I chose the name 'Revolution' as it fits well with the revolving nature of the main screen which will be a big challenge to build, I love the Marvel vs. Capcom styles and artwork and figured I couldn't go wrong with such a big bold theme. Also I plan for the cabinet to look different enough in style that it would be considered to be a little unorthadox in it's form.

I've done hardly any woodworking in the past and I have never even picked up a router so this should prove very interesting.

Before I even get started I want to thank the following forum members for their support, posts, sharing of knowledge and inspiration:

Le Chuck:
Welcome, looking forward to seeing the dual screen integration and your theme.

griffindodd:
Created my artwork tonight, 300dpi 70" high documents sure do make my laptop warm lol. Poor computer was huffing and puffing.

No doubt these designs may change over time but I am pretty happy with them for my first go round. Updated the OP with some pics.

What do you think?

PL1:
The sideart and marquee look great.   :applaud:

Two observations on the CPO:

1. Looks like the lower mounting bolt for the trackball is going to be right in the middle of the Marvel logo.

2. You may want to consider adjusting or removing the really heavy solid surrounds.  It seems like they distract from the rest being so photo-realistic.

If you decide to keep them, maybe adjust the transparency or apply some other effect/filter/gradient.

Parting question -- Are you sure about the yellow for P2?   :dunno
(Just saying that even though the capcom logo text is yellow, it does have blue outlining/fill.)
