Post by: Rio Rebel on January 07, 2006, 04:14:47 pm: I'm glad to hear it. I had your upright arcade on my short short list before I suddenly found a deal last week (I bought someone else's project which had a 27" monitor and several extras).

Good luck!

On a related topic, what lawyer does that Foley guy use?

Since you designed that for me, it has been popping up all over. You made a definite winner on that one. Shame you didn't trademark the design. Of course, then you would have had to enforce that trademark, which costs big $$$.

Post by: DreamArcades on January 10, 2006, 02:16:56 am: Sorry about that. I normally let the customer pick their own marquee from the Arcade Art Library, as we have our own wide format printer. Just as long as they don't want to use any trademarks (MAME, Pac-man, etc).

If you want I will stop using this Marquee. Honestly though, it's the most popular marquee we've had.

I could always send you a free copy of it, just as a small thank you?

I was just kidding about suing, I'm delighted to see it's so popular.
A free copy would be awesome if it's not too much trouble :D

LOL...that's a bezel that doesn't go to the cab just stuck on there to get it off the floor.

I need to get either a black or a blue bezel, the red just doesn't work.

Post by: APFelon on February 04, 2006, 09:32:53 am: Flip that bezel over to the non-glossy side and spray paint it flat black. Looks great and you don't have to buy or cut a new bezel.

I thought about that, but really want a blue bezel. Nearly everything else is blue, and I found the perfect shade of poster board the other day.
