Hey buddy, i was going to print in autoadhesive vinyl offset a plain blue color trying to match the original ones but I ended up visiting an art supply shop and they had these kind of contact vinyls on variety of colors, and I got this blue which is very very near the ones from stock. You could try that, maybe google art shops near your living area and call them first inquiring for this, I'm sure they will have it. Or you can try a quality offset print with a coded blue color as near as you think, or taking your stock sample to the printer so they can match it.
 
Hey! thank you so much for the precise info you are sharing, i just used an OCR translator to try to get some clues.
Can you read the names of the signature in the seals?
I am a Chinese,I don't speak English。All texts are translated through Google Translate, hope you can understand
in the picture“檢查証”You can understand it as two words ,"檢查"It means "check",“証”It means "proof".
“製造”It means "MADE"
“組立”It means "assemble,"“承認”It means "final confirmation"
“点檢”It means "check every part"And “檢查”It means the inspection of the whole project.
“檢查 濟”It means "checked".“濟”It means already, in Chinese“已檢查”English is the past tense of checking words.Explanation, check is complete.
“製造第二部”It means making the The second sector.
Seal is a part of East Asian culture, which is used in places that cannot be signed Or art.The Chinese characters in the seal represent surnames.“沖田”Japanese romaji is“Okita”(representative figure Japanese adult film actor ANRI OKITA)“近藤”Japanese romaji is“Kondo”.“平井”Japanese romaji is“Hirai”,“藤石”Japanese romaji is“Fujiishi”

"CAPCOM GENERATION official guide book" Clearly mention the color of CAPCOM LOGO.
Blue color number is“DIC184/C100+M80”.The yellow color number is“DIC86/M20+Y100”
I hope it will help you.

Oh, just saw you were replying this related to side color artwork. I really don't think they did it matching the capcom blue color code in this case, but it's not far from that color scheme anyways.
 
@hsw61256 thanks for your input, for taking the time to provide meaningful insights about the label, thanks for the capcom logo color codes I will add this info in the post! :thumbsup:
You are welcome!Actually, I am also an arcade enthusiast. In fact, before I entered this forum as a tourist and saw your post, I registered as a member. I am very happy to help you.
I have learned a lot here. You should know that it is not easy to access the Internet in China.
I will learn little by little how to help others on this website.As Lenin said, "there will be bread, there will be milk”Ha ha!Although Lenin didn't really say that

You're doing great work. I wish others would help out the community more than just flexing countless rare pieces that they have 😒
You are partially correct. The majority of Q25 owners contribute nothing.
There are probably 4 of us owners over the last 12yrs that have helped "the community" across several forums. There are also a few owners that have made promises that will never happen.
Not to mention a ton of unreasonable requests sent to me in the last 12yrs from across the world.

My cabinet is played weekly. Its not for photoshoots and bragging rights. There are still a bunch of Q25s sitting in Mexico rusting to death since the closure of a chain amusement company that bought over 300 of them ages ago along with a few hundred Cute. Some of them over the last 15yrs have been bought and restored (like mine). Others that were bought just collect dust and are still improperly stored. It's also the type of cabinet project that takes years to source parts depending on what you need. It took me 4 years just to find an original marquee to get reproduced so others could make or buy them.

@MostroVeneno Keep up the good work.
 
@ReplicaX thanks, I've being following your Q-25 documentation since I joined AP and has served me of inspiration. I'm trying to document things as well as you can read in this post, I think @Kidkaos was referencing the cpo issue, and I think it has become a thing between Q-25 owners since no one has proven to have what it takes ( and It just takes to have a cellphone, and take some pictures ). I hope I can finish it soon and end this exclusive nonsense. As for other thoughts and insights I hope people can comment about theirs and share the experience. Thanks for passing by and writing your thoughts.

Yes, for some reason the SFII CPO has always been an issue. After I finished the standard CPO and shared it, myself and others offered to repro the SFII CPO (as my cabinet was a standard CPO) and no one stepped up.

Only other thing I can contribute is. When I visited JP in 2005 I was able to talk to a few Capcom Plaza employees and look at several Q25s. Based on this, the Q options when they came out were simple:
- Rotation mech or no mech
- SFII overlay or standard
- All Q25s came with the network board
- While the design of the Control Panel was made to be swappable. No various CP options were given outside of a 1P or 2P panel. The ad showing the 3P panel and the fact the cabinet having 3 coin shoots is obvious, but no one has seen or purchased any official 3P panel that we are aware of to this day.

During my time in JP, I also visited Capcom HQ in Osaka. Which even had a Q25 in one of the main break rooms during my VIP visit. No one was willing to give any production info, including numbers of rotate mech vs no mech. In 2009, I tried using my connections within the company in JP, a high position that I will not reveal due to a NDA. They were unable to help me with any information on the Q25.

I find this with amaze, Q-25 seems to gather some myst in many ways, I find this kind of research and information you provide very valuable, can I quote you in my post I think #3 or #4? i still have some other things left to write.

Feel free and anyone that has any more information. I'm all ears.
 
@MostroVeneno the characters are looking good. Hope the ai file was of some help.
I went and compare with my positioning and scale of the characters in the canvas and it's pretty similar, the thing is in this case there's always distortion in many ways. I'm doing the best I can so this is not noticeable in the final results.

When working with no good references you come across these problems to name a few:

Perspective and Skewing problems
Position, scale, rotation and shape distortions
Lack of details, general references and resolution
Etc

Here's a quick update with WIP of SSF2 CPO.
I really haven't had the time I would like to finish this project yet though I'm keeping this rolling.
It's looking more promising every time I get back to it.
I think I'll make a print run hopefully next month and I wonder if this would be of any interest in here for you people. Maybe I can print a batch for the interested, I'll also test materials to match the closer as it gets to OG.
In the future I'm thinking doing custom CPO with Cps1.5 artwork for the Q-25, so maybe this would be first step/ testing waters to gather interest check with the SSF2 one.
