Sunset Drive HUD Frames

Sunset Drive HUD Frames is a set of 10 heads-up display frames drawn in the vaporwave style, where rounded and folded corners carry pink-and-teal slabs over a deep indigo ground. It contains a minimap frame with a north marker, a character portrait frame, a compass strip, three crosshair reticles, an objective waypoint marker and a quest tracker plate.

These are the pieces that stay on screen the whole time a game is being played, which makes them the hardest to get right: every one of them has to be readable over arbitrary game art without covering the middle of the screen.

This is the one frame style that allows a curve; every other one in the catalogue is strictly angular. The gradients run across the long axis in two saturated stops rather than fading to a neutral, because a washed-out vaporwave gradient reads as a mistake rather than as a mood.

Inside that style this is the Sunset Drive reading of it: a dark interface on a twilight indigo palette with flamingo pink accents, built around a single bordered frame, chamfered buttons at 176x48, hollow-cored bars divided into 8 segments, and two-tone icons on a 32px grid. Those measurements are why two families can share an art style without being interchangeable: the style decides how an edge is drawn, the numbers decide what the interface is for.

The quest plate marks a completed objective with a filled box and a struck-through line rather than by dimming it, so the tracker stays legible against a bright sky. The compass ticks alternate major and minor so a heading can be read at a glance rather than counted.

Every sprite ships as an editable SVG and as transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x, so you can drop the PNGs straight into an engine or open the vector and change a colour. Built to the same measurements as the rest of the Sunset Drive family, which means this kit and the Sunset Drive panel kit line up without either being resized. A good fit for synthwave, dusk-set and retro-romantic interfaces.
