Title: Sweet Marquee
Post by: killr0y on February 16, 2003, 01:08:39 pm: Guys,

I am in the process of creating a marquee for my new cab. I am looking for some high res artwork of games like Marvel vs Capcom, Frogger, Centipede, etc. I have already exhausted Oscarcontrols.com's wonderful art collection and really need a few more characters to even out the marquee.. Any links would be greatly appreciated.. I am especially interested in very high res stuff.

Thanks Again,
Killr0y

Thanks for your help! I found a couple more characters that round out my marquee nicely. Here is a "thumbnail" of my marquee. The actual res is 5600x1600 and razor sharp!

I am usually don't care for the character montages, but that looks pretty good.

I may actually make more than one and switch them out every once in a while to keep things fresh.. then when i scrape up enough money for a second cab, i can use the second marquee.

Speaking of which, I know Kinko's does some kind of printing on backlit plastic under their "posters & signs" products on their web page. Has anyone used them and if so, what kind of quality is the output & how much does it run?

Thanks!

It's still too many colors for me personally, but it's very sharp. Very good job!
