Okay, so it's not very often I say this, but I could use some help with something I'm working on. I'm pretty crappy at photoshop/photo editing so when I come up with an idea for something I want to do/throw into a video I can't do it because I don't have the prowess to do it. However I'm hoping someone here does.
So here's the deal: At the end of each video of Superman 64 I want to post a count of how many rings we've flown through so far. I'd like to make the counts look like the end of Act screens from Sonic 3 (See attached image) but I couldn't find any sprite sites with the same font. I did find the NiseSegaSonic font but it doesn't quite match. Is anyone able to help me do this? Credit'll be given to you in the vids if you want that. Any help's appreciated.
It would need to say: Superman Got Through Act 1 (or whatever number we're at) and then a Ring counter would appear. I've got sprites for the Act 1 and Act 2 icons (Also attached) but I need to also make them for Acts 3 - 7

I think I might be able to help. I'm curious as to why a font is needed though. Couldn't the letters in that second image be copied and pasted and formed into words? Also, are you talking about a still image that just displays the total number of rings or are you wanting a fast countdown like in the actual sonic games?

Drax is a bit better than me with photoshop, but I'll try my hand as well.
EDIT:
Done with example pic. I can change the scores and acts to the needed values, so just let me know and I'll make some images that have accurate numbers.

Intresting idea, though its a bit of an insult to compare sonic to this crappy game...
Sonic 2006. Moving on...

Goddamnit, Jon, you could've put a spoiler warning. You just made the time when I see the videos are uploaded that little bit less special.
Sorry dude, I just want to get this stuff done so I can get the LP posted.

Most of the image is transparent.
Ah nice. I don't need the score/time sections as much as the total section and a ring section but this is excellent. Are you able to do the Acts 3 - 7? Also by any chance do you have an image with the numbers 0 - 9? If you don't, don't worry I can just get that myself.

I'd like to do a fast countdown although I can do that in an editing suite as long as I have the numbers.
I'm going with the original graphics, and considering the game doesn't have an act 3-7, there's no graphics for them. What I could do is make some numbers in the same style as the 1 and the 2.
Also no, I don't have all the numbers. I'm missing 2, 5, 6, and 9.
So to summarize, you don't need score or time, just rings. You'll need "SUPERMAN GOT THROUGH ACT 1-7."
Do you want the ring/time bonuses? Or should I replace that with a slightly larger "TOTAL RINGS" thing?

I don't need the Ring/Time Bonuses, they would be replaced with a Total Rings section, yeah. You're dead on.

Well since I'm replacing Ring Bonus with Total Rings, the ring counter in the corner is kinda useless. Do you want me to keep it there or remove it?
Yeah, the stuff in the top left's not necessary.
