My Photoshop skills are EPIC!!!  (Well, not really.  It's not even Photoshop.  It's Ulead PhotoImpact.)

...just something I got in my head, really...

There have been a few movie themed cabs here, remember the Back to the Arcade Bartop...  What are you thinking for your cab?

Seriously, I'm none too sure.  I still have my (mostly) complete series of "The Punisher" comics, so I could always make up a pretty serious cab of that.  (All time favourite comic.)  I could also do up a nice "Watchmen" cab, too... Hmm.  If my Wife had her way, she'd want me to make up a cab based upon "The American President", which is her favourite movie....  Welllllll, maybe THAT'S the way to garner support for the project!  I should mock up some marquee and side art for the cab in that style!!!  (No - she'd just laugh.)

Ah well.

Actually, that pic above was pretty much my thought and inspiration - shy of putting Ryu inside the pic, actually.  That was more of a goof than anything.  And I figure copying the original font really isn't that big of a stretch, since pretty much anyone can do it.  I think I'm just looking for some inspiration to just "hit me".
