GameStone's Windy Logo

Here's a Konami Windy logo used on their arcade machines with the same name.

Over the years I've made a few special logos for the site including ones for various games made by Konami.

GameStone's Otomedius G (Gorgeous!) Logo

オトメディウスG(ゴージャス!)

Release 1 v0.2 - 28th March 2018

Otomedius G (Gorgeous!) Unofficial logo by GameStone.

I chose the 'G' position to be more in the middle because the word 'Gorgeous' has more characters than the Japanese Katakana version (9 vs 6), the 'G' was too hidden otherwise, plus it's closer to the tail of the letter 'M' making the layout more balanced.

I also chose not the have the halo effect at this time, this would be needed if it was going to be place on the title page like the title screen of the game.

GameStone's Otomedius X (Excellent!) Box Art

I'm disappointed with the logo used on the US release of the game and made my own version last year, I've now put together some box art of how it would look on the official release.

I also made some fake PS3 and PSP box art for the fun of it, note that the full size version are rather large.

GameStone's Otomedius X (Excellent!) Logo

オトメディウスX(エクセレント!)

I started designing these after Konami announced the US release of the game, mainly because the US official logo looks a bit rushed and boring, so here is my take on what the English should look like.

I've tried to make the logo in the same style of the Japanese original version shown below.

Now this should be the Official logo as I would say it looks great, very colourful and in the same style as the Japanese original.

Release 2 v0.8 - 28th March 2018

Otomedius Excellent Unofficial logo by GameStone.

Moved the word 'Excellent' down and to the right as I did not like the way it over lapped the tail of the X hiding some detail, tweaked some of the shading.

Release 1 v2

Otomedius Excellent Unofficial logo by GameStone.

I updated the 'X' character as the first release looked more like an 'H', also redone the '!' (exclamation mark) as the star looked a little too small.

You will notice that the original Japanese logo has the top green colour only on the first character, so I decided to abandon this version and start from scratch as this was easier than editing this version.

Left image - Some detail is lost behind the table so I moved the table and Octopus down, then lengthen the table.

Right image - I added more cloud and put the rest of the sofa in that Octopus is sitting on.

GameStone's Windy pixel art

Konami has made a few different arcade machines over the years, in 1996 they released the Konami Windy コナミ ウィンディ, then two years later in 1998 they updated to JVS and brought out the Konami Windy II コナミ ウィンディ II

I started with the 32x32 pixel version for the Arcade Games section then decided to do a more detailed version.

I doubling the size, re-edited it and adding more detail, I've also started a 256x256 version but it's taking a very long time to add the needed detail and much more detail in needed due to the extra pixels.

32px, 64px v1, 64px v2, 64px v3, 64px v3 Top and the new 128px version.
