One thing that has stuck with me is the marquee. Due to the small-form nature of bartops, I find the glare on your eyes from the lit-up Marquee area to be too distracting, because of the position you're sitting in, you're basically being shone straight in the face by it.
But this marquee feels so elegant being clean and simple.
I'm not sure if you discussed it before, I didn't completely read through the thread, but it's also giving me the idea that perhaps a little 'halo' (under) lighting would make the Nintendo sign look great as well, without having that light-in-your-face marquee. Just thinking out loud here, as you're 100% complete with this project, but perhaps it'll give others some ideas as well.
edit: wait, is there halo lighting here? I can't really tell from the final pictures, since the machine isn't turned on...
