Starting to put together some marquee CONCEPTS

(+_+):
How about some egyptian theme where you have an arcade machine in the center instead of King Tuts image (see link). The machine in the center of the marquee might look cool using the color scheme in the image to give it that 'Artifact' look. Just an idea.

ARTIFACT:
thanks for the input!

My definition of the word "artifact" specifically in this context is this:

"This is a time capsule, an artifact found by a future civilization - a relic from the end of the 20th century"

:)

... hence the 80's look on the "artifact" sign/marquee

I know it's a bit "different" - that's how I envision it.

The first silver looking marquee is very hard to read for me. I believe it would look alot better if the actual letters were tilted about 45degrees towards to person viewing it rather than have the letters facing almost completely upwards. Just a comment, feel free to ignore it of course.

Yep indeed you are correct it's not 100% obvious/communicative... it's an homage to that game... Can't remember the name... "Block Something" :) ... this font is after that marquee I believe (BTW I did not create the font).

To me it's part of the "cheesy" side of this project / 80's logos .................... :-)

I like the "feel" of this one, but I am definitely on the early stages here, and will create several iterations.

Thanks for all the input! I'll keep you all posted. GO BYOAC!
