Hi
I have been a long time lurker and with the help of these forums have finally got my cab pretty much done apart from the artwork, and am now in need of a marquee.
As I am unable to think of a name for my machine, i was wanting to go with a Mame themed marquee, so was wondering if any of you have a copy of either of the following (in any format, psd, ai, etc) so that I can modify it a bit before printing.
Any help much appreciated
Thanks
Lemaru

Not those exactly but you may wanna check some sites like Arcade art library and vectorlib
-
Yeah I tried them but particularly liked the text and name logo on these! Cheers tho
-
Is there anyone else who could possibly help? Especially with the Atomic Mame marquee with the blue grid behind it. Thats the one I am ideally after.
Any help much appreciated

arent these from gameongrafix??
email scott and tell him you want him to print this but you need the file to make some changes. I am sure he'll send it to you(or lose potential customer!)
-
No joy, they wont send out the files as in the past they have ended up on competitors sites....
Looks like thats the end of that plan then :( Annoying as i had my other art sorted! Back to the drawing board!
-
Did you ask if Scott can do the changes for you? (and how much?)
-
Is this Kerry? If it is, Like I told ya, If someone is to recreate the artwork, it will be more expensive. I am sure Scott can make any changes you desire...

Nope it's not kerry, lol... Still looking for a marquee... the cab is looking a tad naked without one! Trouble with gameongrafix is that I'm based in the UK, and inernational shipping is stupidly expensive (half as much again as the maquee itself is costing) :(
-
I don't know if i'm 'allowed' to re-create it. (it wouldn't be hard) any copy right issues on this.
As i could get some time to make a .PSD (would be fairly close i'm guessing.)
Or is that bad taste on my part??
A quick and dirty attempt attached - i believe pixelhugger is the creator of the atomic logo - unsure of the creator of the marquee. However, i certainly don't want to get on Scott's off side.
So let me know what you want to change and i'll email scott to find out if he's happy with that - As i could just send you the PNG or TIFF.

That looks awesome. Things i wanted to change were the background, was wanting to try it with the fusion explosion image (http://arcadeartlibrary.com/arcade_art/details.php?image_id=296 (http://arcadeartlibrary.com/arcade_art/details.php?image_id=296)) and see if it looks any good, or there was an awesome planetscape sort of scene i found (but thats at home). And maybe try a different colour scheme (my cabinet is all black with silver t-molding, no side art) but dont know what will look good.
Though I have spotted a post with the font used on that marquee, so if i could actually brush up on my photoshop id give it a bash myself.
-
OK here is the marquee with the fusion background - it all comes down to what you think looks good.
I hope this maybe enough for you to have a play with and maybe come up with something you like.
If it was me i would clean the boarder with a vectored curve as it does have some jaggies there, but they aren't bad as ususally no one would be looking that close ;)

AWESOME!! Thats great dude... Thanks alot for that, would of taken me ages to come up with summat similar. I'm gonna have a play and try some different backgrounds. Means I can print a couple on paper to try out before spending on getting a proper one printed.
I do wish I was any good with art and design stuff... thanks again mate!
-
I just wanted to thank you too for that. I may use it myself. Whats the font called because its missing when I load it in photoshop?
-
