Arcade Marquees as Artwork
« on: March 16, 2013, 02:54:11 pm »
I've just finished (for now anyway) my display of framed marquees, I don't have room for the real machines, but the marquees are still great to have!



These have all been lovingly colour matched, recreated and framed by Tim and Mark over at The Artcade Project (http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/artcadedotcodotuk?_trksid=p2047675.l2559), Fantastic guys to deal with!

Looks good!  I've seen people use marquees as artwork before.  Are yours backlit too?

They look great Chris (despite City Link's extreme durability testing and ad-hoc game of hide & seek!)  ;D

As for the backlighting; we're just about to drop some serious £££ on another printer, suitable for printing on polyester backlit material, vinyl and all sorts of other interesting substrates. It'll come with a new spectrophotometer too so colour matching will be a lot less labour intensive.
