What do you think of my side art (mockup)?

Hello,
With my current love of the colour vermillion and taking inspiration from Barry Sheene's orange striped motorbike of the 70's I came up with this. What do you think (the only difference between the two is the fade?

When in doubt, Comic Sans.

No, seriously, try IMPACT or something like that.

swap out the invader for John Belushi and you're golden.



If you want fonts, search for the Visual Pinball font set.  It has a ton of arcade looking fonts.
