putting your name on the marquee

I wonder how many do this?  Paul's Arcade...or just do something like Video game classics..
I guess the marquee can be swapped out anyway if the personal approach looks silly and not authentic looking.

I went with working our name into the theme.  (Super Karabinus Bros. instead of Super Mario Bros.)

I save the templates so if my kids get tired of it, I can turn it back to Super Mario Bros. marquee

Personally, I would never do it, but enough people still do. I do think it's fine for projects for little ones because they get a kick out of the ownership aspect.

I think its great for kids, or even using the family last name for a family cab. I prefer Punny names like Mortal Kabinet , Yellow Fever, etc , cause wtf is a Malenko (Malenkade?) anyway?
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

I printed up a pinball translite once and I was worried the print shop would get bitchy about the Bally logo, so I swapped in the owner's name.  He thought it was a nice touch and nobody else ever noticed.

I like great themes that are game/arcade-related. Punny names, if done right, are cool (Darkade, Shoryukade). Ya'll know my thoughts on -cade cades.
