michelevit:
i use the sandwich method and it works great.
bottom piece is luane. a 4x8 foot sheet of this is about 15 dollars.

the top is thin plexi from tap plastic.
artwork is printed on a color lazer printer.

held in place with two button head allens or phillips.

Thanks guys!
What material should I print the marquee... If I do a color print on regular paper, will that give the same effect as a real arcade?  I thought it would be a transparent Vinyl material?

I do like the sandwich idea...  Trying to find cheapest solutions that still looks authentic ;)

I went with gameongrafix.com. There is an option to get the order with plexi cut to the same size as your marquee.

All you have to do is upload your artwork. Fill out the size that you need and they send you the 3 pieces.

Here's a video of me installing mine:
