That's cool. The PRIMAL part is kinda hard to read. I love the MAME though. Can you brighten up the PRIMAL? Great start.

I'm assuming you're using a Primal Rage theme for your marquee? Have you tried finding a real Primal Rage font? Or perhaps you could use a full-size scan of the marquee for better image qality.

The idea is great but I do have to admit it's a bit fuzzy and thin.

There is also alot of black that looks out of place in the center.

You center that "MAME" a bit and you might be onto something! Hell, just leave the "MAME" off. It's only gettign in the way.  ;D
