[quote name='gordojones88']When you first indicated your button colors, I thought it was a hideous choice.
Now that I see where you're going with the Pac-Man theme, it's an excellent choice.
My stick is also just for Pac-Man CE DX which I got to play using the Seimitsu stick with last night.
The Seimitsu has a 4-leaf clover type 4-way restrictor, whereas the Sanwa has the diamond shaped.
I like the pixelated Pac-Man look in the game.
I'm trying really hard to incorporate my design into the clear skeleton Seimitsu buttons.
You could conceivably put the ghosts into colored buttons with clear tops.
It would really make the ghosts pop out of the solid black background,
and look like the new Pac-Man CE DX with the conga line of neon colored ghosts.
I've noticed in other people's designs that small characters work better and make the stick platform look bigger.
With the clear button tops, you could even put the LEDs in the colored buttons too.
Can you make a pic with 8 smaller ghosts where the buttons are.
Don't put circles or anything around the ghosts, just make them fit.
Here is an arcade Pac-Man template made for the SE stick.

Yeah, I was wondering if someone was going to call me out on the color choices. The only issue is the color of the orange, the button is way darker (or it appears that way) than the ghost is. I can either ignore that or darken the ghost a little to bridge the gap and hopefully make it unnoticeable.
I did consider a ghost in the button scenario but was afraid I wasn't going to be able to work it out. I was picturing a black outline so the button color formed the ghost.
I like that pac man art you have, how long did it take you to put that together? I've thought about using the pac man and ghosts that I have at the bottom and right where the stick bevels upward creating a different set of artwork, very similar to yours. I just wasn't able to find what I was looking for to play around with that. Plus that is a design that might look better in my head than in reality.
I've also thought about tossing the whole old school design in favor of Pac-Man CE DX but again I can't find quite what I'm looking for. Plus my button colors might not work quite the same with that.
