Me too. I'm slightly concerned about the UFOs being too close to the top edge where the marquee retainer will sit. I don't want them to get covered even a little bit. I'm going to ask the artist to slightly shrink the lettering and then move the UFOs down a bit... just in case.
What about the CP? I'm struggling with the color scheme. Now I think I like BOTTOM LEFT but without the diagonal stripes (so looking like TOP LEFT). My main concern is all three pieces colored to compliment each other. The design aspect ties them together nicely, IMO, just not sure the colors do.
opt2not:
You could have 1 larger UFO in the middle of Jack Attack. Perhaps one side of the UFO can be behind the "k" of Jack, while the other side is slightly covering the "A", giving it a 3D effect. I did a similar thing to my R-type II marquee with the Option pod.
**Edit: Remember, things don't always need to be symmetrical. Asymmetry is more interesting to look at, while mirroring tends to get glazed over by people.
yamatetsu:
CP top right.
CP top left.
CP bottom right.
CP bottom left.
I'd say that none of the colors match the side and the marquee, the CP bottom left would be my choice if I absolutely had to pick one.
Regarding the UFO's in the marquee, I would either add some sort of light cone emitting from the UFOs so that they 'highlight' the logo or use one UFO as per opt2not's suggestion.

Thanks for the advice. I was actually thinking about asking to place the UFO behind the lettering but much bigger on the LEFT only and eliminating the UFO on the right altogether. I think overlapping letters, etc. might be too much at this stage - we've gone back and forth many times already.

Thank you for this. It is so much easier to visualize the whole package. I am going to ask the artist to redo the colors like this:
Just trying to bring in all the colors we've already used. Should be easy enough. I'm also going to ask that the UFO emit light like the side art - great idea.
Thoughts?
Malenko:
1 UFO on the marquee, keep the one on the "jack side"
Stylize the A to look like the robots face. eyes and nose make the hole in the A, the "mouth grill" makes the bottom part.
