I need ideas and input

[dorimcheon]

This is what I am going to be using for station signs and it will be pasted onto the wall.

At the top will include the station number, middle would be the actual station name. Left side will include next station and right side will include previous station.

But what should I fill in for the bottom (question mark area). Any ideas? Please...

The line(s) that run through the station i.e. the red and blue line trains

The whole thing would be colored to match the line color.
If there are transfers I was planning on putting a seperate strip above the fat one in the middle, but maybe I should put it in the bottom ...

any more ideas? thanks

Maybe depending on the actuall size of the sign maybe the schedule.

... sponsored by ...

... operator logo (e.g. Amtrak)

... McDonald's ... Hungry Jacks ... Taco Bell ... Walmart ...

Just a few ideas.

Can you really put company logos into my thing? Aren't there thorny legal implications ...

I remember Valve got sued by Subway because Subway did not give permission for Valve to put their ads in Counter-strike...

But if I can make several fictitious ones that I can work (there will be like 12 of these on each side of the platform)

If you look at some of the assets on the DLS, such as shops and petrol (gas) stations, some use real names and logos (e.g. Shell, McDonalds) others use fictitious ones (e.g. BB instead of BP but with the same colour scheme).

I can understand a copyright owner suing when their name or logo is used illegally for commercial purposes but non-commercial use, such as a scenery item in a computer game where the author receives no payment - wouldn't that be called "product placement"?

Wow...

Wow...


I just lost a whole lot of respect for Subway. They would SUE for free advertising!? Most companies have to shell out big bucks to get advertisements in video games or movies. They seriously gotta be nuts to do something like that...

Unless of course, the advertisement was a negative one...but somehow I doubt that.

Man, there are wayyy too many lawyers and not enough gamers!
