[Opinions / Critiques / Suggestions] Marquee

Hi everybody, I just create a little Marquee for my bartop arcade, I just want to know your opinion about it ?
I don't know about the right side, with pacman ?

(Ps : If you loved and want the .psd with the layers, I can give it to you)

Its a good start. The left side with DK really pops out more vs's the rest of it, might just be the color and detail. IMO the arcade font needs more, like a thicker outline or something.

I think you should reconsider your design. Here is some constructive feedback:

1. New Super Mario Bros. was never in the arcades
2. The art style between pac-man, DK and mario bros do not match. For example, pac-man and the mario background are 3D but DK is 2D
3. None of the layers look like they belong together. (see #2) The background does't blend with the foreground.

If you can read this, it means Photobucket's money grab ruined my signature photos.

You're right I know for the #1 but it was a good picture ^^ I'll delete it, right for the #2 and #3 that's why I was ... "in trouble" with the pac-man part
