So I designed a CP which I am happy with but am unsure about which marquee I should use. I have made two - one of which has caution tape on it...making it a little more bold and attractive, but the caution tape doesn't carry through out the CP, nor do I want it to as it gets far too busy. The other is without the caution tape, which stands as a closer mate to the CP but isn't quite as loud. I'd appreciate some feedback, which marquee should I use with my already finalized CP?!?
Thanks!!

I really like the marquee WITH the caution tape.
Are you doing side art? You could use the caution tape on the sides as well to tie it all together. A larger zombie silhouette on the side with the blood and a carefully placed caution tape would be sweet.
You could even do a monitor surround with caution tape going across the top or bottom kind of like they did with the tire track going up the side of the frogger machine.
Nice work!

Sorry I should have mentioned that before...I WILL be doing side art eventually. for now it is just plain black vinyl with red tmoulding. it will be white site art with the same theme when I actually get the time and money to finish it off in a few months. Thanks for the feedback!

I also like the caution tape, but I think a lot of it would be covered up by whatever you decide to mount the marquee with.

I prefer the one with the caution tape too.
Have you tried using a color or a fill pattern for the text on the marquee? Whole lot of white going on there...
Otherwise, looks pretty good. All the blood isn't really my thing, but I certainly get the theme.
