Maybe we don’t call you ‘C-Type’ anymore?

Yeah. The name needs to be changed. Just go all in on Contra. That is a good name.

I am not a fan of the army men either. However, I don't have a better idea right now.

I didn’t realize the name was a mashup of Contra and R-Type. Eek!

Why not just full camo the sides and add your new name/logo?

You could figure out a way of making it scream Contra.  I was thinking of an idea using a vinyl sticker of the Stage 3 boss (NES Contra) that could go over that the Owl Eye coindoor, using the slots as its eyes:


or the Stage 3 Arcade boss (Garmakilma):



Purists might not want artwork on a coindoor, but I figured if you're struggling with getting this door to feel like it belongs on a Contra theme, something along these lines could help.

Yeah, C-Type has got to go.  Both games have nothing to do with each other, other than having a theme of fighting aliens. But that could be hundreds of arcade games...

Like others have said, go full-on Contra and nix the mash-up idea.  A Contra tribute cabinet would be pretty sweet.  You could give it a cool name that relates to the Contra Universe. 
Off the top of my head:

- Red Falcon (Red Falcon is the terrorist organization Bill and Lance are fighting against)
- Contra Clash
- Contra Band  ( :lol )
- Contra Continuum 
- Contra Attack
- Contra Gryzor
- C to shining C
- Mission: Contra

I like the name Red Falcon.  Could probably come up with some good artwork for that.
MiteWiseacre:
Oh wow, now I have plenty to think about lol.
Ok the name can go, watch this space for an update on the theme. The giant army men are a little erotic, my wife will adopt unrealistic expectations of men if those two are hanging around all day...
