I'm building a Raspberry Pi fight stick to play console + mame. I wanted to use the Pi 3 to be able to play as many games as possible. I was playing around with artwork to help get the size figured out. The build might be simple rectangle with beveled sides. I'm sandwiching this between wood and plexi. I wasn't planning on 4 admin buttons, but without it the symmetry is thrown off with giant sections of dead space.
Also how about the insert letters vs. the printed small letters? I'm no artist but i think this is a cool start, Any thoughts?

The buttons are representations of the red buttons i'll put in and probably use a red ball top. I'm going to try all sanwa stuff this time as I used seimitsu on my bartop and want to see the differences.

One of my concerns is that the Sanwa buttons don't come in translucent in screwbutton form so i'd have to use Seimitsu buttons to get the artwork on the actual buttons. I like Seimitsu, as i've used it in my genesis bartop, but i'm not sure if translucent buttons would look good against this artwork. I'd also probably have to get a translucent ball, but i feel that solid colors would look more old school and fit better.
