wanted the entire deal, with just the lines cut. This means I had to tape up the outline of the plate by hand.

 It'll all make more sense when the results are final, some time next week, however, I did get excited and do a two-tone mock-up plate...

Pretty nice!  That faceplate and similar ones should be on all of the Xbox 360's at the next E3.  Talk about a cool promotion.

I think I like the first pic best, with the black lettering on white.

Lovely. Very well done.

Thanks guys. It's not finished yet. The blue was a five minute job, (as you can see, the ROL plastic has been totally obscured) and the black on white was just a black decal on a white plate for sizing. The final plate will be blue, with black outlined white text, and it'll be shipped to somebody here. You'll get a PM if it's you.

If any of you guys are interested, I'll be doing custom plates after this period of my semester ends.

I forgot we had private messages!

So, Eddie, are you charging cash for these custom faceplates?  I've got Cheesaw License plates, might as well get a Cheesaw faceplate as well.

Nice man. Simple and it looks great.

Very cool. The white on black would look good too.

Looks great Eddie. 

Wow, that looks awesome

That, my friend, is a thing of beauty :) Can I have one? I'll give you an additional cup of tea...

Speaking of Eddie inventions, how is/did that arcade come along?

It's my long term tinker project. I've got all the bits (including some buttons), but I go through spells of inspiration, and right now I'm in a painting sort of mood.

'Fraid I'll have to charge after this first one. I'd love to do hand-outs, but I don't have the capital at the moment, though I'll be glad to do one for anybody who's willing to A) Pay for paint, decals and a faceplate, or B) ship me their faceplate, and pay for paint & decals.

I haven't gotten a response from my first offer.

Edwin, care for an official unofficial memorial celebrity pro-am faceplate for the cure?

Hey, I only just saw this today! Pretty cool! How did it end up?

I have no idea where it went. I've sorta divested myself of a lot of my modding gear. I still have the passion for the art form, just no real drive to pursue it any more.

Gotta have wound up better off than my Half-Life 2 plate. I lost that one on the roof of my car on the freeway a few years back...
