Title: MvC2 Arcade Artwork - Suggestions and Input
Post by: obizues on January 29, 2019, 04:49:19 pm
Hey everyone, this is my first arcade so I haven't had much design experience and before I start printing out stuff I'd like to hear people's opinions.

This is how it looks now:

Questions:

What should I do for the black bezel?  Should I put artwork around it?  Just colors and shapes?  Charactes? More Metal Trim?  etc.

What about the black speaker area?  I realize mine is also slanting at a more dramatic angle than most, but same question for that.

Eventually I make overlay the move-list and instructions stickers, but I'm not sure if that necessarily matters.

Just need some speaker covers. I think the rest looks good.
No need to clutter up the bezel or speaker area with anything else.
Don't know the size of your speakers but this is what I used for mine.

I have some. That was my original idea.

This.  Your cab looks sweet.  I like how it is wide, I bet you get no cabinet wiggle.   :applaud:
