Have you got a mock up or a way to try it for a while?  I could handle it there but if you have visitors/button mashers they will exit games a lot.  I might put coin/start on the right, over under, and put the exit on the far left.  I have right hand bias though.  looks really good.  STNG themed cab I take it?

Where's the joystick hole, or is this just for playing games with only buttons (or is it just dark and I can't see the joystick hole)?

I'd probably consider moving that exit button, too...

But I like the artwork!

Drop the exit button, make it a shifted combination like "Start+Pause".

But.. but you're covering up Ten-Forward with the start button!

I have no idea what I should do for bezel art. Split it in half with Borg/Enterprise art or just go generic space...? Hmm... Difficult.


Go with Borg Picard!  ;D

Don't know if you are going with a "symmetrical" feel but I would get rid of the middle button all-together. (the start button, was the esc) I hate to see that artwork covered up!

Is there any reason why it has to be on the CP?

+1 on moving the start button.  I'd move it over to one of the sides.

You'll definitely want to make sure that the bezel is an image that makes sense from all sides, or at least the sides of both players.

Just a thought. Since you have a borg vs. Starfleet thing going on, maybe throw something borg themed on one side of the bezel and something starfleet on the other side. Maybe something more subtle.

I just found out, there is a borg language and font available. I am not really surprised at all that it exists. Maybe on the borg side you could write stuff in the borg language font. "Resistance is Futile" maybe?  ;)

Then on the Starfleet side, you can put on starship or shuttlecraft designation numbers. Like the picture below, the  NCC-1701 / 7

Borg side:


Starfleet side:
