MIDIbox SID-NUXX Rear Panel
MIDIbox SID-NUXX Rear Panel Beta
(Click for full res view…)
That right there is my proposed idea for the rear panel of the MIDIbox SID-NUXX. The angled slots at the tops are vent holes, the grey rings around the corner holes are countersinks, and the hashed rings around the Audio In and Out holes denote the space taken up by the plastic retaining nuts.
So, what do you think of it?
I’m not sure about the labeling beneath Power, and MIDI In / Thru / Out. I think that maybe it should be moved up a bit… But when the labels aren’t in a straight line, things look odd. Done. I think it looks okay.
I’m also not sure about the ‘MIDIbox SID-NUXX’ text. It should fit in well, because in real life the vent holes should appear dark. But should I have a bit more text beneath it? Maybe www.nuxx.net? Changed this too. I think it still looks all right.
Still need that logo?
Thanks, but not really. I wouldn’t mind seeing it for possible future use, though.
With regards to this, the minimum tool size available is .2mm, so there’s essentially a minimum resolution available for artwork. :\

Is that Windows Vista I’m seeing that you’re running?
I dig this color scheme

Plus, the letters should be OCR font.
Re: I dig this color scheme
The problem is, I’m limited to what can be done artwork-wise. All artwork has to be engraved with a tool, and there is a minimum size on tools. There is also an additional charge every time colors are changed. That panel right there is going to be $40-some as it is. :\
