Displaying Marquees - Recommendations on how to do so?
« on: April 10, 2006, 04:14:10 pm »
I was thinking about getting a bunch of marquees and hanging them in my office at home. Has anyone done this? Any good suggestions? One problem I could see is that they probably look a ton better with some sort of back lighting

Build yourself a box and light it with flourescents. Go to Kinkos or mame marquees and print up some marquee's using backlit vinyl.

I've seen them hanging up without backlit and I thought they still looked pretty cool. Maybe get the marquees first and see what you think.
