I'm finally moving forward with my cocktail cabinet (www.twistedrails.com/mamecab (http://www.twistedrails.com/mamecab)) thanks in part to swapping over to 49-way joysticks. I have a hunch that I might never have finished if I didn't need to swap out all my joysticks. I committed the sin of hooking up the controls before being finished...
I've "created" four different CPOs for my four panels that are very simple and reflect several of my favorite games. The wife has approved them which means little can/should be done to them. The issue I'm having is what to do for the cocktail table underlay and could use some help brainstorming. Before you ask, I still don't have a name for my cabinet.
Below is the artwork I've modified thus far, along with a top-view layout of the panels together.

Any thoughts?

Very nice artwork! How about devoting each side of the table to one of the four games' bezel artwork?

I tried something along those lines and came up with something I like and my wife likes as well. The cabinet is in the living room so she's been getting final approval on many of the items...

Very nice! One recommendation would be to run the Pac-Man dots all the way around, just to connect all the areas.
