None.  Lose the characters, put them on the side art or CP.  The Marquee should be all about the title.  Lose the curve, increase font size, center it up.  Use the 1st, 4th, or last font.  Keep the Jungle background with the text on top.  That should look good. 

I think you're stuck because it's over busy.

well...I like characters for marquee. maybe I will have to use something else there. problem with panel is Id have to mirror that image or the right side will be empty. Id probably go with this. looks good enough for a weeweecade(not that serious lol)

Maybe a lighter color stroke around the text to make it stand out a bit more from the background.

I like JDFan's outlined style. The original with the characters seemed like it had to much going on. Kind of hurt the eyes.
