I wanna get two done.....but no idea of what designs.  Where are you guys getting your layout designs.  This'll be my first marquee.

Hey,

I am working on my first arcade cabinet build and I am having a ton of fun. I almost have everything put together and I am starting to look for side art, marquee and control panel artwork. I see that you are able to print all three.

From what I am seeing you are offering primarily a printing service using equipment and skills on the manufacturing side. With pre-selected artwork does the price vary at all depending on the images chosen for my project?

I am loving what I am seeing so far. Your goods are turning out great for people! I was reading from the beginning and totally would have taken a chance on your $10 up front product cost and I am glad so many others had the same faith in you. Clearly you are an asset to this community! I look forward to hearing from you and I appreciate your time.

-Korn

Hi Korn,

Thanks for posting here. My fees are minimal and cover the costs of materials (vinyl, ink, application tape, etc) and my prices do not vary based on the type of artwork provided. I'd you have 2 different designs and they are the same size they will be the same price. I provide quotes based on dimensions and not based on design. Hope that helps!

That definitely does help me quite a bit. I am wondering if you would be able to point me in the direction of where to find some decent artwork. Is it taboo to use images that are already out their and floating around on the net or have been crafted?

I believe you have e-mailed me and I will get the dimensions put together and sent to you soon but would like to narrow down the artwork prior to that as well. I appreciate your time and you seem to have many happy arcade hobbyists that support your work. Keep it up!

A number of people who share there artwork here, and as long as you are using art that was posted to be shared or you get permission from the creator, then it is not taboo at all. You can poke around the project announcements and artwork boards here and see if there is anything you like and even if the artwork files are not posted, it doesn't hurt to ask to use the design and see if you can get a high resolution copy.

You can also start your own artwork thread and people here are very helpful in threshing out artwork for a cabinet. Starting a thread to work out what you want on your cabinet is a really great way to get art that you will be happy with.

For example:

Plus many more.

After reviewing this thread this newbie very interested in ordering 19 marquees. I have a project room undergoing remodel where I have incorporated back lit frames in a soffit in a arcade themed game room. This product would be perfect!

What is the procedure to order? PM stpcore or other method?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I'm in the same boat as Bilko. I'd like to get reproductions of existing marquees however.

If you guys don't mind can you please not post marquees in this thread?  I believe an artwork thread exists and those would be better suited for there.  Thanks!

There is a vector image of the Mr. Do marquee here - http://vectorlib.free.fr/MrDO/

Not sure if it is already to original size or would need to be resized but since it is a vector image should be fairly easy to print to size ! ( looks like it is currently 23.4" x 6.5" @ 300DPI when exported to photoshop ) - IF that is the size you need it and is the correct marquee - let me know and I'll upload a .png version to dropbox if you need it in .png rather than .ai format

hello friends.

Here is an image I'd like printed.  Its 96dpi.  I've always heard that dpi should be higher for printing.  But this is pixel art. So...

How do you think it will look printed on the translite?

I know OP wants the file sent in email...  Should I have this printed?

if you dont mind jaggies theres no harm in scaling that up. Looks like it could be easily vectorized, but then you looks the pixel look.
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'm interested in placing an order, are you still printing these marquee's on translite?

If you are, how do I go about placing an order?  The system won't let me PM you, and I don't see an email access.

I would like a few backlit marquee's for a few megatouch aurora's. The originals i have say "powered by Ion 2009" but im running 2012-2014 on them. What would i need to do to get some made up that either just say "Megatouch" using the newer style megatouch logo, or possible just change the 2009 to 2012 and 2014.

I can Photoshop but im not familiar with the format you need and if there is any rgb color profile you need.
