Wow thanks guys - this is super helpful. I’m going to mess around today and see what I can come up with.
On the artwork front, I think the border dream is over - this is the best I could do. It’s just not lining up like I had hoped and I really need to pull the trigger on ordering the art.
I think it will still look OK without it and hopefully the white t-molding will make it pop.
Any recommendations on the material to print on? Gameongrafix has a lot of choices. I want to make this somewhat high quality so it can withstand some wear and tear.
I’ll be printing the marquee, side art and CP art. Looking forward to finishing up this project...
... so in can start the next one!

That border really does distract from the art.

I'm glad to hear it - I'm sure it will look great without it. I just might have wanted to fill in the space between the UFO and robot and maybe to the right by the rock formation. Maybe some smaller UFOs in the distance or something. I'm totally nitpicking...

You could just get your artist to scale the Robot up more, since he’s vertical he can fill up that empty space a bit. That’s be the easiest tweak rather than duplicating and adjusting new elements to the image.
