It could be something as simple as a logo or duplicating colors. Seeing them together in your first post, they don't appear to be off the same machine.
I actually think you should ditch the existing CP art altogether and carry the beer theme down to the panel. Its original and simple enough to look like "real" machine art.

The picture I posted isn't the final marquee, it's just the logo in the middle of the marquee. I just thought the Miller Lite logo would work nicely with the cab (my last name, and the blue/red colors tie in nicely). Once I figure out the logo I like, I'll make sure everything matches.

I appreciate the your opinions. I like the CP art, so I think I'm going to keep it. It seems like if there are any characters on the CP or if it isn't space themed, people here don't like it, which is fine. I just never did understand all of planets and space themes on the CPs.
I want my arcade to feel be like an arcade. That's why I went the direction I did. Some people like it, some don't.
I do appreciate all of your opinions. It's all subjective.
:cheers:

but keep in mind: arcades generally have one theme all over.
I don't dislike your CP.
but if you have a logo on the side, a logo on the marquee... better keep the same logo on the CP.
Or, what I say is ditch the miller logo everywhere else and keep with the CP-themed artwork all over.
Now, if you don't care about people's opinion, why do you post a thread asking for opinion?
nevermind... its your box, you'll be the one regretting the decision in the long run, so what do we care?

Ouch, brutal.
I'm not planning to use the logo on the side. Just the Marquee. I haven't worked on the side art yet at all, but I am thinking about including screen shots of my fav arcade games somehow. Maybe as an 50% opaque background, I dunno yet.
Anyway, I never said I didn't care about people's opinions. But that doesn't mean I have to follow everything I am told here either. I hear opinions and take them into consideration.
The cab won't be as mismatched as you are imagining. I want to keep the theme of the CP, just an arcade like style...but I want to name the arcade MillerCade, so I thought it would be clever to use the Miller Lite logo. I never imagined theming the cab after Miller Lite. I want text with the name on my Marquee regardless, I just thought the stylized Miller Lite logo will work.
Let me work on the Marquee this week, and I'll try to post a near complete version of it. It's hard to verbalize my ideas sometimes. But my plan in the beginning is to have an arcade feel with some arcade characters etc.
