Try to match colours between artwork on side panels/marquee and the CP. Even plain black works, or add some coloured line design like racing stripes. Then you can even paint it yourself with some rattle-cans and some well-placed paper tape.

Appreciate the response.  This is the first arcade machine I've ever built so I'm learning as I go.  I fully realize some of the decision I make won't be agreed on by others.

I understand what you're saying about distracting and things looking like a cluttered mess.  What I posted was definitely a mess and I probably should of just kept it to myself instead of ruining peoples days.....  It's a work in progress.  I don't fully understand what will be distracting though (from a game play POV).  You aren't looking at the CP while playing.  Plenty of arcades are dimly lit and you can barely see the CP anyway.  If by distracting, you just mean what you see when you walk up and look at it, I hear you.

That looks ---smurfing--- terrible.
I am getting ready for work and that collage just wrecked my whole day.
Artwork should have a theme and a purpose.
Please start over.

I have Link and Dirk on there... middle left side.  Have a few different Mario's as well.  The stuff I used was what I could find high res PNG's or vectors on.  Will check on a Galaxy Mario pic.  Might not keep all of the different versions on there either.....
