Vector Rock Ola Logo
It was requested that I do a simple vector job, trace the classic Rock Ola Logo. I didn’t find an .ai file on Local Arcade, and although I figure that someone else has probably traced this logo before, it is so simple that vectorizing the Rock Ola logo in Illustrator again was hardly a concern.
I had some time tonight after my final in Information Technology Strategy 610 that I thought I would crank the Rock Ola logo out. There isn’t really anything of real interest to note, a one color logo I was told that the primary color is Pantone 2935C. The file was scanned for me, and I just did the trace, punched out the necessary pieces and the file was done in a flash. I told the collector that he should send me some dimensions measured from his current Rock Ola sideart decal, so that I could verify that the artwork was correctly sized and that it had a cutline. I’ll be waiting to hear back from him on that.
It is my understanding that the individual who wanted this vector logo will print out a couple of inkjet copies of it for their arcade games. No big deal, just a fun little job.

@JAri:
You have look at the Rock-Ola logos that were on some of the old arcade games they produced. I worked from a scan of a damaged piece of sideart, so I am 99% sure that the blue Rock-Ola logo is correct. Plus, I’ve seen it on some of those old cabinets.
Nice work Jeff. Any plans to release the trace to prOk, Rich or another printer to do some side art runs? I have an Eyes project that requires this side art. Thanks
I ‘kind’ of did the Rock Ola logo vectors on commission, however, the interested party hasn’t gotten me sizes of the logo since I did the vectoring….so who knows. It is kind of up to him. I think you’re more likely to get a digital print of this than a silk screen however…
Very nicely done! This truly is a piece of art that I never thought would be reproduced. Looks great!
Thanks man. Rock Ola had some really simple stuff, but since most of their cabinets used this logo it applies to a lot of games. I hope some more people buy the cabinet decal. Are you going to?
